For landscapes, cheap solution is Canon 10-18mm, or Tokina 11-whatever(that one has larger aperture, tinny hair sharper image to the corners and is more expensive).

For portraits 50mm f/1.8 STM is good cheap choice.

For reach and sports, 55-250mm is good cheap choice.

Of course there are way better lenses, but I don't see you going for these to pay big $$$$.

18-135mm IS STM is good vide range lens, and If you want a one lens situation for little money, it would be it, but if it was my decision, I would not buy 80D at first place, but T6i/T6s, and I'd go with those lenses mentioned before, if not better. Good new body without adequate lenses will not help your situation.

My son rarely uses his 50mm f/1.8 but loves his 55-250mm.  He rented a 100-400mm in Africa and found it an easy transition.

Why do you prefer the T6i/T6s over the 80D?  I prefer pentaprism to pentamirror and anticipate the 80D's autofocus will be superior.  I do wish the 80D had DIGIC 7 and 4K video.
