Simple question: which are the four "best" 3150 IP champions?
I have 12k IP saved up, and I've already got most of the 1350s that I want, but none of the more expensive champs (edit: apart from Anivia, I almost forgot). In theory I want to have a diverse roster with several options for each role.
So far I'm thinking Shen and Karthus, along with either Blitzcrank or Sona. So that's three..
Using my mastery over the internet to remember who the hell were the 3150 champions, here is my personal thoughts on the matter, and I'll even include free Dominion advice since it's all I'm talking about anyway.
SUMMONERS RIFT
SUPPORT :
Sona - for more poke-oriented traditional support
Blitz - for aggressive newfangled "haha screw you" style support
AD CARRY :
Corki - one of the top 3 carries, along with Ezreal and Graves. You don't see anything else in tournaments from US and EU teams, basically.
AP MID:
Karthus : best choice, good ult to get assists and turn tides in general.
Gragas : Also incredible, but his ult can and will save enemies until you master it, which might cause raeg to ensue. Apart from that, he is cool.
Anivia : Good, I guess. I don't like her balls-short range, though.
Mordekaiser : fun, but more viable low-elo where people are still kind of insecure about dealing with him.
Akali/Katarina/LeBlanc - Feast or famine, generally fall behind lategame except katarina, but CC fucks her shit up.
Kassadin: <3 Kass. Used to be banned a lot even though he is kind of difficult to get through the laning phase with, since he's melee. If he gets to lategame, well. Guess the enemies could hypothetically have better luck next game.
TOP:
Olaf : Great top in general, really good at short engages since true damage.
Shen : Incredible ult, safe, mobile, no mana, almost always banned.
Udyr : Enemy top? What enemy top? I'm just here to farm.
Pantheon : go agressive hard on the enemy and hope you win by 20 minutes. It's really not as unlikely as it sounds.
Nidalee : go tanky ad, ignore pure ap builds because you'll end up in catform in the enemy team anyway, might as well survive a bit.
Gangplank : I love the plank, and it seems you can go tanky +goldperfive items, google Bankplank, but I'm not sure he's the most competitive pick, because I almost never see him.
COUNTERCARRY:
Urgot : He starts off as a carry, and transforms lategame into a sort of tanky bruiser-initiator. His range got hit and I don't think they reverted it, so he could be not as good as he once was.
DOMINION :
Kassadin > Blitzcrank > Urgot = Pantheon > Tanky Gangplank > Karma = Lux END OF STORY.
