We will present you the best pick or ban champions for every role in 10.18 patch.

Top Lane

Jax

His early game is really strong, especially against melee champions. E + Q combo can mitigate a lot of damage from minions if you start playing aggressive, while also dealing a lot of damage early on. His passive is also a great tool for stacking damage on 1 level so you can easily get a kill if you rely on it. If you try to play more carefully, you can wait for his powerspike on level 6, where his ultimate gives him a lot of damage with every 3rd strike and a lot of tankiness. After you scale to mid and late game, Jax’s carry potential becomes insane with his huge damage potential and sustainability. If you position yourself correctly in the teamfights you can easily destroy enemy team’s carries.

Urgot

He’s one of the underrated champions lately, but he still performs really well in both high and low elo. Because of his simple kit, you can easily pick him and learn how to play him in a few games. After completing Black Cleaver and Death’s Dance, Urgot starts to inflict huge amounts of damage and basically he can’t be killed. Teamfighting is simple with him, with your Q and E you can close the gap with enemy team. His W is a great source of damage combined with the Conqueror while his ultimate is a great finisher that can AOE fear the entire enemy team if you position yourself or flash into enemy team with it.

Jungle

Graves

Graves has a really fast jungle clear speed, because of his auto attacks and Q. He’s also a really good pick against heavy AD team compositions because of his passive that gives him armor. With Graves you need to powerfarm most of the time until his jungle item power spike. After that you can win almost any fight because you will be tanky and deal a ton of damage. With your E you can engage and disengage easily while ganking or in the teamfights. His R is a great AOE finisher but also a tool that can be used to escape dangerous situation. He can be unstoppable if the early game goes well and he gets a few kills with ganking or counter jungling.

Kayn

He’s really strong right now, fast jungle clear speed with his superior ganking potential. He is really flexible, he can go Red Kayn and be super tanky and be a nuisance in the teamfights. Secondly, he can go Blue Kayn and carry games by deleting enemy carries. Kayn can snowball pretty easily if he gets a few kills in the early game, you just need to be careful what kind of champion are you killing and what form do you want. Getting his form early will make your games extremely easy when you start to pick up some kills. Kayn will be unkillable bruiser that deals a ton of damage or an undetectable assassin that can destroy enemy carries.

Mid Lane

Ahri

The newest buffs helped Ahri a lot. W’s bonus movement speed makes her far more dangerous than before. She can easily maneuver during laning phase and in the teamfights because of her W and R. Also, her W helps her wave clear far easier than before because it deals extra damage to low health minions. Her early game is pretty weak until level 6 when she gets a power spike with her ultimate. Ahri can easily survive early game even against harder matchups because of her passive’s healing. She really gets strong in the mid to late game, where one good R + E can win you a teamfight or even a game. Ahri’s mobility and burst damage with her combo can easily save you in the hopeless situations.

Zed

He’s extremely strong in the current meta. He’s a great pick against teams that don’t have heavy CC that can stop him from doing his combos. Secondly, he’s a great split pusher that can easily contest enemy Inhibitors or Nexus because he can easily 1v1 or 1v2 most of the team compositions. Or he can just simply run away with W or with Youmuu’s Ghostblade and reapply pressure again and just completely disorganise  whole enemy team all by himself. Zed is really strong in the laning phase when he hits level 3 with his W+E+Q combo he can easily kill someone if all of the skills land on their target. Finally, he’s a great teamfighter that can easily flank enemy carries, ulting on them, killing them and then returning to the teamfight again.

Bot Lane

Caitlyn

Her oppressive laning with her long attack range makes her a really hard matchup for most bot lanes. When you get a few kills on her in the early game, she becomes unstoppable with her superior range and damage. While in the laning phase, you need to deny the enemy carry their farm so you can easily shut them down for the rest of the game. Because of her harassing playstyle, Caitlyn can easily control objectives and have easier vision control in the bottom lane. You just need to be careful with the vision while pushing the enemy bot lane, so you don’t get ganked. Finally, she’s really strong in contesting objectives by providing long range and high damage poke.

Ashe

Ashe has been really strong during this whole season. Her passive slow gives her a lot of advantages during fights, allowing her to chase or kite any opponent. Her Q and Lethal Tempo combo has a huge damage output. It can easily shred any enemy champion when it gets going. Ashe’s W makes her one of the most oppressive lane bullies in the game because it provides both wave clear and poke. E is a great scouting tool to check where the enemy jungler is or to check if someone is coming to gank you. Above all, her ultimate is a great engaging tool that can make picks and win you the game.

 

Support

Lux

She’s a strong counter to most meta supports and has a great synergy with current meta ADCS. Lux’s Q is a great catching tool that can easily secure kills. Secondly, it’s one of the better peeling skills in the game that can save any carry from danger. W’s AOE shield combined with Ardent gives your team a huge buff that can give you huge advantage over enemy team. Her E can be used to scout areas for enemy presence, after that it can be used as a peeling or harassing tool. Ultimate is a great finisher in the early game. Her combo with Q + E + R can easily give you advantage in the lane. In conclusion, she’s a great support with strong crowd control, shields and damage.

Blitzcrank

Blitzcrank can easily win games all by himself, hooking enemy carries in the late game. In the laning phase, you need to be careful how are you using your hook, one wrong move and you can easily lose your lane. Also you need to be careful that you won’t hook someone with heavy CC or a bruiser that can jump on your carries. He’s also a great roamer that can help other lanes or your jungler if your ADC can push the wave. With your W movement speed buff and E you can easily secure kills anywhere. Your ultimate is a great CC that can stop a lot of combos and engages, while also enabling your team.
