Is it normal to think your main champion is in every way superior to other champions in it's role?

For a while now Ive been maining Zilean mid (sometimes support,) and whenever I play a different midlaner, I feel that I just cant carry without playing Zilean; that Zilean does way more than any other midlaner. Am I just really delusional, or has my playstyle become centered around Zilean, to the point where my playstyle doesnt work on anyone but Zilean? Thanks! ^.^

It is normal to think that the chmpion you are playing is superior than others, because else why would you choose this champ instead of others?

because of superior fun when playing the champ

but i guess that another form of being superior too

depends on the champ you play. I used to play ap tryndamere a lot last season and I played him a bit this season. I didn't feel like he was the best, but I really enjoyed him and I did feel like he was superior to normal tryndamere in every way. My favorite adc is sivir and I feel like she is one of the best, but if I had to play jinx or something I don't feel like my playstyle is ruined.

superior might mean different things for different people. A champ might be superior to someone because the player is super familiar to the champ and very comfortable playing it. Or it can mean the champ is just flat out strong in the player's opinion.

For example, Xin Zhao is probably my most played champion, everyone knows he is not doing so hot in the meta right now, but I just feel like he is much superior than someone like jax or master yi, even tho I know those champions have more power than Xin, the feeling when I play Xin is better.

Because if i thought i was playing the BEST character for the position the victory would be hollow imo, its like "OH BOY YOU STOMPED THEM! GOOD JOB, ALL IT TOOK WAS FOR YOU TO PLAY THE MOST braindead, top tier, bullshit champion you could find. good job."

I haven't built him completely like this so far but I feel bard could also make a great ad assassin with trinity, duskblade, ghostblade, rfc and is. (No cool icons BC I am on mY phone)

As a fellow zilean main I need to inform you that once fully mastered, zilean can do wonders. When people first play him all they see in him is a stun a slow and a revive. There is so much more in him though that when fully unlocked does insane things. This is also evident in his winrate per games played, where players with 125 + games in him boast a very high 63 % winrate up from the 52 % players with less games on him have. Keep playing him man. The more you learn the more you can do. Zilean has an answer for every situation and can fit like a glove in any comp, when played to his full potential.

He's got a Zilean possibilities.

I'm sorry, I couldn't help myself.

It is normal. That's part of what makes a certain champ your main. You learn them to a point that most other champs in the same role feel a bit more awkward to use.

Its normal. I was so with Azir until they nerfed him into uselessness. Kayle is my carry now. I don't expect to win without her.

yes, it's pretty normal.

No, sir, you are the Zilean.

I imagine if you put in the time on another champion you would begin to learn their tricks and start to feel that you contributed more, but Zilean happens to just be a midlaner/support with oodles of utility that fits into a lot of team comps. It's pretty normal to feel like your main offers more though, cause they do offer more for you - you have more games so you understand how to play the champ better.

Mordekaiser Almost every other champ is better than my main in one way or more

Depends on what you're playing but I can see your point.

Sometimes I would pick a different support and then say "what? She can't do that? Boooo! This is boring back to Lulu!"

Though it's more on your playstyle centered on Zilean and I don't see anything wrong with that.

If i jungle, if i dont use wu, I know i have to rely on my team, because sej is best with follow up, wu can solo carry most of the time.

I dont like trusting my team to wipe their own bottoms

in botlane its Jhin, because he gives me the utility i need to feel relevant, and has damage too

It really comes down to your personal playstyle. Zilean may indeed be the best mid for you to play due to your mechanics and way of play.

I've played Azir for so long. Playing him for suo long though made me less adaptive to everyone else like you said.

I generally feel like I can do better than anyone in terms of EVERYTHING because of maining him. I'm in an emperor who has everything a team and midlaner wishes they could have. And I have won many games to prove that I can show the potential.

And yes I think it's normal to believe you're the best. There is no down side in believing you can carry.

Eh. Not me. But I play a lot of different champs

Main Quinn bot and I actually think otherwise, if you fall behind in the adc position you're kinda donezo unless you know how to read the map. That is teamwise adc, but if we're talking just getting all adc's to 1v1 I think she's dabes actually lol.

That would be finding a champion that fits your play style and unless your play style is sit back spam high damage spells for minimal cost or burst the enemy before they can respond your almost everything else has been nerfed into obscurity because riot finds it hard to balance everything that isnt straight up damage from a significant range

My champ is the best. That's why I play her.

It's normal. When you find a champion that works for you, it's hard to imagine doing better with something else.

Eh, depends. I main 4 champs each for different things, if theyre tanky, all ap, all ad, mixture of both, or if im first pick. This way i never question it, because im usually countering the enemy with the champ i chose

ghood4life1 votes

I'd say it's more common to think your champion is too weak and needs buffs now rito plz wtf

Vellich0r1 votes

No it's natural. You play a champion long enough and you find their strengths so their strengths are all you see, and you learn to cover up their weaknesses so they feel less apparent. It's a big reason why people who main one champion are so feared on that champion: they've learned to play them so well they really are superior to every other champion in that role to that one person.

yes, when i play ad tankraka top it's like a refreshing breeze up my skirt compared to all the other picks

Rico Nasty1 votes

No, same. I think it's just my level of experience with Karma . I know tons of tricks and ways to play around counterplay, and all in all it makes for a really smooth and fun game.

OneFlashFourDash1 votes

I feel the exact same way. You're just most comfortable on Zilean and know how to handle a lot more situations with him.

Kitty Clarissa

for me :v Sona hidden op played her all lanes and now she is banned :^)

UKP LK

when you main sth you know how to play match up Like me main Riven, I know how to play against my counter and do stuff bla bla but if I pick another top champ I rarely play I can get fck over if I met its counter.

Thats why you feel that your main is better cause u know wtf you are doing basically hehe xd
