Vayne:

Pros: Awesome kit (tumble for slight mobility + damage steroid, passive true damage steroid to focused targets, a knockback which is also a good pin against walls and an ult that is a damage steroid, speed boost when chasing & makes tumbles invisible)
Late game is pretty much unrivaled

Cons: Very squishy
Easy to kill early game

As long as you can play the early game decent she's always a beast and I love it.

* Top

Riven

Pros - Once you get 1 or 2 kills from enemy toplaner, its a instant win for you, there is no way the enemy toplaner can come back by trying to 1v1 against you in lane, she is also great at snowballing, very mobile, once your 7/0/0 and fed you can 1v3 enemy team all the time.
Cons - At higher level of gameplay , the enemy team will create strategy to not let you to snowball and carry, and if Riven didnt do well in lane and have some farms, item its hard to come back as her.

* Mid

Kassadin

Pros - His ulti is insane, can keep teleport back and forth, its basically a free flash, you can 3 hit enemy squishy by doing the R Q W combo, he is also great against a lots of mages in mid.
Cons - You are not going to do well if the enemy mid is Zed, or a good Jayce player, he is weak against most melee champions, if you can't land combo in teamfight and unable to calculate how much spells, cc the enemy team have burned you will be in trouble.

* Jungle

Lee Sin

Pros -Doesn't matter how much nerf bat can hit on this champion, this champion will always be the top tier jungler, he can win the game by him self buy making big plays, he have almost everything your team needs, tankiness, slow, gap closer, knockback etc.
Cons - There is no cons on this champ.

* ADC

Ezreal

Pros - Very mobile, Blue Ez is probably the best Ez atm, you can keep kiting the enemy champion without getting caught, fun to play, can stomp enemy botlane if they didn't play well.
Cons - His lategame is not great comparing to other ADC's, weaker laning phase compared to MF, Cait, Draven, Varus, unable to catch up if you are not doing well.

* Support

Thresh

Pros - He is OP, he can make your ADC fed, he have alots of teamfight utility, he is better than all other supports.
Cons - You will probably never get to play this champion in ranked since he have almost 80% banrate.

Another con: That new crap passive.

Ezreal

Pros: I dislike deaths, Ezreal excels at not dying, while dealing damage.
Cons: Less upfront damage (early on) than traditional high damaged adcs (Graves, Mf, Vayne, Draven)

Draven for sure. Early game his axes give awesome poke in lane. If you sustain the axes well that won't even really cost mana and you can do a lot of poke damage and CS easier with the axes. All it is with Draven is understanding how to ADC and learning the axe mechanics.

The only con with Draven is that you can't have a team of 5 Dravens.

Amumu, Tied for best jungler with Hecarim

Pros- Best CC ever, make everybody run away with his W & changes team fights into your favor and own's at ganking
Cons- You need to be able to land his Q and major target in Team Fights

Garen
Pros: Spinning, very strong.
Con: Spinning can make you dizzy.

Nautilus (any lane)

Pros: He's so versatile, it makes me want to cry. I love him so much.
Build AP and still will be tanky. It's great.
But he's best jungle.

Cons: If mid lane, it's hard to mid for a bit, so you need a jungler to help you. However, late game he's just amazing and depending on your build, he can stay forever in a team fight. Also great CC.
Pulls aren't as great as Blitz, but it's great in my opinion if you know how to use it properly.

Amped

Talon

Pro: Destroys most mid laners with ease and has an amazing assassination kit for taking out squishies.

Cons: His level 1-4 is absolutely pathetic. He also has trouble against bruisers, which is why I dislike him top.

Varus: One of the strongest/best late-game ADCs IMO, but hasn't reaaally got any escapes.

Draven: OP whenever and has his head stuck up his own butt, but axe catching can be a pain. and team fights are hella hard

@musouk:

He is quite lacking as an AD carry and Support though. He also cant build AP or on hit effect, which leaves him to only be able to go the AD route.

Fizz:
high burst ap damage. a fed fizz is a dangerous and terrifying fizz, especially if he has high ap items. can also be built as a tanky dps fighter. try wrapping ur head around that. don't forget bout his playful/trickster which can dodge many a skill, even ults. trollface on the local karthus ult, ashe ult, whatever ult or skill u can dodge. oh, and don't forget bout the shark. if it hits, it's open season on that target.

special mention goes to [b]DRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAVEN[/b]
catch an axe = more power to ur auto attacks. can hyper carry like vayne if fed. one more thing:
DRAAAAAAAVEN DOES IT ALLLL, WITH STYLE

Hecarim

@RazorNion Wow, another Jarvan lover huh?
Jarvan is definitely my favorite champ by far. I have tons of fun building him pretty much as a pure tank and or offtank. I love his EQ combination as well.

@iShottedSnow it isn't as bad but it's not the best either. I've done it before and was able to get myself and my carry most importantly lots of kills to further progress into the game. I just don't wouldn't see myself playing that role forever haha xD

Solo top as Garen or Jungle Darius
@eyeholes I love Lux in my team when I'm Garen. Demacia Power!

Lux for sure.
Pros: her skills are very helpful in game and she's very fun.
Cons: shes very mana dependent early game and squishy.
A lot of skill shots but it doesn't bother me.
I love playing her ap mid.

Jarvan the Fourth

Pros: Pretty much his EQ combo.
Cons: He helps a lot if you misuse his ult at your team.

Kayle.

Pros: Is the only champion which can fit all 5 roles without losing a lot/being almost useless. Ranged attack that counts as melee when it comes to effects, healing,etc.

Cons: Farm dependant, low mana pool, gets hit hard by CC.

I just started recently, so I'm not exposed to a lot of them yet. So far, I quite like Varus though. An ADC, nicely ranged, but low hp and easy death.
I'm quite intrigued to try out a Karthus again when I have a better feel for the game.
