heroes that nuke are good, farming carries are good for new players too. Offlane and mid are the hardest position for a new player, and its better to improve your basic skills first.

Better to learn the game as support, sit back and help your carry and deny creeps, do not go trying to carry ranked games and do not go mid.

Playing carry will be too frustrating and too much at a time

Better start from sup, it's more interesting anyways and teach basics of the game much better

Carry and support depending on your playstyle.
Some basic ♥♥♥♥♥ hero like Crystal Maiden is a good start. She's literally a support with a passive that regenerates mana for everyone, can't get easier to play that this. The rest of her kit is very simple to use too, with probably the only exception being an ultimate, which gets countered very easily.

If carry - heroes like Sniper, Sven, Phantom Assassin. Skills are easy to understand, easier to execute, then you just right click and hope for the best. Knowing how to farm and lasthit is important, but gotta start somewhere, right?
Who else is there... Drow Ranger, i guess? Basically slightly more versatile sniper.
Chaos Knight is a simple bastard. Teleport, stun, watch crits flash before your eyes. Love that guy,
Juggernaut...
play safelane meepo, morph and invoker

thanks for the input but I played a few games and i wanted to ask. is there no role select? say if I want to play Support, someone already picks it. I can't tell which champions are which role so idk what my team intends to play

There is role ranked where you choose what roles you ready to play and one of those is given to you.

There is such an option in ranked games, but not in unranked ones.
The general rule of thumb is that people put on the minimap where they want to go and then just point at the hero they intend to pick (unless someone ignores that and picks first).

In the pick select windows there should be small butons bottom right where you can pick the type of hero you wanna pick and the difficulty of execution (ranging from 1 to 3).
... Or was it ranged vs melee? I don't remember, dammit.
