So when I first started playing i pretty quickly discovered I was best suited to playing AP, primarily with Morgana and Veigar, I got bored with those guys, so i decided to give Ashe a run and discovered i kind of liked running Ranged AD.

So there are now 2 things i am looking for.

1) Another Ap Champ w/ ideal starting build
2 Any Ranged Ad Champ.

All suggestions Appreciated

I like Sivir for Ranged AD. Always nice to see that boomerang take off more than half a health bar of a few enemy team members during mid game.

Karthus is a decent AP champ although, he gets banned in draft sometimes due to his global ult.
I like starting off with the mana regen item plus some hp pots & maybe a ward. First time back, I usually make tear, hp pots, another ward, and boots @ 350 gold for more mobility if I have the gold. Second time back, I'll usually complete AP boots, + ward, + start on the hat. Note that if the fight is going bad early on/I am doing horrible against my enemy lane mate, I will buy more low level items in favor of completing the tear/boots for a more immediate boost in stats. Then later in the game, I'll finish those items out.

The rest of the time back is situational. I'll always buy ward(s). If the fight is going good, more AP items. If the fight is going bad I'm getting either a magic resist or armor item depending on who I'm fighting mid/how enemy team is built.

As for abilities, I save my first ability pick for what happens in jungle. If enemy invades jungle, I'll get 1st level of W to give my teammates time to flee or to position themselves to get a kill. If they do not invade, I'll get Q for harass in mid lane. level's 2/3, I'll get the other two abilities left from Q, W, E. Level 4+, I max q for more harass, then E for some fun farming, kiting, then W last. Train up ult whenever possible. Make sure to request your teammates ping/ask for your ult whenever they have a low health enemy.

Based on what you said as far as "best suited to playing AP" I bet you'd really enjoy the ADCs that function a lot like spell casters.

Corki will give you the most bang for your buck! Ezreal and Graves are staple carries at all elos. Maybe even Urgot if you're interested in something less conventional.

Here is something if you want to troll/surprise the enemy.
AP Mid Lulu
A few reasons why she is viable.
1) She isn't seen very often so it's a little hard do know how to shut her down.
2) You are immune to ganks with your W and Q as well as your E
3) You are also pretty much immune to 1 champion tower diving you when you hit level 6 and get your ult
4) She's just fun to play as

Thanks for the input,
-goomba-I tried urgot with limited success after your suggestions, i did run Ezreal backwhen i first started and didnt do great but thats likely because i was no good then. ill remember graves if he comes around in the frees.
-jlmoss- I was kinda interested in him when i was taking a look. Illkeep him in minf
-dehunter-thats what i have heard from a few others, she was oneiwas kind of thinking too.

I second trying Lulu. She's extremely fun to use, and even if you end up not getting too many kills (happens all the time, even as an AD Carry. Depends on how good your team is, and your skill level with the ADC you're using), Lulu brings so much utility into the game that your team has a high chance to win in a teamfight, and not lose many teammates in the process. Her R is extremely fun to use, since it knocks up opponents, helping others (or you) to kill the knocked up champion(s). And using R on the initiator of your team against the enemy team can completely change the game around, and help you win the teamfights, even if your team is at a disadvantage. It all depends on the timing and on which champion.

I consider myself as a Lulu main (mostly support, but I'll play the occasional toplane on-hit or AS/AP), so I can attest that playing Lulu is a lot of fun ^.^
