LoL Lesson: Understanding champion classes

To understand league of legends better, you have to know how to play certain champions, how to play when enemy team has them and how to play when your allies have them.

Basic classes would be: tanks, fighters, mages, supports, marksmen (Adc). Most of you know what each one of these mean and what champions would go in which class, but there is a lot of roles these classes can do and some of them can even fit multiple roles like Braum (support and tank). Tanks can be frontline and soak up damage (Maokai), Dive on enemy backline (Malphite) or protect your backline (Braum). Mages can be control mages (Orianna), burst mages (LeBlanc), poke mages (Nidalee). With new marksman update, adc can be played in multiple ways like autoattacking (vayne), spell based (corki), tanky (graves), supports can be protectors(janna), tanks (alistar) but there are some champions who cna do multiple tasks and they are considered harder to play like Thresh, he can peel, engage, pick off, zone or do anything depending on how you build him and what you max. When you learn these things, you can know which enemy champions are good in which situations and avoid them and you can learn which situations is their weak spot. League is 80% knowledge and only 20% mechanics, especially for top, jungle and support. there are champs that require no mechanical skill and only good positioning/timing etc. Master Yi is easy to play mechanicly but you have to know your limits, when to go in and who to focus and if you don't know that, you will play worse.

off topic tip: any champion can be countered with any champion if played correctly in certain matchup (don't pick counter champions just because someone said they are counter, learn how to play vs that champion and you can win any lane)

Feel free to comment, ask me how to play against someone, recommend future lol lesson, or anything you would like to know.

 

do you mean all ap items or just hextec?

 

it is best role to carry, but it doesn't take mechanical skill alot, one of th best junglers currently is volbear, he has no skillshots, he is point and klick champion. He still requires you to have knowledge, timings and positioning. I never said these roles don't take skill. I jsut said you don't need mechanics for those roles as much as you need knowledge. But for most adcs you need insane mechanics and good positioning

 

true, sure when I get bored I could do that too thank you for suggestion

 

my list isn't nonsence, this is I clearly stated basic classes, most of these classes are same thing with some minor variety, but then you could literally make 70 classes and put 1 or 2 champion in each, divers are still fighters, just with a different kit than bruisers or duelists, you could name a subclass for almost every single champion, knowing this does not help you understand the game better, useless and pointless
