After some research and suggestions from others, I've narrowed my options down to three champions. I usually like to play a carrying assassin, so who do you think I should get that would fit that type of playstyle? Basically, I want to deal as much damage to enemies, potentially killing them most of the time.
All feedback is appreciated.
Nidalee SO NYAAA1 votesZed is great in till people start buying hourglass and qss. I never played so can't say much about him. My vote would be Kat because she can just snowball and carry the game
MxTPRdi9Xq1 votesSorry, I'm a fairly new player, and I'm not really sure what snowballing means?
Richard1 votesBasically getting ahead.. And staying ahead/destroying.
Nidalee SO NYAAA1 votesIf you get ahead I'm the laning phase it's really easy to stay ahead with her. Also Kat is easier to learn then Zed and Yasuo
Deep Terror Nami1 votesv Like a snowball let down a mountain that just gets bigger and faster and can't be stopped.
Space Bum1 votesRemove Kat and flip a coin. No matter how good you get with Kat you will be running a huge risk of getting shit on by anyone with hard CC, if the team had a Alistar or lulu you will not ult once.
Nidalee SO NYAAA1 votesBut with Zed the Ap mid buys hourglass and the ADC buys qss who do you ult the tank?
Space Bum1 votesYou can get a huge lead before that happens. It's a lot easier to fight someone that has to buy an item to counter you instead of someone that has the counter at level 1. That same item can also counter Kat.....
Nidalee SO NYAAA1 votesAll these champs can be shit on. I just saying Kat might be easier to learn. I think all these Champs would be fine though
Space Bum1 votesI definitely agree that she is the easiest. I just think that out of the three she is the most likely to to be useless if she does not get an early lead and she has far more hard counters than the other 2.
TeemoJenkins1 votesSounds like you want a good mid champ? Get Fiddlesticks - easy to learn, go go Jg / Sup / Mid and he's awesome.
crazymage1 votesFiddlesticks is horrible in this meta... There are way too many tank/cc champs running around in the rift for him to do much. There are maybe a few lane match ups he can do ok with but overall i wouldn't invest the time into him unless the meta changes drastically.

OP is level 6... you think by the time he reaches 30 the meta won't have changed? By your same logic the only champ in his list that would be "good in this meta" is Zed because he builsd BotRK.
crazymage1 voteslol Zed is the only champion that works in this meta, if you look at whats being played. Learning champions when it isn't their meta doesn't make sense. Your intentionally putting yourself at a disadvantage when you don't even know if the meta will shift in your favor. Its better to learn the strong champions in the meta and teach your self to adapt as changes happen rather then try to predict things you can't know.

I Swain in this meta and I think I do pretty well. I've also done Fiddle Middle and done well also. Win rate kinda says it all. But that's in Silver, what works in other elo's I don't know.
crazymage1 votesSilver is weird you can pretty much get away with anything xD. Im not saying that fiddlesticks is a shit champ I actually really like fiddle and used to play him last season quite a bit. That being said i recognized that the meta shifted and saw what the pro's were playing so I adapted. I think swain works in this meta cause he has sustain, his build is tanky and he does consistent damage. I think most people will be able to shut fiddle down in the current meta just biased on what is being played. That doesn't mean you cant be successful I just think it become super situational and those situations don't happen enough to make the time investment worth it.
Nidalee SO NYAAA1 votesIf were talking about any mid champ I would say Ahri would be the best to learn because she works in every meta
crazymage1 votesYea Ahri is in a good spot right now but I wouldn't say she works in every meta. Like back when Xeraph, Ziggs, and Orianna were really strong Ahri struggled vs all the poke damage. IMO the best type of champions to learn are the ones with high utility because that pretty much is never useless.
Nidalee SO NYAAA1 votesOri is high utility xD
crazymage1 votesyea thats why she my fav xD
Handsome Jhin1 votesIt depends pretty heavily on how much you're willing to practice, honestly. Zed and Yasuo have much higher skill floors than Katarina, meaning they're harder to get the hang of, but once you do you'll be an unholy beast in lane. Katarina is pretty easy to stomp with, especially if you get a small head start.
That said, I'd say that out of the three, Yasuo has the highest reward but is also the most difficult to play. He's really hard to shut down if you can get a head start, but he takes a lot of practice. Given that you're new, though, if you start practicing with him (or with any of these guys) now, you'll be a beast by the time you hit level 30.
Shiroi Kitsune1 votesI would say it partially depends on play style. Katarina for example is extremely good at 2+ people fights, whilst zed prefers to just pick people off, whilst not providing too awful much in larger skirmishes. Yasuo I prefer more as a counter pick champion because of his windwall. Otherwise, I just think Zed provides more than he does.
Drunk Rummate1 votesIf you're a new player then katarina will treat you well because she's very easy. Warning though - she gets boring pretty fast if you care about having a mechanically challenging champion. You'll probably win a lot on her though.
Yasuo is very difficult to play and even in the hands of a good player he's below average right now
Zed has an easy early-mid game but you'll get to late game with 10+ kills and wonder why you lost every time, because his teamfight is awful and people build zhonyas/QSS to counter his ult in the midgame
Personally I'd recommend none of them to you, but if I had to suggest I'd say kat.
Fewtas1 votesZed is by far the better choice, because of two things. One, he wins lane against both of those champs if he's smart. Two; Zed is the only one who is truly viable in the modern tank meta.
MxTPRdi9Xq1 votesSorry to bump this, but I just need a little more votes/feedback.
