That explains so much.

I just started around a week ago and would like some summoner recommendations. My two favorites so far are Morgana and Brand. I basically like summoners with a good AoE skill and the ability to either stun or slow enemies. Preferably only AP users as I tried Ashe and that guy with the gun and I didn't like them. A good E or Ultimate is also great since I often use finishers.

Any recommendations?

Hmm aoe AP users? Karthus, Vladimir, Ryze (his ult = beast mode aoe during team fights), Rummble (you didn't say mid only), Ahri (but I don't play her), and maybe Ziggs. Don't get me wrong I love Ziggs, but I feel a lot of solo queue teams play improperly when a Ziggs is on the team. This is just a few I like. Gragas is always a fun time too!

Really.... You have only been playing for a week or two. You should stick with the free champ rotation to find champions you like. Wait until you are summoner lvl 20+ to think about buying champs. This also forces you to play different champs and that gives you more exposure to those different champs so you know what they can do when you play against them. Also, you want to make sure you have enough IP saved up so you can have one or two "full" T3 rune pages when you hit lvl 20.

Edit: Adding Morgana to the list. No idea how I could forget my first love....

Playing as Gragas is so much fun, but you gotta be careful with his ulti 'cause it can make or break a teamfight. I've had times when we won the match 'cause I nailed 1 or 2 great ultis, but I've also lost matches (and teamfights in general) due to a bad ulti.
The dude has 3 AoE skills, one of which is escape/slow (E) and one deals huge damage mid-late game and has AS reduction (Q, imo). Spell vamp + gragas Q <3
Also his W is awesome, gives his E some oomph, mana for staying on the lane and up to 18% reduction on all damage for a long while, easily enough to last for entire teamfight. He also got some boost on a patch a while ago, especially his early game E got a lot better.

I'm with Myrtl though, you should wait for a while until you start buying champs (especially the more expensive ones). Ryze is no biggie, he's 450IP IIRC. I've bought a few bad champs and it's really messed with my runes and stuff now that I'm over lv20. (should probably make a new acco now that I think about it + smurfing is always fun)

tl;dr Wait for a while 'till you start buying champs, use the free ones and buy Ryze for now if you want a good mage.

I'm not too good a player though, I mostly play Riven with occasional Gragas and TF

Welcome to my on-release Jarvan build

<3 We need to play again sometime Mr.

I would say that if he legitimately couldn't connect and his friends told you, it isn't fair to report him. Sometimes these things are unavoidable. The report system is really to be used against people that are pariahs of the community (aka those who go out of their way to ruin their teams game through harrassment, belittling, trolling, leaving, or a just downright negative attitude towards working together). Obviously if you don't explain your reports, nothing will get done. The more meaningless reports you send out, the more ammunition Riot gets to use in there case against you for a ban if you are consistently reported as well. They take into account the reports you receive, the ones you hand out, and the data they've collected on the people you've reported. This allows them to see if you just report people who die once at the start for feeding, but then bash your team all game and get reported at the end. There is a link on reddit somewhere describing the process, but I'm at work so don't think I can find it.

Like Myrtl said: Morgana, Rumble, Vlad, Karthus, Gragas, possibly Kennen just for his AoE ultimate and W, Lux, Malzahar, Ahri with her multi target attacks not so much AoE, Anivia, Akali has 1 real small AoE, Annie, Viktor, and I'm sure I'm missing someone. Just keep playing free chaps for now.


Edit: Long post is long.
