[@Minizu4]

Most of the lane bullies don't fall off too hard, they stay relevant as a tank and can split push (trundle fucking takes turret faster than pretty much all champs ngl)

[@curser63]

defensive tank: protects teammates offensive tank: can't hit teammates if you're dead or running

[@energyjtww]

Just remember, ranged ad carry top laners are usually not the best mentally. Repeated jungle ganks and stomping them in lane may cause problems for them irl so be careful.

[@luibraine1879]

If you're new to playing midlane assassins and looking for a smoother start, I'd recommend avoiding Kassadin initially. Kassadin tends to struggle in the early game, lacking burst damage. Instead, consider starting with champions like Fizz or Ekko. They offer stronger early game presence and simpler gameplay strategies to help you get accustomed to the role.

[@eebbaa5560]

kassadin is also boring as shit

[@Walking_Softly]

Also Kassadin requires a lot of patience. Which a lot of people arent interested in having when playing a game.

[@Minizu4]

or you know, play fucking malzahar and one shot their team without needing any kills

Recommending Evelynn jungle for newcomers is a recipe for disaster for your team. You really need to watch a guide and play her a lot to get the hang of her like I did.

[@JionZz]

Though the same. Evelynn OTPs are (with Yuumi) the worst Teammates in High Elo cause they really cant play the game... just with their unique playstyles. Def. Try other jng assassins

[@eebbaa5560]

@@JionZzyeah i’ve tried playing her because i play other assassins but she just feels bad to me. using her abilities feels so clunky because it’s just spamming them as fast they can come out and she doesn’t use auto attacks so she just feels bad to play. plus she’s completely useless when behind so i can see new players not only struggling with her but also learning a lot of bad habits.

My pocket pick this season is going to be galio mid against ap champs, the new mr item with the magic shield feels really nice.

[@thomasanderson3432]

good luck, my thoughts are that this item on galio might be like rylai on anivia. and i have feelings like galio is going to be nerfed (hopefully for u later than sooner)

[@mesa9724]

It’s only good if they have 3 ap champs. Otherwise it’s overkill. Gallio already has an AP shield and mr buffs

Kled is a top specialist, he has a playstyle where you need to think "can i go in?" because when kled goes in you cant go out so if you have to little hp on kled then you cant go in, if you have full hp on kled but half on skaarl you need to think what champ your against since you could kill a singed but not a darius

''Kled good in late'' i mean... he is falling out late so... His ultimate can be interesting for a tf but apart that he is kind of like renekton, strong early-mid then fall off late.

[@TenneseyEtorki77]

Hello, did you have a guide/idea to help choosing your main "Lane" ? I played all lane and i never main 1 lane and actually i don't really know what to do. I just know that i don't like mid lane, i'm hardstuck Gold since season 3 (i reached plat last season but it feels like it's new gold) I mainly played top/jungle/support and a little bit adc too T___T

Remember guys this is just a broad generalization. A defensive support for example can still be aggressive think of taric flash e.

[@crosscourtwinner]

thank you so much for this. really appreciate it!

[@BenKingOfMonkeys]

Is there a poster version of the list?

[@Winddragon_85]

I would say i have a balanced set of champs for each class minus a few. Assassin: Akali, Naafiri, Kai'sa Mage: Ahri, Ezreal, yuumi Marksman: Ashe, Samira Tank: Kayle, Braum, Mordekaiser Jungle: Kindred, Evelynn Just for a few names

[@LoLAjax]

Udyr is no longer an early game ganker after the rework. He is much more of a mid game fighter looking to have 1-2 items to fight since that’s when he is at his strongest. After many nerfs to his early game stats he is a champion who struggles in early skirmishes but he has good dueling potential early. Basically ur not looking for 3v3s or 2v2s early as udyr. He is not built for that anymore.

