First, decide what type of style you prefer. Do you like to play aggressively, or do you prefer to take a more defensive approach? Wild Rift has a variety of champions that specialize in different areas, so take a bit of time to try them out and see what works best for you.
Do You Like the Abilities?
Once you have an idea of the type of character you'd like to play, think about their unique abilities and play style. Does the champion have the skills necessary to be effective in combat or to support teammates?
Is the character good at poking or initiating fights? Is their play style suited to the current ‘Meta’ of the game? Try playing some training matches with different champions and see how they feel.
