Which Champion should I purchase?

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.

Zed Katarina Yasuo

All feedback is appreciated.

Remove 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.

Sounds like you want a good mid champ? Get Fiddlesticks - easy to learn, go go Jg / Sup / Mid and he's awesome.

It 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.

I 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.

If 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.

Zed 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.

Zed is great in till people start buying hourglass and qss. I never played Yasuo so can't say much about him. My vote would be Kat because she can just snowball and carry the game

Sorry to bump this, but I just need a little more votes/feedback.
