I mostly play with Janna, Zil and now Brand.

It never hurts to have a good roster of support characters under your belt. I mostly stick to Sona myself, but I've played and done okay with Soraka and Janna. Janna's goddamn amazing, though. Just period. Crazy good.

And Brand's cool, but I just can't really get into how he plays myself, sadly.

I love Janna. It was actually the first character I played, but luckily Janna is one of those characters that always stays good and mostly balanced through the patches and is still helluva fun to play.

Sona is pretty cool too but sometimes I get tired of her VERY passive style of play. You're practically a buff generator with only one worthwhile (but very, very good) stun.

I like Brand's playstyle A LOT. I usually have a defensive playstyle (which comes from my support background) and having a passive that does true damage on every action allows me to hurt my enemy in small stacks and pound him hard when I think it's the time. Plus, Brand excells at team fights. His AOE damage on team fights is absolutely awesome and can really turn the tide on a fight.

With Teemo I also play defensively, hurting the enemy little by little while in laning phase, however Teemo tends to be pretty useless late game (except against melee carries). But I love how people get pissed off getting killed by all the mushrooms I lay down all over the map :D.

Yeah, Sona's extremely passive in the late game but if you focused on Hymn of Valor early on she's a semi-effective harrasser early on, especially if you one-two HoV with Power Chord. It's less effective later on, and by that point you're using your Power Chord to Slow or weaken enemies instead.

But Janna's shield is just... oh jeez. So damn good.

And goddamn those Teemo mushrooms. ....But I do enjoy stepping on them as Mordekaiser with a shield up so I can just kinda laugh that they didn't do anything to me. XD

My jungle Mordekaiser, 100% win. People always ask, are you troll? Then I just say no. Win, every time.

It's fun, you should try it, if you play Morde.

[BardicKnowledge]

I just downloaded LoL and am eager to learn stuff! It seems a little more casual than HoN, which is good.

In any case, which (if any) of the cheap heroes should I be unlocking?

[Garian]

450 IP: Nunu (AP/Tank that can jungle very well), Ryze (machine gun caster that builds all of the mana items, making him very durable), Ashe (Ranged DPS that can kite better than nearly everyone)
1350 IP: Morganna (Strong support/caster-carry hybrid), Annie (Facerolls QWER for 9001 damage), Janna (Has a shield+steroid that synergizes so well with laning with powerful melee DPS champs), Tryndamere (One of the hardest carries in LoL, melee DPS with a 5 second ignore death ult)

Also be sure to like LoL on Facebook to get Tristana for free with the Riot Girl skin ^_____________^ She's my favourite ranged dps in the game right now even though she's not the strongest.

My advice would be to play with all of the free champs, see who you like and try to build your champ collection up based on that. Around summoner level 10 you might want to focus on building a rune page with level 1 runes for the characters you enjoy playing to keep up with other players. The best bet with runes is to use level 1s until you can afford to replace them with level 3s because the ROI is greatest at level 1.

Another note, Nunu is going to be nerfed in the next patch, but I don't know how yet. He's kinda silly powerful right now though so I kinda expected it. One of my biggest gripes is how Riot tries to manipulate the metagame of LoL by affecting it with every patch. Currently the beefy DPS champs have been very powerful, and they really have been ever since the AOE meta from last autumn fell out of favor.

i usually take the top solo as mordekaiser, but i can see how jungling with him would work.

[Derceto]

I play under the username Derceto. Feel free to friend me, been playing since the beta, over 900 wins. I'm happy to play with any of you, regardless of skill, I'm much more concerned about playing with cool people who are nothing like the 80% of the LoL community that are douchebags than I am with winning. If you're the type that rags on team mates when they have a bad game don't bother. And I play anything AP, though my best are probably as follows

Anivia
Janna
Heimerdinger
Cassiopeia

though I also play a mean:
Ap Cho, Ap Kogmaw, Ap Gragas, Karthus, Orianna and Tankrawka

I've never actually tried a Junglekaiser run. How would that work in terms of Masteries, item build, and the like?

I'm just used to laning and pushing with Morde, either solo or with a partner.
