Looking to expand my champion pool

Hi all,

I'm just a lowly bronze 5 for life and while I only play casually nights after work, I still desire to get better. Ever since that desert event I have been hardcore picking Wukong top and I feel like I have come a long way. I love his style how I can fight, roam, duel and assassinate simply but I really feel like I am leaning far too hard to him. I'm just looking for opinions on a few other champs I should really work on next so I have slightly more diversity to bring to the game.

Post for top, jungle and mid. I was a support main for most of my league games but I like carrying now that I can do it sometimes.

here is my lolking: http://www.lolking.net/summoner/na/37909702 (Ugly i know :(, but I am super nice). I'm open to any tips and opinions. If anyone is super bored look at my rune pages, I think they are fucked and basically 16 pages of the same shit. Gotta run to work now, thanks all. Bye~

Glad to hear you're trying to improve. Well, here's my advice: Start experimenting with as many champions as possible during their free weeks in normals or bots games. When you feel you really like using said champion or you've got a good grip on their kit you write it down as one of your three mains for it's role. Just for the record i'm gonna give you my list.

Top Lane: Shyvana, Renekton, and Riven Mid Lane: Vel'Koz, Azir, Yasuo Jungle: Sion, Diana, Xin Zhao AD Carry: Draven, Ezreal, Quinn Support: Taric, Nami, Blitzcrank

I tend to perform very well with these champions compared to others. The reason why I choose three different champs for each role is in case the enemy takes the one I intend to pick or bans it. If that occurs I can easily swap to another one. Also, make it a point to learn what champions are the biggest threats to your picks. For example, a good Darius is an absolute nightmare for your Wukong.

One last thing: go check out solomid.net or mobafire.com. Those two websites host a large number of guides written by league players. Checking out the ones by high elo players might help improve your builds.

Hihi,

You can try these champs, as they are rather new-user-friendly and simple in mechanics

Top: Nasus, Ryze Explanation: Although both are very weak early game, but all you need to do is to farm up and you will scale into a late game monster with the right items. (If you try out Nasus, just farm your stack until 400 at least).

Mid: ------------ I love playing mid champs, but because of the current meta, there really isn't one mid champion that I would consider easy to play/learn. Some very conventional and viable ones are: Yasuo, Zed, Akali, Talon, Fizz, Orianna, Syndra, Ziggs, etc

Jungler: Kha'zix, Vi, Jarvan IV To be honest, I, with all sincerity in my heart, think jungle is the most influential role in the game. A good gank can not only kill the enemy, but also disrupt the atmosphere among the opponent team especially in solo queue. Kha, Vi and J4 are all very viable picks with kha being the hardest in my opinion. Jarvan and Vi are both really tanky/initiation heavy junglers while Kha tends to focus on assassinating more.

Support: Blitz, Nami, Leona, Braum, Morgana All supports I suggested depends a lot on the skill shots. Focus on warding, positioning, engaging, peeling and you will find yourself praised as the best support ever.

ADC: ------------ This really really depends on your own play style preference.
