Favorite Champion
This isn't a generic "who is your fav champ thread". This one will delve into the depths of your soul >:D
So tell me, summoners, who is your favorite champ to play ON the rift? What do you like about their kit? What draws you to play them?
What is your favorite champ in general. This includes gameplay, lore, the way Riot designed them to be, anything else etc. Tell me why.
What champ got you the most hyped for their release? Why?
What is the first champ you "mained". The one you bought during your level up phase and left a good mark on your heart.
As for me, my fav one to play in game would probably be
. I just love how she can dance around, in, through, and out of the battle and do consistent damage.
My fav champ in general HAS to be
. I love EVERYTHING about them- their lore, their gameplay, their design. I love the mystery that they are. I'm drawn to mysterious things easily, and they have a whole hell lot of it. I love that they are getting attention as well, it is much needed. I can't wait for the new rework.
I was most hyped for
, by far. I really love this champ. (I've only played league since Kindred's release, but at their release I was still a very low level.) I love how controlling she can be, and you can feel how determined she is in her VO.
The one that I first "mained" would be
. AP Mid, destroyed my enemies kek.
AP
ADC 
. I just like the simple assassin design, nothing special no magic crap just a pure assassin that looks and feels like he should. Plus Parkour.
is my overall favorite. Balanced, fun, and takes a lot of skill to master. I like how he's designed as a cosmic being that is potentially one of the most dangerous people in the world but he just kind of chills out with his meep friends.
was my most hyped release. Badass star dragon just sounded like a cool idea. Never really did get into him when he released though, the playstyle wasn't quite as fun as I had hoped.
was my first main back in late season 2. I was a complete noob back then, I had absolutely no concept of how anything in the game worked or what anyone in the game did other than Kayle. I used to build 6 daggers on her for some reason that I could not explain to you. Never upgraded to actual items.
I love everything about Miss fortune. She is my everything From her Lore, her kit, her gameplay, the design EVERYTHING! I just love when i can q onto a minion and half health ppl who are dumb enough to stay behind minions. I love moving fast when an enemy tries to grab me with no cc, I love when i can just make it rain slowing people down to catch them, and by god her ult. Her ult makes me grin from ear to ear when i melt the enemy adc (mainly this bish
i hate her i hate her i have mastery 7 with her and will get her legendary skin but JESUS i hate her)
I love Renekton, you see im in bronze a place where people do not learn from their mistakes so even though they are below half health without flash and I have flash I love to just fuck shit up. You see im an asshole I want you to hate this lane, this is my lane come farm I dare you ;D
cause he feels really satisfying to play with the way you just drag, push and pull everyone.
Cause i feel like there is quite a bit of depth to his character.
because of all the videos
. Slowly breaking down my opponent's juking patterns to get that well-placed combo into a 100-0 facemelt is satisfying, and as an immobile champion with nothing but skillshots, his skillcap is rewarding, too.

toplane; not in a great spot right now....but when the current patch leans more toward his favour, his combination of stat-stripping, high sustain and utility make him quite formidable. His AA+Q reset one-two-punch actually gives the sensation of having weight behind it; like hitting someone with a garbage-bag full of soap bars. Good stuff.
but then I whip out 
and curb them with a powerful poke akin to smacking someone real good with a pillowcase full of phonebooks. Good stuff.
until around level 25 because he was a big scary monster and I had his spooky scary skeleton skin, had fun with the burst combo but got tired of losing all my stacks (you can guess how happy those ult changes made me)
for a but cause running adcs down was fun and then I decided to try a champion everyone said was hard,
, man oh man is going mega gnar fun but my proudest moment was kiting a
to death when i had no hp.
and noticed "Wow, they just keep on dying"
was released and I though "I like the way this guy thinks" And yeah It's basically been Ekko and Fizz games with the ever so often random.
THIS DEMON DUDE LOOKS SO BAD A**, spent like a month or two saving enough IP for him, then being sad because I didn't do well, but was determined to bring this beastmode looking champion to the spotlight. Got mediocre with him and Then realized he was complete trash tier after acquiring other champions.
Cheap champion, stayed healthy in jungle, run fast. What more could I ask for as a nub?
(still my favorite) Oh good GOD look at this damage, holy SHT. And his playstyle is fun af to boot!
(the one I play to do good with) Oh good GOD look at this damage, holy SHT. And his
was the first champ I mained, although I really do not like him anymore (thanks pros for causing him to be garbage in normal play)
. In fact, this is probably the rework they've done the best on. I love hordes of little ghouls, hitting people with a very big shovel, and people forgetting that said shovel heals you! The only thing I don't like is that his W can be nearly useless, given how many movement abilities there are in this game now. I'm pretty sure
and
I haven't been playing long, and this guy reminds me of the stories my brother and I would make up when we were kids.
, but I think
was my first true "main." I was in a garage band at the time, and I liked that there was a music champ. BONUS! I got the pentakill skin soon after buying her.
ADC for smurfing:
Most Hated: My bot lane
which is weird cause I am super into mages. It's just such a nice change to not be the one sitting in the back and instead charging through teams and punching people into oblivion.
. Everything about Taliyah's character is so wonderful and relatable to me. She's one of the few League characters that I can really get into. Which is why I think she trumps Zyra (yes I did just do that). I like them both for similar reasons but Zyra is all angry and murderous while Taliyah is just so fun ... she's a complete mess but she's fun.

