I recently brought some friends to LoL, they want to level up/solo-q later. They have a Dota-background and picking the game rather fast up.
Which leads me to my question: Which champs would you consider a must-have for sucessful low-elo solo carrying for each role?
I did it myself with Udyr, Ryze, Vayne, Sivir and Sora, Ali and didnt feel too lackluster. They think about buying some RP for 6-7 champs and save their IP for tier3 runes.


Must-have:
All the 450 IP champs and Tristana (free via Facebook).

Tell them to play free heroes and potentially buy the ones they enjoy. That's all.

Champ picks don't matter too much at low elo, especially if you can expect to be better than the average beginner due to DotA experience. Strength of champs changes all the time with patches and metagame shifts. There is no point in suggesting specific champs.
If you have a good reason to disagree with the above, please tell me. Thank you.

I think AD poppy with IEPDPDBT is the the future new old tryndamere melee carry.

I've been considering this, but poppy doesn't have the OP ad steroid or crit steroid that trondomere has.


But Poppy has the "youcan'tkillmeuntilIkillyourcarry" steroid, not to mention OP passive. The bigger issue is that laning would be very rough because Poppy has no sustain.


Toplane poppy starting with a Philo stone going AD carry with Trinity IE PD is not really new..
I used to play it a lot back a few month because people weren't so picky about toplane.

She basicly win the game no matter what sonce you have trinity ie et a bit of AS from zeal. And she run at like 600ms with W on. Ult the support and kill everyone during that. Way better than Tryn ult.

Oh Oddone, he thinks he gonna have a painful week to level up that account ^_^

getting accs lvled should be np for regi and rainman, solo lanes too stronk to carry. LB and say Trynd faceroll to 30


his gameplan for this game was: coz jungling without masteries/runes is pointless, take a solo lane to carry, but dunno why he ended up on sivir, anyway then he changed it to "just cs better, don't even need to be aggressive"

proceeds to get out CSed and killed by the enemy bot lane :-D tournament players too weak for low level accs!

It's like Saint and some others like HSGG complain that Solo Q much harder than real team games, low level acc play even harder than solo Q if you're tryharding there :D

Alistar is also free from Youtube I think.

You don't even need specific roles or to follow the meta at that level. If they have a jungler just go 5 man gank them at level 1 since no one bothers to protect.

Best way to carry in low level game: pick someone with CC, lane until you get a wriggles, take all the buffs on the map and gank the crap out of every other lane. Trying to outCS the other lane is like the worst strategy lol

And low level duo queue is even worse, you end up against level 30 teams with level 10 teammates.

Now that TSM is making it fashionable I was thinking about making a thread about how to carry really low level games using techniques that don't work at higher levels of play. Sneaky solo barons or lane freezing, that kind of thing... It would be very easy to say which champs are easier to do well with in these games because of how they work--for instance singed is one of the best. You farm all the lanes and can overextend like crazy because they can never kill you, this way none of your team can take the farm and you get absurdly rich very quickly. Teleport in to teamfights when your team gets stuck out of position, and you have so many items you can never die. Of course you can just play shyvanna or phoenix udyr and clear both jungles. The idea of rushing wriggles on everyone to get every buff is another good one I hadn't really thought of.

Going tryhard against a bunch of real noobs (like level 15 or whatever) actually requires more creative thought than you use in a real game. One thing I started doing was playing assassins so even if your team is too bad to win teamfights you just ward their entire side of the map and wait around to pick them off. Don't ever reveal yourself or cs after 20 minutes and they will just forget you exist. It's just like playing metal gear solid

Would there be interest in this kind of thread? Maybe someone else can make the op, I don't know what would go in it; I just know what I would post in it. the only problem is that now that TL is pretty popular it might make some people that are not smurfing try these techniques in order to win without actually being good. maybe it could be called something inconspicuous like "oddone memorial smurfing thread"

nah, you just want lane dominators and snowball champs. Cass is good, Akali, etc. Champs that need to AFK farm for awhile are gonna be bad. You can often get really early dragons for free. I think I used to do that all the time when I'd play fiddle or WW (at like level 4-5), since nobody wards. But yeah, take mid and just farm the other guy then go gank a sidelane.

I dunno, smurfing is pretty easy. Just gank the crap out of people. No one buys wards, and even if they call mia no one pays attention. And build survivability so you can 1v5, since everyone goes full glass cannon at that level, with the occasional full tank Mordekaiser or something.

also don't take teleport to help you team, take teleport so you can backdoor like hell. if they spot you pushing top while they're sieging mid, they won't know to fight 5v4 but usually split up and chase you.

TPing into the fights is really iffy, you rely on having your minions around the team fight because I can guarantee no one at that level is gonna carry wards or know to place one down for your TP :p

assassins is a good idea. Akali, talon, hard scaling melees like trynd will quickly get out of control if you invest in a few wards to make sure you don't go 1v5.
