User blog comment:Sifter66/Who do you find is the most Easiest and Hardest Champion to Play?/@comment-5651085-20130225164037

-DISCLAIMER- (all of this is opinion. I main support and mid, so I don't have a lot of experience with jungle or top. I can play adc pretty well, but not as good as support or mid.)

I think the difference is with easy to LEARN, or easy to MASTER (do well with them consistently). Most champions are easy to learn, but difficult to master.

In terms of mastering:

Janna (Hard). Her Q and her ult are VERY difficult to always use effectively, mostly because they require snap decision making: Should I channel my ult fully for the heal, or use it for the knocback? Let my Q charge for full damage and range, or fire quickly for the knockup?

Sona (Hard). Hear me out first. She is VERY easy to play. Auradance 24/7 and use your ult in teamfights. Yes, this works fine mid-late game. Her laning phase, however, separates the men from the boys, so to speak. Sona really shines as a poke support. Her AA + Hymn + Powerchord combo can take 1-2 bars off of an enemy at early levels. Learning to land it with minimal damage to yourself is key.

Cassiopeia: (HARD). There's a reason she has a difficulty rating of 100. (Sometimes Riot does things right.) Played right, she is a TERROR in lane. If you're not careful, she can easily take off half of your health and walk away.

Ryze (EASY): Really. Build mana, all but faceroll your skills. Not much to him, but still a powerful champ.

Soraka (Easy): Tends to be a bit passive, but has a great poke in Starcall, especially if you have an ADC that deals some magic damage (Varus). Only champ (to my knowledge) with a non-self-targeted mana heal.

TL;DR: Please do, but:

Easiest: Ryze

Hardest: Cassiopeia
