In my opinion: the only real new player friendly champ here is Janna. Ryze requires rotation knowledge and smartcast etc to be functional. Ezreal is just straight up not worth the trouble it takes to get damage off. Jungle Yi is pretty niche and doesn't offer much practice outside of possibly jungle pathing. Most of the time you're farming up feral flare stacks and split pushing etc (which is a playstyle limited to maybe 2 other champs).

I agree I'm 8-2 on ryze in ranked in my 39 wins or whatever. I'm just saying that he pretty much requires smartcast which might be a bit of a learning curve for new players.Ryze' rotation is pretty self evident when you read his skills, and develops pretty naturally. Plus you can go from level 1 to Challenger on him with very little playstyle variation
I guess I'm more focused on having a new player pickup champions where their strats and builds will branch into the majority of the other champions in that role (Practice wise).
Really no other champion besides maybe singe builds like ryze.
IDK maybe my opinion is off base here.

Learning to last hit, use abilities and summoners, and positioning are pretty universal to all champions and very important. Learning item builds can come later on, especially since each champ has various builds depending on your comp + enemy comp + whatever

Right, we agree on those points, I guess I disagree that Ryze is a good choice (outside of the ones I mentioned previously) for learning those things at the start.
I'm fine with a new friend of mine learning those things on a champion like orianna, then moving into smart casting, and then moving into Ryze.
I wouldn't have a new player learn the opposite way though. Huge curve. IMO as always.

Ryze is 450 IP, gets to build great items, has point and click CC, can be played in both solo lanes, and is fairly forgiving all the way around. This idea that you can minmax a new player's experience and optimize their acquirement of universal game knowledge is sperg nonsense.
Ryze is great to start with, no skill shots like Fawe said.
Also, turn on smart casting for everything but make sure you check on the option to see your skill shot path (whatever it's called) when HOLDING down the button. Now you can aim.

I would rather them play Ryze over Yi. Yi gets so fucked when he gets behind that I almost wouldn't tell a new player to pick him up. I like the rest of the list tho, Ryze, Janna , and Ezreal.

Just offering an alternative point of view however nonsensical you might consider it to be.

Sooooo...
Howabout that Azir. Seriously OP now, just wait till LCS and people see Bjergsen tearing out people's anuses.
He went from super bad to super good. I was 0-4 with him when he was released now I'm 2-0 since the latest changes. I plan to play him much more but I've had a helluva time getting mid lane recently.
He'll be nerfed for sure.

From what I was watching Azir seems like a Rengar situation, you're either a god or a peasant.

I'm not married to Yi. He's just someone that's hard to fuck up and requires very little to jungle with. Amumu is probably a better starter jungler. You've got one skill shot and all good buttons. Just run around the enemy team mashing Tantrum and crying on people and hope it works out.
Ezreal is just super, super safe. You get to learn some ADC stuff without getting immediately murdered when you fuck up. His ult is very fun.

Man back in the day (beginning season 2) after my taric junk I picked up Ashe, hit some pretty nice Joe Montana super bowl passes with her ult. Those were the days.
She gets pooped on now though
I can get behind the Amumu jungle starter pick for sure. Miss a bandage? Just waddle away and try again later. Np.
Ezreal seems like a sink or swim situation, Idk, I barely see ezreals do well these days for one reason or another so I'm biased.
