When your Main becomes FotM (Flavor of the Month)

Igotlazy·Apr 9, 2016·79 votes·6,144 views

One of the most aggravating things. People bother you for playing a Champ you've been maining for over a year. They don't know me, they don't know what I've been through with this Champion. The feeders, the afks, the losses, the victories, the promotions. It doesn't matter now, all that matters is that I'm playing this OP Freelo EZ Champ because apparently I'm just one of those losers on the bandwagon. First Kha'Zix, then Lucian, now Ekko.

Welcome to what every Garen main went through in the Juggernaut update.

Welcome to what every Garen main went through in the Juggernaut update.

I have a friend who is a Garen main, and I've always wondered why people stuck around with him even after they learned new champs.

He's simple and can still be a powerful force in deciding the outcome of a match. He doesn't hard carry, but if one other person carries he can support them with either map pressure or direct damage support.

The most important part is that some people, including myself, just find him fun. There's at least a few people who just find a champion fun for every champion, no matter how strong they are.

It only does ~500 damage to someone at 100% health mate. Don't let your personal salt get in the way of facts.

People may not say it but I think in every featured gamemode everyone's thinking the Teemo player is a tryhard. If you're playing Ascension at all right now with him, for example.

Unfortunately Teemo being strong in featured gamemodes never seems to translate to the Rift lol.

Shroom JunkieApr 10, 20164 votes

Yup. Its his shrooms, in URF they're up all the time, in Ascension its a small map with lots of tight spaces, in TT Hexakill its also a small map, in Legend of the Poro King its literally just a straight map so.

Some things like Hexakill on the Rift aren't that good, though.

your one of the kids that makes me hate to play top lane, i toplane maybe once in 10 games and everytime i do its vs teemo and i play melee champs and i cant do anything because of fuckerrs like you... so fuck you dude, ill be laughing at your when I'm in heaven and your in hell

Shroom JunkieApr 10, 20169 votes

Jeez, chill. Firstly, its a game. Calm the hell down. Secondly, if you want to beat Teemo, then tip: Go in when he tries to poke you with his blind. After he Q's, during that moment of immobility from the pause, turn and jump on him. If you can't or you lose anyway, try going in after. If he's using a retreat tactic, use that to your advantage- everything of his is point-and-click. Hide in a bush and zone him from CS, you'll slowly gain and advantage as you walk out and CS and he can't get any. Once you're ahead enough you should be able to 1v1 him. If all else fails, then pull lane to just before the tower and try to keep it centered there, and farm up, then when he leaves to recall push the lane and either recall yourself or try to gank mid. During all of laning phase, take advantage of his slow push by trying to tp-gank mid or bot(tell them to set a ward in the far end of the lane so you can gank without the enemy just walking away) and getting your bot or mid laners fed. You may be useless but at least your team isn't.

Also, if Teemo is such a problem to you, try Irelia out for a little bit and get used to her. She's simple and hard counters Teemo(and pretty much every top laner). If the Teemo is good you'll lose until level 6, but when you get level 6, don't hesitate to go in unless you're oom.

You can take a break from a champion even if you main them. Maybe he'd been playing too much Kindred before and wanted to try or learn other champions for a change.

LegacyDAPApr 9, 20163 votes

That's fine, but usually if you have a main you play more than 1 game every 20 days.

For all we know this is an exceptional break for him :) To be fair to him he doesn't seem to play much in general (looked at his profile), so he's naturally gonna have less games on his mains than most.

AstôlfoApr 10, 20165 votes

Uh, I play Kindred a lot, hence the level 4, almost 5 mastery, which I have on very few champions. I don't play that much League, which is why I don't have that many relative games. And playing the same champ over and over doesn't appeal to me, which is why I play whatever fits my mood. I meant main as in having one of the highest mastery/game counts on said champion.

Bah none of my mains have ever been FotM when I mained them so I don't really know the feel, but I guess it's kind of frustrating to deal with... if Nocturne jungle became FotM for some reason I would be depressed D=

IgotlazyApr 9, 20165 votes

I think he got some time in the Spotlight back when Feral Flare was first introduced in Season 4. Can't remember for certain though.

FantasySniperApr 9, 20161 votes

Yeah, he got a popularity boost. Then it happened again with Devourer.

ValexforApr 9, 20163 votes

Yeah, but he's still rarely seen since most other junglers can use jungle items better than him: Warrior is good on him since he does have decent scaling, but if you go for warrior all you get is a stat stick (which is kinda bad since noc already gets a lot of free damage on his Q); You go Devourer? He can't really use it too well, he's not like Xin/Yi/WW he doesn't get any real benefit from it; You go Runic Echo? Why do you even bothr to play him ap I would like to ask...; You go for Cinderhulk? Good, but stupid: he's got the kit of an assassin so he need damage...

I find Noc incredibly cool but at the same time he's pretty contradictory himself since half his kit is that of an assassin (W, R and to some extent Q) while the other half is of a bruiser (E, P, and the other part of his Q) so his build path is strange: you need a lot of items for him to be strong even though he's got a lot of gold value in his kit (meaning he should be quite strong thanks to his base value) and his strenght and efficiency is alway neutral: he's never the best choice since there are a lot of both stronger farm jungler and stronger gank junglers but at the same time, unless his numbers are just that low, he's got better ganks and farming of others... he tends t be in the middle in both farm and ganks, he's good at both, but masters none.

FantasySniperApr 9, 20162 votes

Devourer isn't nearly as useful on him as it once was, and that used to be a real problem for him, but ever since they added item 3147 , he can be quite the effective assassin.

He's usually picked over other assassins or fighters because he has such strong pick and teamfight potential with his ult, and can still mop up after the kill. He doesn't exactly have the burst of a real assassin, but his steroids give him a free item slot for defense.

For reference, I prefer to pick up Warrior on him now. Sated takes too long to stack, and even once it's stacked it has minimal benefits. Usually better to build BotRK or Youmuu's for attack speed.

SpongebobIsLifeApr 10, 20162 votes

hmm it might be, wukong has flown under riot's radar for so long. Imo, the champions they are gonna target are Aatrox, Wukong, J4, Olaf, Illaoi (even though im not sure if she is considered a diver, riot knows she isnt working out too well), and nocturne.

Blue Moon WolfApr 10, 20162 votes

I can see Olaf and definitely Aatrox. I was assuming they might work on Irelia. But true, Wukong has been "In a good spot" since about season 3 (I think that is the last time Riot mentioned anything about him gameplay wise) and even though he still has a steady win rate, his laning phase is a bit of a challenge and in team fights he's pretty much a one trick pony (E in, Ult, decoy if things go south, help with straggler). IT would be nice to see him get a second passive, but I'm worried what they would end up changing on in his kit.

Soraka main for 6 years. She's now the most banned champion. For 7 months now, actually, which sucks. A lot. Because playing her is a luxury now, considering how often she's banned. :\
