I think Talon is good for learning assassins because he's pretty strong and he also doesn't really have the ability to just distortion back or return to a shadow or whatever. You learn to pick good engages on Talon or you die.

Don't pick Amumu jungle, he sucks and is not a good way to learn jungle atm imo. Xin Zhao and Vi are much better simple picks to learn jungle.

xin zhao is piss easy so probably your best bet there, although obviously you have a way into a fight but no way out which can get awkward sometimes

the best support to learn the position with is bard, because once you start playing him you never have any reason to play other champions

best top is maokai or nautilus because theyre stupidly invulnerable to harm even against riven prima donna dipshits

i dont care about mid

Maokai hasn't been good in a long time.

Malphite is brain dead easy and has an amazing win team fights ult.

You guys sure are arguing about a large diversity of brainless champs. Wonder what that says about the game itself.

We've come up in the ram-raiding business, Owl.
It's all high class now.
No more baby seats.
Annie is a really bad mid to learn: she's very binary and her csing is brainless thanks to the Q change awhile back. I'd say Ahri is a better mid to learn because she has been in meta near constantly since release and is incredibly easy to play. Orianna is a good control mage to learn once you're comfortable with the role because she too is rarely ever out of meta and crushes teamfights past mid-game.

I actually feel like ADCs are in a decent spot right now. Most of the Juggernauts have taken some nerfs, people have more hp items that don't give armor and are good, armor's a little more expensive and people are playing more champs that have trouble diving like Shyvana or Darius. Guys like Corki and Graves that want to burst people out are pretty weak but if you pick a champ with self peel like vayne or trist or a champ with long range like Varus, Kog or Jinx then you aren't weak. You can't pick Graves, dash in and right click people to win but things are nowhere near as bad as they were a month ago.

I am addicted to video games.
How to break a losing streak:

step 1) well you have to be on a losing streak first so just hop on around 11 am looking for first win of the day after a game or two
step 2) four hours and 6 losses later just wait for the enemy team to pick a double jungle pantheon/shaco game
step 3) wait no lost that game too

Ironically all of the changes have made Malphite the best top laner so ADCs still don't get a break.

I'm not too concerned with how weak/strong ADC is, but I've mained the role for like 3 years now and it's never been less fun to play relative to the other roles than it is at the moment, which is a problem

Amumu has one of the biggest brain dead "fight time now" ultimates in the game though, which makes him exceptionally good in solo queue.

The meta where thorn mail rammus/amumu were in 2/3rds of my games was the worst meta.

The meta at even the beginning of this season was far worse for ADCs as well, overtuned Cinderhulk in jungle + top lane with the OP gromp buff. Juggernauts are pretty tame.

I can't tell if you are talking about Season 2, or this week where Amumu and Rammus are the #1 and #3 highest win rate junglers in the game.

I could literally grab a cinder and thornmail and smite the frog and the ADC would be dead before I even lost 20% of my health.

The classic hit 6, take dragon fight, ult enemy team when they contest, win game strategy.

I think that was also back when Taric/Sivir was considered a broken lane in solo q (at least, in silver) because you could point and click stun and then boomerang and that poo poo was OP.
