Title: Who are your favorite or most used champion?
Post by: King Whistle[1up] on March 17, 2013, 04:00:03 PM
Like the title say's, who are you favorite hero's? If it is different than the first, who do you use most? What do you like about them, what don't you like?

This is mostly to help out newer players like myself in understanding the heros, their pros and cons, and how best to build them in game.

I really like using Ash but if you just look at my record with her, I kind of suck with her. I am much better with Garen but I just don't enjoy using him as much because I like the ranged style of fighting.

For like 2 days I have been using Pantheon. At first I hated him because his ultimate is a piece of crap and he just didn't seem strong enough to get right in the middle of fighting with the other melee fighters. But I did some reading on him, learned some effective ways to combine his moves and now I am doing a lot better with him, killing a lot more and dying a lot less.

Pro's:
If used effectively he has some powerful moves for stunning then rapidly striking multiple times before the opponent can escape
His attacks have medium range so I can still attack if they are fleeing ahead of me
His E attack hits all opponents in range and double's on champions
He blocks some attacks with his ability power

Con's:
He is really slow and you have to increase both his movement and attack speed if you want to be of any use
His ultimate move still sucks and for the most part I don't use it. When I do, even if it is a direct hit it seems to do less damage than his other attacks if used in quick combination
His ultimate takes several seconds and leaves him vulnerable the entire time

I like Katarina. she takes alot of skill to be able to dodge skillshots and whatnot. harder to play at higher elo because of how easy it is to counter her.

Her pros are high damage output
Ult that does AOE massive damage.
awsome passive

Her cons are She gets ccd and shes dead
Have to snowball midish game or  your not really much use later game.
Has alot of counters

Garen.

His spells work with my kind of style of fighting. They work with me.

Master Yi - Best Champion Ever.

Fastest champ in the game and no one really counters him.


Cho'Gath - Health, Health, Health, and more Health.

I build him tanky and he just stays in lane all day long. It's great when I get him over 5k health.

Anyone with hard cc or health reduction counters him pretty damned hard.

yi is really only good in a lower elo. once u get past that yi is almost never used as he cant do much in teamfights. xin zhao is a pretty good counter as he has his w's passive heal and his knockup of his q and his slow. usualy any yi i play usualy ends up just running away with his ult

Thats how you would build most adc's. with vayne and quin as the exceptions where u would build IE for the crit strike

True, although I tried to do that with Ashe but I can't seem to work it out. I might just be to impatient and rage instead of focusing.

usualy if u are getting harrased alot in laning phase then its best to get a dorans blade for the lifesteal. if not i steal start building a bloodthirster first so i can sustain in lane and farm properly. then i will go with either infiniti edge or phantom dancer. build last whisperer if they build armor items like randuins

For both you wouldn't really counter me, we would just stalemate.

And for Yi, I would eventually have the advantage as I gank bot and get kills.

Whenever you win like 20 games, you should have enough to buy her. She's only 6300. Most level 10's are playing with a champion that is 6300, purchased. I chose Draven (Axe Man). You'll rack up the money quickly. Trust Me, I was thinking the same thing you were at this time. Then, I stayed consistent with League.

My favorite most played champion is Sona.
By far the most well rounded of the support champions.
Pros
Great lane sustain
Excellent poke range
Great auras
2 CCS and a heal make for an excellent aggressive bottom lane
Not item dependant.

Cons.
Can be out laned using hard cc.
Heal is auto target so you can't always direct your spells as intended
Can be countered by aggressive gameplay.


Over all she is an excellent first choice if learning the game. However can take some time to perfect and master

I typically play adc if at all possible and Tristana is my best choice there. But I have been trying to branch out some this week. I had a few good TF rounds mid lane. I went 21-8 mid with him earlier tonight. I have also done a little with Malphite up top, he is tanky beyond belief. I just couldn't die. I still prefer adc bot to any other position though. Nunu jungler might be my 2nd favorite this week.
