Need Help Finding and Practicing Champions

(You can skip to under the divider line or where the TLDR is)

I think it's time for me to try ranked again, (I stopped playing it for the Silver border, since it matches most of my skins). But I haven't found my 'one' champion for every lane. I decided to try to rank again since my friends, (the ONLY people I usually play with), are unranked/bronze/silver and I can find myself doing surprisingly better on most scenarios, (thinking, farming, skillshots, positioning ). For example; Going Lulu mid and having 40-60 CS more than our Caitlyn main and around 70-80 CS more than our Tryndamere main at around 25:00. I usually rarely lose any CS except maybe 1-3 per wave under tower, or I couldn't make up my mind in lane on which minion to attack making me lose just that 1 CS every few waves. I always farm whenever I can.

I found my 2 best champions, which aren't really played from others much often; MissFortune ADC, and Lulu top/mid/support. I find myself a great MissFortune since I have mastered how to land near 80%-90% of my bounces , (which is an estimate), on the enemy champions in lane. MissFortune is my perfect champion from everything in her kit, especially adding the trait of being "underrated".

I would prefer not to play against a Draven or a Caitlyn when I play MissFortune , so is there an ADC that works O.K. with them both?

I need at least 2-4 champions on every role, and the only things I can fill is usually jungle and support, here; Top - Lulu (maybe Shen since I loveeeee how he can support his teammates, but I need to learn him more) Jungle - Vi, Shyvana (no clue on what else to try) Mid - Lulu (maybe Lux if I start to spam-learn her) ADC - MissFortune (Lucian is fun to play) Support -Literally have an army here- Lulu Nami Annie Janna Leona Sona Soraka

TLDR; **Need help finding a few tops, maybe a jungler, a few mids, and a few more ADC's. I'm hoping you guys can figure out my playstyle, (since I really don't know what it is) from the champions I already play/suggesting. Just read the things below the divider line if you want. Thank you so much if you responded/tried to help! :) **

I'm silver right now, here's my pool (the ones in parentheses I'm less likely to pick): Top: Wukong, Malphite (then random stuff like Mundo, Garen, Alistar, Trundle, etc. I don't really play top) Jungle: Amumu, Wukong, (Vi, Yi, WW, etc) Mid: Morgana, Annie, (Orianna, Lux, Nidalee) ADC: Jinx, Ashe, (Sivir, Tristana, Caitlyn, Corki) Supp: Janna, Braum, (Sona, Soraka, Blitz, Thresh)

Maybe that gives you some ideas on champions you might want to try? I feel like if you're good enough at MF, you can handle Draven and Caitlyn pretty well; MF is also a lane bully so I think it becomes more of a skill match up at that point.

In general, I think for finding champions, you should just try and play all of them and stick to the ones you like. My playstyle varies a lot depending on who I'm playing; I like a lot of long-range champions (Jinx, Ashe, Morgana, etc) but I also like hard engage champions (Malphite, Amumu, etc), I like champions with a lot of CC (Janna, Morgana, Braum, Ashe, etc) but my favorite champion also has no CC (Nidalee). For ranked, I just stick to the champions that are a bit easier (in terms of mechanically playing them, like Nidalee is my favorite champion, and when I'm having a good day, I can completely take over a game, but when I have an off-day on her, things are pretty bad) just so I'm more consistent (ie. I play Morgana over Nidalee since Morgana is pretty hard to mess up). If you like a particular champion, just stick with them, since you're more likely to practice them and improve on them, which improves your play in the long run.

Annie Orianna Lux Lucian Nunu Shen

Annie mid/top is great to add in anyones' pool

Orianna mid for the support features you like to play, also Lux

If your already ok with the MissFortune's q, I don't see how you wouldn't be ok with Lucian's q

Nunu jungle is easy and fun to play, and can also give an ally movement speed and attack speed

Shen top @ what you said about him

Personally I prefer to jungle quite a bit.

The easiest to win with is Chogath so far. If you need help with jungling I can give you a few tips, since I somehow make any champion wipe the jungle easily.
