League Of Legends: 10 Best Champions For Beginners
Are you a newcomer to League Of Legends and don’t know where to start? Here are the best champions to learn basic game mechanics.
With a continuous stream of new picks entering the Champion pool, the Meta is constantly evolving, and sometimes beingignored altogether.
Botlane requires additional thought when selecting your Champion, because you need to not only think about what will counter your opponent, but also how you willsynergize with your laning partner.
We’ll take a look at 10 powerfulADCandSupportcombinations inLeague of Legendsthat will give you an edge over the competition.
10Lucian & Nami
The Double-Buff Duo
Lucian and Nami share a deceptively strong synergy. After using an ability, Lucian’s Passive, Lightslinger, turns his next attack into a double-shot.
If he has been healed or shielded, or if a nearby opponent has been immobilized, Lucian’s next two basic attacks will also dealadditional magic damage.
Nami’s kit is perfectly tailored to make the most of Lucian’s passive. Her Tidecaller’s Blessing ability empowers Lucian’s attacks with more damage, while her Ebb and Flow ability can be used to heal andactivate Lightslinger.
Not only do their abilities synergize well, but the combination of movement, crowd-control, and sustain is why this duo stands the test of time.
9Kog Maw & Lulu
The Void Spawn and His Yordle
The strength of this Kog Maw andYordleduo lies in Lulu’s ability to keep Kog Maw alive in the early-game, so that he can shred his opponents after laning phase.
Kog Maw lacks durability and isn’t a very mobile champion, and this is why Lulu makes such a great partner.
Soak up damage during trades using the shield of Lulu’s Help, Pix! Ability, while simultaneously adding damage to Kog Maw’s attacks. Enemies caught lunging towards you can be polymorphed so Kog Maw can keep hisfocus on farming.
With the added survivability and trade potential that Lulu brings to the table, Kog Maw becomes a force to be reckoned with.
8Jhin & Morgana
We’d Prefer It If You Didn’t Move
Jhin and Morgana are a powerhouse duo that control their lane with crowd-control.
The key to winning your lane with this combo is stacking Morgana’s Q, with Jhin’s W to lock your opposition in place andcreate opportunities for Jhin to land his fourth shot.
Morgana’s Black Shield is the perfect tool to make up for Jhin’s lack of mobility, and allows him to get in range without being susceptible to CC. This shield is a support’s worst nightmare.
If Jhin is successfully shielded from an ability that would have crowd-controlled him, you automatically have ahuge advantagein the fight.
7Draven & Pyke
The Nightmare On Bot Lane
This high-damage pair can quickly overwhelm their opponents withaggressive combat and high mobility.Pyke’s hook and stun combo is an incredibly strong engage, and Draven’s kit allows him to take full advantage.
Draven’s Stand Aside ability is a great way to keep your foes trapped in the fight once they try to escape. Stand Aside deals physical damage but also knocks the target to the side and slows them.
If used in succession with Pyke’s hook and stun, Draven will have plenty of time to dish out damage.
Pyke’s W, Ghostwater Dive, allows him to roam the map andimpact other lanes massively.Camouflaging himself and gaining significant movement speed, Pyke can bolt towards mid-lane, or the enemy jungle to help allies secure a kill.
6Janna & Smolder
The Dragon’s Guardian
Get your stacks and stack up the wins!The name of the game with this botlane is to exploit Janna’s phenomenal protective prowess and keep Smolder focused on powering up.
Smolder’s passive ability, Dragon Practice, requires you to kill enemies with his Q, or hit enemy champions with abilities in order to gain stacks.

Getting one shot by a wind fairy zooming around at Mach 10 sounds fun.
The more stacks you acquire,the more damage your basic abilities will do.This is why Smolder is fairly weak early-on, but thrives late in the game.
Janna’s ultimate has the potential to instantly turn the tide of a losing team-fight. It is one of the most effective ways to disengage and protect your teammates, and will allow Smolder the opportunity to reposition, heal, and deal massive AOE damage.
5Zeri & Yuumi
The Cat Strikes Again
Zeri and Yuumi have a great synergy, utilizing movement speed and sustain, which makes them a dominant force in teamfights.
To be successful with this bot lane, you’ll need to be aware that Zeri isweak during laning phase,so be patient and stay focused on farming.
With Zeri’s ability to ignore terrain, and multiple movement speed buffs, the mobility andlate-gamedamage of this duo becomes hard for teams to handle.
Immortal Shieldbow is a great item for Zerito add an extra layer of protection during teamfights, and Yuumi’s ultimate adds tremendous value to your team’s overall composition.
4Miss Fortune & Leona
Press R To Win
When it comes to wombo-combos, Miss Fortune and Leona know how it’s done. When teamfights arise, perfectly placed ultimates will devastate your enemies.
Leona’s ultimate, Solar Flare, will lock your targets in place, while Miss Fortunes' ultimate, Bullet Time, deals massive damage with a large area of effect.
Always be aware of objective timers.Being in a position to contest Drake, Voidgrubs, Herald, or Baron, is the best way to ensure your path to victory. If you’re able to land the Bullet Time/Solar Flare wombo and secure the objective, it will change the momentum of the game drastically.
Have patience and wait for the right opportunity to land your combo, utilize Leona’s elite crowd-control kit topeel for your carries,and let the climb begin.
3Ashe & Seraphine
Poke Damage Frenzy
If you like the idea of frustrating your opponents withoverwhelming poke damage and slowing abilities,Ashe and Seraphine could be your next pick.
Use Seraphine’s Beat Drop ability, in combination with Ashe’s Volley, to damage and slow your enemies and get the upper-hand during laning phase.
This combination will keep the opposition right where you want them. Control the lane with long-range CC, and take advantage of Seraphine’s healing to stay safe while farming.
When you get to level 6, this combo’s kill potential greatly increases. A well-placed Ashe ultimate will stun an enemy from a safe distance and allow Seraphine to get in range to land her CC abilities.
2Corki & Nautilus
Lane Domination
Corki and Nautilus are a great choice if you’re looking to press the action during the laning phase. These two come equipped withgreat CC, high early-game damage, and AOE abilities.
Allow Nautilus to engage using his hook, soak up some damage with his shield, and give Corki the opportunity to attack. Rinse and repeat until the enemy duo is hugging the tower in fear.
Corki does especially well against shorter-range ADC’s which areforced to come into range of his Gatling Gunin order to attack.
1Caitlyn & Milio
Sharpshooting From The Base
If you thought Caitlyn’s range was OP on its own, you were right, but it gets even better. This combo terrorizes botlane with enchantments, sustain, and CC.
Cait boasts thehighest range as an ADC,and with Milio’s Cozy Campfire ability, whichfurther increases your allies' range,you can stay on the outside and chip away at your opponents.
Milio’s Ultra Mega Fire Kick ability knocks back the target and slows them, which sets up a great opportunity for Cait to lay a trap down and maximize your damage.
Range and sustain during lane is your key to victory with Cait and Milio.
