So my friends want me to learn the rest of the roles in the game. I can play top and mid semi decently for my level of playing, and I can kinda support. I figured I'd try ADC next (gonna take a lot of self motivation before I tackle Jungle), so who would you guys recommend as an ADC to start with? One of my friends told me to try Sivir, so I was thinking about buying her.

I prefer explaining the choices rather than directly reccomending anything in particular. Everyone plays diffrently, for example I mainly play Quinn or Varus when I ADC. So heres a breakdown of the various ADC's soyou can make your own choice:

Sivir is a good jack of all trades ADC. She does everything well, but only pushes lanes particularly well.

If you want to bully enemy ADC's into sumbitting to your awesomeness Dravens the best.

As far as the current meta goes Graves is the best, hes tanky enough to dive into a fight with your allies and blow them up.

Ashe is arguably the worst ADC damage wise, but her abiltiy to chain cc along with a support is deadly enough to make up for it.

Varus: Ashe but way better, lacking in the global ultimate though.

Giving in to your inner psychopath and rampage through enemies as Jinx with her amazing damage and kiting.

Caitlyn if you want to pick off enemies from afar, shes definatly the safest choice as an ADC.

Kalista is a great choice if you just want to dive head first into higher level adc mechanics, shes a bit more difficult to master but when you do your a better ADC for it.

To pick off specific enemies and setting up combos, Tristana is a great choice.

For out-trading enemy adcs and harassing enemies, Corki is the best (as well as being the main reason Taric is at all relevant in LoL)

Im not really qualified to talk about Lucian, as im biased against him due to his lack of cc, but hes generally a solid pick.

Miss Fortune is the worst ADC in league right now, she actually does better as a mage currently than as an ADC, cant recommend in good conscience.

If you feel confident in your ability to outplay your opponent you can pick up Ezreal, though if you lose you can be shutdown hard.

In the opposite corner is kogmaw, win or lose lane late game your going to own face, but your enemy might be strong as well.

Vayne is a good choice for combating tanks, so in the current meta shes been seeing lots of success. She can also go top lane.

Another good pick for fighting top lane or as ADC is Quinn, shes super mobile and plays sort of off from most ADCs in the same sort of void Teemo does.

Speaking of Satan Teemo he can adc. its a thing. please dont.

Twitch is a really fun adc, and with his buffs last patch is now one of the best objective takers.

Teemo support is vastly superior to teemo adc. He gets countered by bodaciously everyone but he's still hilarious.

In other news, Mark/Dash is crazy OP in arams, but i like what it's done for the meta. squishy long range poke mages are no longer untouchable by melees. I fully expect it to be nerfed with a longer cooldown though, right now its eay too spammable.

I will say though, arams are more crazy than ever and i love it.

Dang, thanks for the list. Corki sounds like fun, I'll probably give him a try. Vayne also sounds pretty good.

just had a game where we won by a landslide 42 to 3
to my shame I didnt really pay attention to how my teammates where doing, i figured everything was fine since I wasnt hearing "an ally was slain" and when I ganked for our veigar mid after my carry backed and we secured the kill easily I figured he was doing well.

Turns out the rest of my team had a combined score of 2/2/5 while my Varus went 39/0/2 and I went 1/1/33

oops :oops:

Got to have a couple reminders why I love Lux today, which is rare considering how unlikely it is for three people not to swamp mid lane in the first two seconds of champ select. There's no other feeling quite like "Oh, your squishy strayed juuust a little too far forward? Well now he's snared, and now he's dead."

I had a hilarious match as Pantheon against a Riven yesterday... I say it was against a Riven but really I just killed her a few times and then roamed the entire map like 10 minutes in. It wasn't long before I got a kill at top, jungle, mid, and bot. Jungle was easy... their jungler was blitzcrank. Jungle blitzcrank is nowhere near legit.
It was barely any time at all before Riven was just terrified of me. The highlight of the match was when I chased her into baron pit where she thought she could use her abilities to jump over the wall, and I just stood still at the entrance of the pit where I casually watched her repeatedly fail to get over the wall until she finally decided to just flash. If only she had failed that too... I would have had utter gold to send to some kind of League fails thing.
Speaking of League fails I had it recorded on LoLreplay but for whatever reason I keep getting errors trying to watch it and nothing I'm doing is fixing it. So. Goddamnit.

So what are your guys' thoughts on Ekko so far? I think his abilities seem pretty neat. I think he's going to end up being a little OP once people learn how to use him though.

Ekko looks cool, I like his ult as a snowball tactic, and his 3 hits = speed and slow is easily one of the best passives I could use.

I feel he is pretty good, though his ap ratio on his ult is probably going to be dropped to a 1.0 ratio from his current 1.3
