<\/figure>\n

This isn’t the first article to be written about the difficulty of play for League of Legends<\/a><\/em> champions and it most certainly won’t be the last. Besides there being a lot of passionate researchers within the community, the deep pool of champions in the game means there will be less consensus compared to other MOBAs with smaller selections. And it doesn’t help that virtually every list is deeply divided from other lists and usually generates a good amount of hostility in the comments sections.<\/p>\n

So why write another list? Simply, this list hasn’t been written before. Most players come at this from a very high-tier perspective and wonder who the hardest champions are to play based on their experiences of bringing certain characters into bruising arenas. But for new players, the question isn’t what champions have the hardest time climbing the ranks, but rather what champions are the toughest to even competently function with?<\/p>\n

10 <\/span>Thresh<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Nothing comes easy for poor Thresh. Everybody is used to making rookie errors when they first play the game<\/a>, but Thresh is a champion that makes every\u00a0action that much harder. All of his moves require skill to land and activate.<\/p>\n

Additionally, his mana pool is very small and he’s expected to support instead of farming for necessary items. By the time the late game comes around and he’s finally geared up, group fighting is prevalent. Picking off stragglers is his specialty, so these moments become rarer with each tick of the clock.<\/p>\n

9 <\/span>Rumble<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Ever since his inception, Rumble has been a poster child for the worst win rate in the game. Veterans insist that he can be good and, at times, they are able to execute on that promise. He shows some anti-tank capability that is hotly desired.<\/p>\n

But pulling off the necessary\u00a0maneuvers is tough as he needs to become a tank himself. Patches have nerfed his ability to stay in lane. A Braum that knows what he’s doing<\/a> will often outpace Rumble despite his potential to counter.<\/p>\n

8 <\/span>Vayne<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Vayne is often compared to Draven when it comes to tough heroes to play, but ultimately she gets the edge. A solid Draven player<\/a> can learn to time his moves, whereas Vayne’s biggest obstacles are a permanent feature of the character.<\/p>\n

Vayne is unquestionably one of the best ADC champs if she gets everything she needs farmed early. But her short range and slow attack essentially give a head start to other carries and so she’ll often never be able to catch up.<\/p>\n

7 <\/span>Akali<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Akali is expected to solo either the top or the mid lane, so automatically she becomes a tough hero to play for a beginner as she’s essentially trying to win a duel. But that’s only the beginning of her troubles.<\/p>\n

It’s one thing to win one-on-one and it’s quite another to be getting ganked constantly. Akali is prone to the jungler coming out and getting an easy kill against her. People will participate in the Lunar Festival to try and win great rewards<\/a>, but no prize there will overcome this flaw.<\/p>\n

6 <\/span>Lee Sin<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Lee Sin has the ability to\u00a0instantly blow up enemy players in the mid to late game. The cost? He’s designed to be a glass cannon. This leads to a need to balance survivability and damage that the community still hasn’t figured out how to perfect.<\/p>\n

By buying items that toughen him up, he\u00a0will lose just enough damage to where enemy champions can survive Lee Sin’s burst. Conversely, without these items, he becomes an easy person to disable and kill when it comes to group fighting. Hopefully, his hero is one that gets a small rework when\u00a0Wild Rift<\/em> debuts their champions<\/a>.<\/p>\n

5 <\/span>Yasuo<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The middle lane is where the cutthroats live and Yasuo is expected to hold his own. His damage is fantastic, but he’s easily harassed against other mid-laners with nukes or range. After he gets some lifesteal, he’s in real business.<\/p>\n

Even though he’s fantastic in a team fight, his moves are tough to pull off and a small mistake sets him up for early death by crowd control. After Udyr got a rework<\/a>, many fans have been hoping that Yasuo will be simplified next.<\/p>\n

4 <\/span>Nidalee<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Often\u00a0junglers have the easiest job in all of League of Legends<\/em> and that rule\u00a0holds\u00a0true for Nidalee. Her moves are complicated and difficult to pull off, but against NPCs and stagnant creatures, it’s easy to get a consistent rotation going on.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, enemy champions are not NPCs, meaning their unpredictable movements and actions really mess up her combos. Her low health pool all but assure that she’ll be hearing Viego smack talk<\/a>\u00a0to her and her team while players are learning the ropes with Nidalee.<\/p>\n

3 <\/span>Orianna<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Perhaps no champion has a higher skill cap than Orianna. This is great news for those who are persistent because learning to master her abilities and positioning will be rewarded with lots of wins and huge accolades from teammates.<\/p>\n

Her biggest problem is that her move set demands that she be close to enemies and stay close to enemies. When the champion has to do this to be any good, there are bound to be a bunch of free kills. Amateur players will frequently be accused of feeding when trying their hardest just to keep up.<\/p>\n

2 <\/span>Gangplank<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The “jack of all trades and master of none” phrase fits Gangplank like a tailored suit. He does a little bit of everything between split pushing, lane support, ganking, and global aid. There isn’t one aspect that he does better than anybody else, though.<\/p>\n

Capitalizing on this versatility, pros can sometimes wedge him in and find the perfect method to use these various skills by changing builds depending on how the game goes. But this is a lot to put on the shoulders of a new or even intermediate gamer.<\/p>\n

1 <\/span>Azir<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

While no pick will be without controversy, Azir is on almost everybody’s top ten list. Averaging out all of these polls, Azir comes out to be the clear\u00a0“winner”\u00a0by earning recognition as a\u00a0champ with a learning curve so steep that ever pro players haven’t learned to use him yet.<\/p>\n

Azir is placed into the mid lane but instead of carrying, it’s expected that Azir will go for siege damage later. Azir’s early game damage is laughably bad and he has a tiny mana pool. Since he’s not a standard carry, this means games that aren’t over by the middle minutes are bad news for his teammates.<\/p>\n
