I recently got gifted 3k RP so I can afford one of the HEARTSTEEL bundles, and I might drop a little more to get Kayn, but I’m not to sure who would be best to pick? I would be learning them regardless so I’m not too worried about the skill ceiling, but I am having a hard time understanding strengths of each character based on a simple google search.
I’m comfortable with most roles in pvp games but lean towards back line as I’m not to keen on carrying/being the main power of the team but will if necessary.
Mostly have been eyeing Ezreal, Yone, Aphelios, or Kayn. Ignoring win rates (I’ve seen how popular Kayn is), who would be a good choice?
This is ignoring my preference on skins, I just need tips from people who actually know and understand were these characters belong in game play. Thank you!
K’sante is a Frontline tank, he basically soaks up damage but in his current state he deals a ton too, he’s full of dashes and disposition
Yone is a close range duelist, good dps and rather safe but that safety tool can also mess you up if you use it wrong
Aphelios is an ADC (Attack Damage Carry), backline carry, probably the hardest adc to understand, you’d need to read whole pages of text to even understand his combos and I’d suggest not touching him
Ezreal is also an ADC, another backline carry, but this one relies on skillshots, you have to be really good at hitting abilities to make proper use of him
Kayn is a weird case, he has 2 forms that you get by hitting either ranged champions or melee champions, ranged champions charge up Blue version, which is a fast assassin, while melees charge up Red version, which is a self healing monster, all of the forms including base one have AoE attacks and can travel through walls, with the Ult letting them go inside someone that they’ve hit, with Red having more healing and crowd control, while Blue having more mobility and damage.
All in all, these champions are all pretty bad for beginners I’d say, but you should really focus on learning a single role, since that’s the only real way to improve at this game consistently, due to major differences between each role, none of them are supportive backliners, then neither of them fit the role.
