As per the topic, and given the recent bans, people may need to rebuild champion pools on new accounts. This topic addresses the question: What champions do you consider essential to own priced at 3150 IP or less?
​
JUNGLE
- Xin Zhao - 1350. Has always been a consistently strong, simple AD jungler.
- Evelynn - 1350. Strong flexible/AP jungler. Extremely strong in lower ELOs since vision control is weak.
- Nunu - 450. Strong objective-taker / counter-jungler / support-jungler.
MIDDLE
- Morgana - 1350. Very powerful, safe pick with scripts due to on-reaction Black Shields.
- Lux - 3150. Safe pick, good teamfight with shields, good sniping/roams.
- Annie - 450. Easy, strong, game-changer ult.
- Katarina - 3150. Not so strong in the current meta, but can be quite powerful due to snowball potential especially in lower ELO.
- Veigar - 1350. Powerful right now. Strong vs. AP mids.
TOP
- Malphite - 1350. Always relevant due to his incredible ult. Strong in current meta.
- Shen - 3150. Strong at higher ELOs with smarter teammates.
- Gangplank - 3150. Strong carry top. Cheapest of the major late-game AD carry tops (e.g. Irelia, Riven, etc.)
- Ryze - 450. AP Top. Very powerful with scripts.
- Garen - 450/Free. Strong in current meta, but otherwise mediocre. Included simply because he can be obtained for free.
SUPPORT
-
Blitzcrank - 3150. Very strong with scripts. The right grabs can win a teamfight.
-
Soraka - 450. Very strong with scripts.
-
Annie - 450. Strong poke support, game-changer ult.
-
Morgana - 1350. Strong with scripts due to on-reaction Black Shields to keep your ADC safe, and picks with stun.
ADC
- Twitch - 3150. Late-game hypercarry. Like Kalista, but stronger lategame, and half the price.
- Tristana - 450/Free. Safe, shreds towers.
- Sivir - 450. Strong with scripts due to on-reaction shields. Ult is better at higher ELO where comps can synergize with it.
