So first of all, im really not expierienced in things of league. I played a bit in season 4, but I first really understood the game in Preseason 5. I always had that role of a filling position, sometimes liking one role more than the other, but never got really bounded with one. I felt also bad when I was first pick because I had to pick a role which I usually couldnt decide myself. And in last time, it seems so much easier to just spam a role even if u dont get it everytime. I decided that I want to main a champion, but with the current champion pool its really hard to decide as a "main" filler :( So my question is, how did you found your favourite role/champion (if u have one) and why do you like it so much? :)

I find myself in a position similar to yourself. I enjoy "filling" whatever empty position, and providing what my team otherwise lacks, rather than mainlining one champion and one role. At the same time, however, I find I have a particular skill set that makes me more comfortable in some roles than others.

I really enjoy the idea of "not dying"--which means that tanks are really fun. But because I like to support whatever the team needs, I tend to be very objective focused, and not kill-focused. The combination means I HATE playing ADC, because 1 they are squishy, and 2 they just farm kills all game long. that's clearly oversimplified, and may not be truely accurate, but in ranked games, there is little shortage of players wanting to go adc, so I've never found it to be a big issue.

In the end, I usually try to play support . and if I'm not playing support, I like to go top lane . either way, I end up playing a tanky champion that runs interference and peel, rather than strait DPS. and that's fine with me, because it's low pressure.

If, on the other hand, you enjoy WASTING you're opponents, I'd suggest a mid-lane roaming champion (assassin), or jungler, or ADC. Someone that trys not to give their opponent a fighting chance: , etc

truely objective focused players probably enjoy pushers: . While other people just like to screw around, and harass their foes (emotionally, more than stratigically).

In the end, you just need to figure out what you enjoy . and if you decide in the end (like me) that the biggest thing for you is just to help the team, get you're map awareness up, and go for Support, or Jungle. Their job is just to solve everyone elses problems anyway, isn't it?

I think you should just try as many things as you can in the game and see what you like; guide your role/champion selection by what you already know you like and branch out from there. If you see something cool in a video or in a game, try it out. Free champion rotation is one of your best options for trying out new champions, if you're having trouble getting that role you can always go into a bot game or custom game (with or without bots); either one is perfectly good for testing out new champions. That's typically how I find favorite champions/roles, just experimenting and finding things I like

To me its hard to like a certian lane/role. Some games Ill do great with one, and others Ill do horrible. To me I like bouncing around and trying different roles and stick with one that Im good with at the time.