after his rework I just thought he was the most adorable thing ever ... so my friends gifted him to me and I spammed him so much. So Heimer just has a special place in my heart because of that. He's one of the few champions that just make me laugh. I will never get tilted as heimer cause he just makes me giggle.
i love everything about her except for mafia jinx (it's just bad). her lore is lighthearted with a past you get to imagine yourself, her base skin is so amazing i used it until slayer came out even tho i had the other skins. kinda sad her legendary was wasted on the starguardian line.
switcheroo is such a fun mechanic and so is super mega death rocket. And her passive lives up to it's name, destroying their whole base running around like i'm sanic.
with
being a close runner up. I never thought i'd play singed until i got him in aram and realized he's so much fun. at first i always just fed my ass off and my friends hated me picking him so i pushed him aside. then one day i picked him up, figured out that i'm a lane singed instead of a proxy singed and i've been stomping top ever since.
And surfer singed is probably the best thing in this game.
quite a bit. He's a really good mage counter and I love his mix of engage, poke defense and CC.
In general
. His kit has aged well over the years, his new lore puts him in a neat place as to how he fits into the world, he's got a fun personality and he has an ever present sense of a potential he has yet to obtain. I've always believed Wukong could be a really great character for League if they ever sat down to work on him alone.
. I believe he had the first in game interactive teaser that I knew about and that added a layer of mystery to him that got me exited.
, back when I thought "AP" made your abilities stronger, "AD" made your basic attacks stronger and "Jungle" was a term used by the second top laner who wanted to troll the entire team .-.
and maybe the
but the first champion i mained was
. No, I'm not joking. I picked her up on a free weekend after one of my friends made fun of her. I thought she looked interesting (Back in S4 btw), so I played her out of reverse psychology. I wasn't disappointed. Sadly, me and Sej have taken a break from each other. It's not her, it's me, I've just shifted roles too much to play her consistently.
, the "You can't touch me or my team for the rest of eternity" support. The only reason this edges out any other champ I play is because I can carry with this guy on support.
. The dude is always so encouraging in-game with all his quotes, and it's kind of charming in a light-hearted and funny way. His lore is amazing, as it's basically folklore, and he has the potential to make some nice in-game saves.




with Bloodlust. Don't tell.) If we take reworks into account, Katarina mini-rework is a close second.
. She first helped me understand the ins and outs of mid lane as well as being a somewhat easy champ to learn. I don't play her anymore though. :(
Where you get bullied through the entire laning phase, but still manage to not be behind and outscale your opponent.
When people pick
. I played mostly
back then, and struggled really hard with mana. I played also jungle a little bit. When I saw a manaless jungler being announced, I was hyped. I was already maining her. I ended S5 with 59% w/r over 175 games, with 4 kda. I just felt she was designed for me. I invested so much time in her. Being broken on release really helped me to learn her, because I can get really impatient. Even if I sucked, I would still perform well and it encouraged me to play her even more. And then, well ... she got nerfed to oblivion, almost unplayable. And now, I'm awaiting her rework, as hyped as I was for her original release :D
