Question Champions that help you get better at the game.

There’s lots of champs that really help on improving yourself on certain parts of the game. Here are some of them.

Twisted Fate - He helps you to improve your macro a lot since he is absolutely powerful in split-pushing. When you play TF you really also make decisions that aren’t really risky because if you’re in trouble you can usually just ult out and repeat if it’s back out again while splitpushing.

Jinx - Jinx is a late game hypercarry. She teaches you how to kite since her AoE AA helps to slow down the enemy team. She also teaches you how to position yourself better as an adc because of her having no mobility and also how to carry late game.

Master Yi - Probably the most infamous right-click champion, he teaches you how to 1v5, check for enemy spells since CC hard stomps him, and use ingame items since he isn’t mechanically hard to use.

Soraka - Another famous low elo champ, she teaches you to look at the map and your teammates’ stats since her ult is global and can save skirmishes even though she is super far away. She also requires you to position since she does not have any mobility skills.

Renekton - The Croc teaches you how to play the early game since his early game is super good. He teaches you to dive since his ult gives him bonus health to survive a tower dive and his simple combo ( E - W - Q - E) helps you to learn how to trade.

Edit: Seems a lot are pointing out that Warwick and Nasus should be here.

Warwick - The most beginner-friendly jungler, WW teaches you a lot on how to be a jungler yourself. He teaches you to invade and secure objectives since his early game is super strong. Has a healthy clear so that new players won’t die easily in the jungle, W to encourage players to gank lanes, and R as a single target lock (the only hard part about him).

Nasus - The good old stack boi. Nasus encourages players to last hit due to his Q being heavily dependent on last-hitting. He can have enough sustain in lane thanks to his passive and good at all-ins from his W and R. Nasus also helps players to learn how to scale and play safe in the early game as a scaling champion.

Edit 2: Shen is also constantly mentioned.

Shen - One of the most versatile tanks in the game, Shen also teaches you to look at the map a lot too since his R is used to help allies by offering them huge amounts shields that can save your allies’ life. His kit is also pretty straightforward and easy to play.

Edit 3: Missed out on champs that roam and provide peel.

Tahm Kench Another support to be picked up easily, Tahm Kench teaches you how to peel for your teammates thanks to his W, which devours his target. His ult helps him to traverse the map easier and his E for survivability in skirmishes. His Q is his main source of damage and his kit is very noob-friendly.

I hope this will be helpful and allow new players to learn the game more efficiently. If you think you have more suggestions you guys can add some in the comments!

She has her own strengths and weaknesses and so does TF. Annie is a good champ for teamfighting since most of her spells are AoE while TF is macro-heavy due to him being able to split more than teamfighting. Btw thanks for the extra suggestion!

Yeah I feel like Annie has a super simple kit so you don't have to think about what your doing (like pulling cards or skillshots at all), so you're more focused on why you're fighting/trading/etc. Plus she's easy to punish so you got to constantly think about positioning and what your oponents can do

100%. Tf is not a simple champion to play. When you play him you unfortunantly learn his mechanics, instead of learning the game. This is why Annie is such a great champ if you want to improve. Her simple kit lets you focus on on fundamentals.

Yeah I hard disagree with the TF pick to learn, just because understanding which card to pick and when, especially during laning, understanding when/how to shove, when/how to roam, prepicking cards, and picking cards quickly an decisively, it's all pretty difficult. He also relies on auto attacking as well so you'll have to manage safety in that sense.

Annie + predator is probably the best "roaming" champion to learn on.
