Dont quote me on this but I think the metagame is more healer+jungler+carry centric.

That being said, Shen is still really incredible, and a top pick imo.

Just because he's currently the best tank doesn't mean he's a must pick imo. Amumu, Alistar, Nasus who can all tank and do almost as good of a job as him. There are champions that still out wiegh him as a FP or FB imo hence his tier 2 status. He's really great, just not a must ban or a FP imo.

Kennen is a really bad champion. He has to play like a tank to deal damage yet he's so squishy. If you build him tank you deal no damage and the superior ways to build him are AP/Attack speed but then you're squishy. His stuns are pretty crappy and his ulti is just god awful. Fun champ to play but not viable in a competitive game imo.

Akali is pretty good from what I've seen so far. If you get buff with her you absolutely CRUSH squishies and thats awesome. She is really played like a true ninja too and I like that about her. She really depends on her early game I find. If it goes well she will do well. If it doesn't she's nothign to worry about. I think she will be viable in competitive play I just need to see more of her before I add her into the list.

Elementz, why is Veigar not on the tier list? In non-blind pick, you can easily counter spell users with him. He also has aoe CC.

Furthermore, with Riyali's (first item I get), he has a dependable ranged slow and can aid in retreats with well placed AOE slow dark matters. He also has some of the best burst spell DPS after Ryze and Annie.

He's useless is why. He has ONE chance to use his combo correctly on someone and if they have merc treads you won't get it off most likely. Then you wait 15+ seconds until you can really do anything again. I really like Veigar a lot but he's just not good at all. Every other caster is better then him in almost every single way.

A little off topic, but out of Panth, Akali, or Garen, which would you recommend to pick up and still remain competitive?

I'm looking for a new champ to play and I'm trying to narrow it down between these 3. Panth seems like a lot of fun, but you hear so many horror stories.

I try to think "X champ blows" posts with a grain of salt. For a while I read how badly Gragas sucked. I purchased him, tried something different with him and loved it. Now he's becoming main stream.

Garen seems fun, but I can't seem to build him worth a snot. Akali seems even more fun, but I question her value in group fights. As for Panth, I hardly ever see him to make a judgment call.


Oh,and one more thing, why is Udyr up so high?

Thanks a lot in advance. Despite whatever haters say, the community appreciates posts like this from people who even remotely know what they are talking about.

At the very least Akali has a very effective AOE slow with her W. It is spammable at higher levels and can really help your team if cast on opposing carries. From what I've seen from Akali though, playstyle is huge. Some will be great teammates, others will play like Eve.
