Best carrying champion for my playstyle?

MxTPRdi9Xq·Apr 27, 2015·1 votes·1,045 views

I'm fairly new to playing LoL, and I still haven't found the right champion to suit my needs. I normally like to play a high damage dealing assassin that can quickly flee the scene after attacking and possibly securing a kill. I've tried out Master Yi so far, and he's pretty good for me, but are there any other carrying champions that you would recommend? So far, I've taken a look at Yasuo, Zed, and Lucian (even though he's not considered to be an assassin), but they seem a little difficult to learn. Those are the champions who look appealing to me.

Any help is appreciated.

Ahri Leblanc Fizz Kassadin Katarina Zed - Mid Laners

Shaco Khazix Nidalee LeeSin - Junglers

All of these have good burst damage and are mobile.

I might add Rengar to the junglers list

he has his jump to get into fights and can kill a single target pretty quickly, problem with him is getting out, but if your target is dead and nobody is around to challenge you then that isn't a problem.

also Nocturne

Fiora (similar to rengar, gap closer but no escape) Fizz LeeSin Quinn (kinda) - Top

Quinn Fiora Nocturne Rengar Talon Diana Akali Pantheon Yasuo these champions lack an escape tool after they go in so i didn't include them but if played well i guess they're all right accept some of these champions I think are garbage tier.

He said that he was looking for a way to go in secure the kill and get out so that is all I put in.

Rengar Pantheon Diana I think these are worth playing with the right team and also against the right team. Diana particularly.

Yasuo Talon I think needs a lot of coordination with your team to find that true consistency.

Quinn Fiora Akali are the ones I think are pretty garbage. (atleast with the players I go against)

The problem with Rengar is that with an assassin play style, he is actually extremely difficult to play correctly, since if he doesn't insta-burst his target with a near perfect combo (like R>Find target>leap>Empowered E>AA>Hydra>Q>W>Empowered Q>E>AA), he will usually get CCed and die very quickly. You're absolutely right about his 1v1 pick strength though, because if nobody is there to save them, he can afford to not be as precise.

Your Root(empowered E) combo is slightly off. After R>Find target> Leap> empowered E and hydra while mid leap>Q>W>E>aa and empowered Q to finish off.

Yeah, that's my point, I'm even trying to be aware of his combos and can't even write it correctly lol!

You left out Talon Talon , the guy with the largest and quickest burst in the whole entire game. Can 100-0 a squishy in .25 seconds.

I play alot of lucian since I Like his style of being able to bully and punnish misstakes. He's only got one bad adc matchup and that's Graves and he can still win it you play smart.

Zed is basicly what you just said, you ult, kill someone then reactivate your ulti to pop back to your original location.

Katarina Very high damage aoe assassin. Pentakill machine. Difficulty early. Leblanc One of the highest bursts in the game. Safe aggressive laning. Falls off late. Annie Zero counterplay 100-0 aoe stun burst. No mobility. Nidalee High burst, high mobility, even has sustain. Reliant on landing q. Riven Stupid burst, AD-scaling shield, high mobility, tons of aoe cc, aoe execute ultimate. Talon Still arguably "okay" after silence removal. Kinda difficult to learn imo. Shaco Stealth, many different build paths, kit relies on mind games.

Zed is pretty much exactly what you described, so you might want to put in time to learn him. Yasuo and Lucian don't fit quite so much as far as fleeing the scene goes. You could also consider LeBlanc Leblanc and Ahri Ahri .

Fizz Fizz and Kassadin might be worth looking into, though Fizz is less burst-assassin now and Kass needs some time to ramp up. You might also like Kha'Zix Khazix , but he relies on resets to get out of fights, and people think he's bad after the nerfs. That doesn't mean you can't try them and enjoy the playstyle, though. Anyway, I don't think there's much else with high burst that can also quickly flee. Except possibly a fed Shaco.

Leblanc Zed Katarina Talon Akali come to mind for mid laners as they are super mobile. I recommend talon as he has a very high winrate right now and his ulti is good for getting in and out (although he is pretty nerfed). * Vayne IMO would fit the category although she is really challenging but satisfying if you master her; she completely melts tanks late game.

there are no "carrying champions", there's only carrying players and not because they go 10:0 in their lane as zed but because they know how to abuse their teams mistakes to his advantage. you can do that with almost every champion that has some sort of waveclear and just learn the game.

What you want seems to be Zed He is pretty much the epitome of go in -> kill -> get out Yes he needs some practice but that is pretty much the same for all mobility/escape champions.
