Anyone else not have a main?

I've been playing this game for a while, own all the champions, and yet I don't have a single champion, or even a single role, that I've played month after month, season after season. What I love about league is its variety. I know I could probably be a higher rank if I confined myself to a single champion or a single role but I feel like that would kill a lot of the fun of league for me.

Anyone out there who feels the same way? Or if you did feel that way in the past what motivated you to change? I'd love to eventually reach a high rank but the thought of one-tricking or just grinding out games on OP champs for the sake of reaching high elo makes me want to uninstall rather than play.

To me every ADC is almost the same or more or less similar.

The only thing that captivates me to play league is mastery and watching myself grow my proficiency with a certain champion.

But when I smurf, yeah I switch champions every single game and try champs I've never touched before.

I like both ideals and as for grinding OP champions for high elo making someone want to uninstall.. I can see that, but then again you're someone who's against the idea of spamming a single champion anyways.

To me it's like any other sport. You have casual players, high school competitive teams, college teams, NBA super stars.

They're all playing ball in their own way, and I believe they're all also having fun in their own respectful perspectives. There's nothing wrong with how they approach the game, if it ever comes to the point where you absolutely despise the game and have 0 will to even continue, but are for the sake of saying you made it / you didn't quit.. I think that's the point where you're standing in questionable territory.

Like I really want to make Masters, but if I don't even enjoy the game, and I'm wasting hours every day.. losing because of my lack of will to win. You can definitely bet that the weight of the reward vs what you're sacrificing is definitely not worth it. It really sucks that you have to swallow your pride at this point, but it's literally affecting your life / productivity.. at that point, it's not sane to even second guess.

TL:DR People who like playing variety / like mastering certain champions are both normal. People who feel sick of the game and want to quit, should weigh what they're sacrificing vs what they're trying to achieve in the game ( Mental health, time, real life responsibilities. )

I seriously can't main anyone, I always get bored on the same champion. I really need help on finding a main, because the only ones that seem interesting are unreachable to find, as if they are just above me.

I have had all champs since like season 4 or so and have over 1000 games in just normals alone. Countless hours of playing time yet I still don't have a single 'main'. Sure there are champions I play more than others, but I don't necessarily main anything and never will most likely. It gets boring playing the same champions all the time for me.

Plus I love to be able to be flexible and know how to play almost anything in the game to a degree. I pride myself in being a 'jack of all trades'. The old ways of League are ingrained into me, it's no fun if I can't play all the roles and all the champs.

That's how I feel too. However in this community people seem to take more pride being a one trick in diamond than someone who can play most/all champions at a gold level. No one seems to care how versatile you are unless they're auto filled.
