Shaco seems okay right now honestly. His early ganks are pretty good with his mixed damage (ad shaco boxes hurt more now) and he transitions well to "erase one person" assassin.

I just can't stop bottom from feeding the Vayne because Vayne is back baby and there's too many people that need bans at my level. It works because Mundo is disgusting right now. They gave him a bunch of free attack speed when he gets 100-200 ad from his E.

Also, he is one of the many, many characters who just beat Darius in every situation now because his E is better than Darius 5 stack passive. People keep banning Darius but I have no idea why, he's awful on this patch. Everything that hurts fighters hurts him terribly, and press the attack lets tons of other characters gently caress him up in a straight fight despite 5 stack passive. Once the dust settles a bit he's a lot of fun with fleet foot but right now, forget it. Also is it just me or is Nasus loving insane suddenly? Every time I see one they just melt people.

Good starting characters imo: Top Sion(1350) Sion is a straightforward character with an obvious niche. He's tanky, has a lot of crowd control, and does good damage. He also has obvious weaknesses in lack of mobility and very telegraphed moves. Nasus (1350) Nasus is good for learning how to play safe and farm, but also for how to take an advantage and force it when you have it. Jax (1350) Jax is a cheap but strong fighter for learning how to 1v1 well. Poppy (450) Poppy is very cheap and a very effective tank, but you need to get good at positioning to use her E, good at reading fights to effectively use her R, and know a lot about enemy abilities to effectively use her W. She's not a terrible choice but she's working below potential as a starting champ in some ways. Jungle Warwick (450) Warwick is pretty much the only modern champion explictly designed to have high accessibility. His moves are straightforward, his huge sustain makes him a very forgiving jungler, and he fights and ganks well. Amumu (450) Amumu is a straightforward cc tank jungler that costs nothing. Compared to Warwick, he's harder to clear with, more vulnerable to invades, and requires a little more finesse to hit bandage toss, but he's a good mold for learning tank jungling. Mid Annie (450) Annie is the prototypical starter mage. She has a straightforward game plan (stun people and 100 to 0 squishies) and straightforward weaknesses (no mobility, short ranges, all burst, CC is telegraphs its availability). She's also good for learning how to weave AAs in trades because she's got a long AA range, and is forgiving on last hitting because of her q mana reseting on kill. Morgana (1350) Morgana is also relatively simple but she's very safe and can be high impact just by hitting a binding. ADC Tristana (1350 but free if you do their promotion where you like them on facebook or something) Tristana has an escape/chase, self peel, wave clear, a trading tool, an attack speed buff, and scaling range. She's lacking in skillshot poke but she's pretty standard generally and has tools to undo mistakes. Ashe (450) Ashe has ranged poke, long range from level 1, vision for checking brush and objectives, a good AS steroid and a highly impactful ult with CC. She has no escapes so she's in some ways less forgiving than Trist, but a solid choice. Sivir (450) Sivir has no escapes other than speed from her passive and ult, zero CC, and her spellshield takes skill to use effectively, but she clears and pushes effortlessly. Support Janna (450) Janna has one job: save the carry. Shield, heal, knock up people trying to kill them, knock away people trying to kill them. She has good trading as well if you use her shield smartly. Soraka (450) Heal mans, hit q to heal yourself, use E to stop people killing your mans. There's skill to her but her goals are easy to understand. Sona (3150) I hesitate to put a 3150 champ on this list, but Sona is the cheapest poke support available and poke support is an important dynamic to learn. Sona's main challenge is staying alive, her abilities auto target so using them effectively is usually easy outside of her ult.

TheAnomaly posted:This list is alright - I wouldn't use Sona right now as the current state of runes/masteries makes all low hp supports incredibly dependent on positioning, and she just gets beaten on in lane. Morgana is hard to play effectively as a support imo, I wouldn't recommend her to new players in that role. Her poke is really underwhelming since they stopped thunderlords and iceknife procing instantly on her pool as well as nerfing the early rank damage significantly. She has zero sustain for her carry and very little for herself so she's easily forced out, and using her ult without killing yourself requires comparatively a lot of knowledge about matchups. A lot of her strength is tied up in hitting a very slow skillshot and timing her shield well to absorb CC without it just getting popped. Playing passively also hurts her worse in bot lane, since she doesn't DO anything if she's not threatening a bind, whereas in mid you can just hang back and W since you're maxing it.

BENGHAZI 2 posted:Is that damage dealt by or to a champ bc if it's damage to that Tris got bodied so hard I had to make sure it wasbt me "Total damage to champions" is the damage that champion has dealt to other champions. It's usually a better indicator of usefulness for carries than KDA or total damage outside of some outliers (pokers naturally do more damage than bursters, pushers do more damage to objectives and creeps, etc). Also total damage done rather than done to champions is any kind of damage so you get wacky outliers like Ivern doing hundreds of thousands of true damage because of how his passive is coded.

Nightgull posted:I just want to say I like big, heavily armored guys a lot and Mordekaiser did not live up to that fantasy. Darius was really fun. But he seems very easy to run away from, and the Gnar I defeated in lane was even worse than me somehow. Darius Q is hard to hit sometimes. Morde's design is weird and slightly misleading, he's hard to kill like you might expect but he's an unusual mage/juggernaut rather than a more traditional tank or fighter. A lot of his survivability is essentially drain tanking. Gnar softcounters Darius so that match up isn't the best to judge by, but yes, the main issue with Darius is his low mobility and easiness to kite. If you want someone who's very big and chunky I'd recommend Sion.

Illaoi's character is great but her kit can be frustrating. You kinda have to hope people are dumb enough to fight in your ult or near tentacles. She's pretty stellar if you can land e and people are willing to scuffle with you, though.

njsykora posted:Yeah it's perfectly viable to terrify the poo poo out of your lane opponent and just say either you fight me or you don't get to play League of Legends today. Illaoi gets a bonus to that because if they bring a friend to fight you you get to press R and kill them as well. I've never felt Illaoi was really oppressive enough to do that. When I play against her I generally just keep up on CS, don't tend to lose much tower damage, and pray that my jungler doesn't hard commit on her next to a wall. It's not like Jayce or something who will murder you and your tower and deny you CS constantly.

Nightgull posted:When should I be taking the rift herald as top lane. I've always left it up to the jungle like I do dragon and nashor, but today was the first time I actually saw it in action and it looked incredibly amazing. Can I solo it at any point. I'm usually either Urgot or Illaoi, if that matters. Taking rift herald as top lane isn't usually a great idea because it takes a really long time and the enemy jungler can just slip in and smite it. Just ping your jungler to help take it if you take tower and force the other laner away or something.

Ra Ra Rasputin posted:With Wit's end in the patch notes getting 100g cheaper with +2 damage and going from 5 MR steal to 6 melee/3 ranged it made me think. Historically some tanks that have heavy auto interaction like Shen have, and it's the sort of item Yi might build if it's good. Shyvana and Jax also might work with it, except that no one builds AS on Jax anymore. Cho'Gath used to sometimes as a niche strategy, especially on TT, when E was a toggle. The problem is not a lot of characters want attack speed and not crit. Azir might build it but it'd need to be very overtuned.

Also like, people in this game can be pretty fuckin spiteful, if you ban their pick it might not end super good for you if they decide to int or something. But it's mostly just a dick move, especially in normals. Even in ranked, I don't think if you ban Teemo your support trying to play Teemo is gonna go "aw man better bust out my 100% winrate Braum then I guess", they'll probably just be even worse with something dumber.