[@void_king2962]

Renekton

[@xSneaky04]

Why their is never ap nunu mentioned. I wonder where u would put him (hard oder easy)

[@Plonom]

Easy

[@eebbaa5560]

ap nunu is hard as hell tbh. he’s pretty much a very committal assassin. he has some self peel with his w and e, but your positioning has to be on point to make sure you can get as many ult kills as possible. you also have to be a lot more discerning with your snowballs because if you snowball into the middle of their team and try to press r you’ll get oneshot. most important thing for playing ap nunu is finding good snowball angles and ulting in bushes. watch keshaeuw if you want to see a very high-level ap nunu player. he has a very risky playstyle and he dies a lot, so you’ll be able to learn what to do and what not to do

[@dankedpork117]

Thresh should be in the "you better run" subclass for supports

[@FirePhoenix103]

A good control mage for mid is hwei. I personally had no problem learning his combos so honestly it shouldn't be that difficult for everyone else 😂 he kinda has a mix of all mage types with support, burst, and artillery. I think the only reason he is put in control is cause he has alot of AOE attacks.

I started playing LoL: Wild Rift a few months ago and have mainly been playing Nami (healer) but want to play a tank on pc, just personal preference, basically. What is a good beginner brawler type tank that has a lot of def? I also play Albion online (MMORPG) and I play a mix-role, I'm a tank and healer

[@labros9999]

If you want a sup that has both plenty of damage, both in teamfights and laning, and is quite tanky as well, I'd recommend swain, plus he's easy enough to try but not quite boring because of the many ways you can use some of your abilities.

[@tak8850]

I just watch highlights then try them out in game then boom I got a main

[@xOnTheBrinkx]

I would like to point out that I think Briar should be more in the fighter class than the assassin class. I know it is more popular to build her with lethality than with bruiser items, right now, but to me it feels more satisfying to be able to sustain yourself as Briar in big team fights rather than trying to make those picks on enemies that make a misplay, because if you make a mistake as her, you're going to be dead quicker with a squishy lethality build.

[@Karpofcarp]

I love how they put azir in the "specialist" category when hes considered a control mage

[@throwaway81818]

Colloquially, but Rito classified him as a specialist so they’re just saying the ‘official’ term

[@ebox147]

But he plays similarly to an adc as well

[@Karpofcarp]

@@ebox147 I mean kinda, he's his own thing mostly since he has soldiers to control in many different ways, that's why he's more considered a control mage, cause he has to control a lot of situations compared to adcs

[@themonkeys96]

@@Karpofcarp "He's his own thing mostly..." So... a specialist... I'd say he's pretty far away from being appropriate labeled as a control mage especially when considering other control mages. He has a slow and the ability to create terrain. His ult would fit a control mage archetype, but the entirety of his kit doesn't.

id argue garen is a split pusher right now. hes at his best with PR ghost and going passive in lane if u watch palco

[@foxysavvy]

great video, why isnt pyke in ad support though???

[@themonkeys96]

That category is specifically AD Carry support. Yes he does attack damage, and he can carry, but the combination of those two does not an ADC make. This is partially why the term was moved towards marksman. But, for this video, the AD Carry support category was specifically for those that can provide consistent attack damage at range. Pyke being melee already is a significant barrier to entry. Beyond that, the main reason you play pick is his catch and one shot potential, not continuous damage in a fight. Hence why he's placed in the catcher category.

[@EcoSignori-wj1fi]

i might like the support enchanter, as i feel really good and used to main 7 of those champions XD

It is simple and the rule is same for all games, not only LOL: Choose something OP and avoid low impact champs, so You can climb even being weak and wont stuck in emerald.

Doesnt matters how good You are as teemo shaco jayce, if u play against sylas gnar ornn etc (just examples).

True, maining gragas top for example is very fun but your team mostly will lack good frontline and you cant hold lane late vs most top champs because they simply outscale you, mid here would be much better but there many champs who just do way better

Kayle as split pusher, and akali as lane bully Is the funniest thing ive seen in a while😂

[@HIK4G3]

Also yone in harder than Fiora Is wild ☠️

[@lv4715]

I think the reason they put Kayle is split push was because of the point "More impact late game". And she's not bad at taking towers. Definetly should be grouping as Kayle, but it's not wrong. Akali as lane bully... I mean Q poke with an auto does nice damage. At at 3 she gets a good amount of power. She can't kill you yet in 1 rotation, but if done right, she can bully you out.
