yeah i'm personally not a big fan of carries. my shitty computer and internet connection sees me playing at about 12 fps (6 when shit starts going down). there's too much lag to accurately target skillshots or read battlefields.
Although, they've been trying to make Ryze into a mage carry (there's a big issue about mages and how they cannot carry as well as an AD carry) and he still has the best early game burst (except, maybe, for tristana and annie). The mana stacking and passive means you want to build for mana and cooldowns (his AP ratios suck... overload got nerfed to .2) and basically continually cast as much as possible. His increased range on spells means he can actually do so from relative safety and is a solid choice for any beginner to this game.
Nunu is also a fun champ, but difficult to lane with against experienced opponents (you need to be aggressive as hell). His effectiveness drops off if anyone on the other team has any kind of hard cc (stun, fear, taunt) or a silence, because it renders your ult completely useless, unless you get lucky in the brush. He's a fun tank and great for leashing enemies for your team to kill, especially when you boost them with blood lust.
I'm interested to hear what you guys are going to say once you start playing people who are of relatively equal skill level
