Is it worth going on with him or would I be better off finding a champion with higher potential? If change, any advice on a fitting champion?

    I've tried a few other champions as well (Ryze, Vladimir, Elise, Jax, Fiddlesticks, Yorick), but I like Garen the most because of his seemingly good survivability, mobility and burst.
    Garen is a forgiving top laner due to his passive regeneration.

    However, my recommendation to all new League players is to avoid buying any champions at all and saving all of your IP for tier 3 runes.

    My opinion is simple: I'd rather play all of the free champions and have 3-4 role-specific rune pages than a couple champs that may fall out favor. By playing every free champion with each passing weekly rotation, you will learn the strengths and weaknesses of most of your opponents-to-be. Knowledge of your opponents capabilities is almost as important as mastering your own.

    Hmmmm.. After playing him this week and LOVING him, I'm considering buying Volibear for solo top, is he remotly viable in anything other than low elo blind picks and bot games?

    He's ok, but not the greatest top laner. He can get kited pretty easily. Jungle-wise, he's average to above-average level.

    Depending on the new itemization and new jungle in the upcoming patches, he might be viable.

    I've been playing for a while, tho not consistently. Anyway, I feel the roles that suit me most are mid and adc.

    I only really have one adc that I really like and that's Ezreal, but I'm getting a bit bored of him.

    So I was looking at either Graves or Vayne, and they're both 6.3k respectively. I know Vayne has a weak lane phase, and a strong endgame, and is probably one of the hardest adc's to master, whereas Graves is just good allround, and a bit easier to play. But I have confidence in that I might learn Vayne and play well with her if I just spend some time with her.

    Which one would you recommend, given I spend some time with either of them?

    I only play draft pick normals and occasionally ranked if that makes any difference. Blind pick only if I play with a friend who only has a few champs.
    Both are great AD Carries and I find both fun to play.

    Vayne is a very powerful late game carry provided that you learn proper positioning, shes great. True dmg and high mobility make her what she is.

    Graves is a great also, hes also very bursty. I find him fun when I first learned ADC. Burst and tankiness are what make up Graves.

    Most low elo solo queue games do not last very long, so if you can win lane and force surrenders, its a win. I do recommend graves if u want to carry normally, but if you can make your positioning and other mechanics great, then Vayne can carry at any elo.




    My decision: Diana is on sale, so ill just refund the 6.3k ip i spent and buy her w/ RP. Im not sure what to use the 6.3k ip on, but I need some champs that can also carry hard in solo queue. Its either
    -Rengar
    -Corki & Nidalee
    -Corki & Olaf
    -Corki & Gragas
    -Nocturne

    Corki and Olaf imo, Olaf is a great top. Counters things like Irelia and Yorick (to an extent). He's a decent jungler too. Corki is a pretty decent ADC too imo. Fallen off after the nerfs a bit but still strong.

    Couldnt really tell you a specific reason to buy him since he isnt that great anymore. But he's still solid on top lane and ok on mid.

    I bought Nocturne last night and I'm still learning the ropes with him. His ultimate is just so powerful and makes ganks trivial. I would say saving it for bot lane ganks would be the smartest idea because it's a two kill gank if you know what you are doing. I'm happy I bought him but he does feel a bit iffy in the jungle early clearing.

    Any good enemy team will ward enough to see you before Ulti range, the ulti huge nerf range crippled his ulti-ganks, now you have to get to ward range before you ulti-blink on them

    Great as a midlaner and decent as a jungler. Very few direct counters for midlane and is quite good in every department.

    Ridiculously strong mid. Her kill potential at 6 is insane and she brings strong assassination, utility, and survivability.

    She's still fun Jungle, but the lack of lane exp and gold will hamper her a bit. Lvl 6 ganks are still strong as fuck though.

    I've been playing almost NOTHING but Lux for the past few weeks, but I really have to learn another champion (mostly for when someone snags mid, as I dislike support lux)
    I'm thinking of learning solo top, is there anyone who comes to mind that is good at solo top and has long range nukes? Or (alternatively) is hard to get away from, with some decent range stuns or snares.

    I personally like Foxfire Ahri more mostly because of her recolored skills but in the end its up to you which one to choose.
