I wouldn't really say Oriannas ult is noob-friendly

I wasn't implying that Ori is easy for beginners, but I would say that learning Ori is very beneficial to newcomers.

Shockwave isn't forgiving but it is a game changer, and you have to understand how to use it. You have relative safety with your shield and your speed. Your ball mechanic has synergy with a lot of different champions and you can learn how to coordinate your stuff with theirs. You still have basic burst combos to learn. Your autoattacks do decent damage so you have to learn how to fit those in with decent spacing. She has good farming capability and she has decent roaming.

If Annie and Ryze are great Day 1 champs, then Ori is probably a great Day 15 champ.

Laser alone is hard enough to work for most people learning/playing him. Need to know where to cast it, and then angle it in the right direction to hit someone/reveal an area.

I would never, ever recommend TF/Ori to someone who's played the game for 2 weeks. That's when you move on to the Viktor and Ziggs mentioned above since they require you to understand proper positioning of all your abilities relative to what the other guy can do, and both of them have trickier control of their skillshot pokes than "shoot it in a direction from your character and hope it hits".

TF and Ori rely on heavy zone control, heavy positioning requirements while using skills that require your constant input, and your team to understand what you can do. They are by hard some of the hardest mids to learn.

For newbies i'd recommend Lee sin mid. He's so easy to play, every new player can learn him in a matter of hours.

Viktor: Very similar to Annie, yes. However, not nearly as forgiving on mana. Laser isn't easy. Much less consistent CC. Chaos Storm doesn't last as long and can't tank shots for you. He's also generally more squishy.

Ziggs: All skillshots, unforgiving to miss anything because of CDs. Mana intensive, not a whole lot of CC, escape is hard to learn and use effectively. Very squishy, hard to roam with. If he gets locked down, he's dead.

And the slight buff to her Q explosion radius makes farming soooooo much more intuitive. Before it was very frustrating. It's still super annoying when a stray melee minion wanders in front of you just as you Q for the kill though.

Karthus is easy since you can focus completely on CSing and still not 'lose out'. Of course, being able to go ham and land W into multiple Qs is pretty sick, but you can get by without that just fine. Also, if you go Revive/Teleport like I do you can feed like crazy and still be a beast (;

*cough*

No.

But Viktor is a different beast than most champs. It takes a while to figure out his power curves. Believe me, he's not a champ I would throw at someone and say "go learn to play mid"


And no, I always feel Ziggs dies especially fast. His Q has a 4 sec CD, sure. But his WER are all very unforgiving if you miss.

A champ like Annie does not die quickly by any means (molten armor + RoA)

Well no as in I think any player should be able to hit it easily and I don't understand what is so hard.I know you are THE viktor player on tl :D.

No disrespect kind sir.

You don't let new ADCs start out with Draven. Likewise you don't let new mid players start with champs that require you to spend most of your attention figuring out how to get your abilities to work properly.

Lol, no disrespect taken.

But think about how many times people miss Rumble ults. Now make that your chief DPS spell, and think about how awful it feels to miss that shit.

Sure, have someone play 10 straight games as Viktor, and they figure it out and miss a hell of a lot less. But after 300+ ranked Viktor games, I STILL miss E sometimes.

It's one of those, "why do this when there is something so much easier?" things

ziggs simple?

uhhhh, wtf?

Like seriously he is one of the hardest AP's in LoL. He's 100% skillshot with extremely tricky to use escape/mobility and an extremely unforgiving positional minefield where if you use either of his two utility skills improperly in a situation you are completely fucked. He's also extremely reliant on his AA passive to be played decently, which requires even more positional skill and game knowledge to know when you can use safely. Maybe he looks simple if you just play him like hur dur throw da bombs, but you will get shit on against anyone past bronze. Ziggs took me like 20 games to get to the point where I felt acceptable on him, and like all I play is skillshotty mids which I can usually pick up in like 3 games, he's really really hard.
In Hungry Hungry Hippos there are no such constraints—one can constantly attempt to collect marbles with one’s hippo, limited only by one’s hippo-levering capabilities.

Even his freaking Q, his "simplest" and most straightforward ability, takes a while to get used to in speed and distance based on where you aim it.

Y'know, Ziggs might be my next project. I've always loved him, but I'm soooooooo bad at him.

i think zigg's poke potential counteracts alot of the difficulty in his W/E. WITH mana regen (because god if he isnt the most mana hungry champ in the game i dont want to know who is) he can spam it every 4 seconds at incredible range if theres nothing blocking it and clear extremely quickly with it too :3

I dont find his escape to be all that difficult really, more complicated then everyone else though.

Minefield is a complete cunt, but useful for escapes :3
Useless wet fish.
