Hey guys, I wanted to know who your favorite Champion is or a champion that you mainly play more than others. A champion that gives you the best feeling of success or a rewarding attributes that you appreciate so dearly? The style of design of your favorite/main champion; the lore, the skills, the plays you make with, the fanart, fanfiction, fanservice whichever. A champion that you can relate to, visualize, talk about and talk too... I mean, just have fun with.Anything about a champion you want to discuss about, I'm all ears.

I'll start off a bit with this discussion. I haven't been playing this game as much as I want to, but whenever I hop on League I always try to queue up in a support or fill role in general. Thankfully, I always get support as my lane. Then, when I'm browsing over the list of supports I can utilize for my teams composition, to counter an enemy champ, or just a champion I wanna go ham with... as a support.

Thresh~Thresh

Dude, I LOVE THRESH TO DEATH, figuratively speaking of course. But his creation and concept appeal so much to me... in a unique perspective. Regardless, this was my first...second, third...champion I picked up when starting League 2-3 years ago when I first started playing. At first I hadn't really thought of main a support because it wasn't attractive or didn't appeal to me and wanted to be the "carry" who always making flashy plays, carrying "newbs" and being a complete asshole (Still an asshole).

So yeah, that didn't work out, as I spent the next games under level 30 playing weird lane matchups like Maokai/Voli bot, Blitzcrank top and Cho'gath Adc... yeah... interesting period in my life.

This was in season 3, and I believe this was just after Kha'zix's release that a new champion was being announced. I began getting a grasp of the meta and began tackling on different roles... except support. It was until than that I hopped on League front webpage did I spot the newest champion to coming to League: Thresh, the Chain Warden. My jaw dropped and for some reason I became enchated by everything about this champion: His gameplay, his lore, his design and his rising popularity. First support champion I ever bought and had the pleasure of playing with ever since.

I could go on and on about Thresh and the many games I've had with him. I've learned a lot about this game from when I first started playing and still have room to improve, but I can never stop playing this champion. Thresh isn't solely the reason I play League; he's just a BIG reason on why I keep playing today still. Now I main support funny enough, and I've expanded my roles in different lanes with a number of champions

I think that's enough for now and want to hear from you guys. What champion gives you this same hype/confident/awesome feeling when playing them?

Pantheon I used to main Pantheon because I loved the ability to arrive when needed. But over time, my focus shifted to a more...tanky playstyle.

Sion

The amount of chaos I cause for the enemy team is amazing. The feeling I get with a five man knock up or blocking almost all of their damage with my W is amazing. I feel like a terror on the battlefield, one that despite being tanky, still has the ability to kill you. I'm useful to my team as well as satisfying to myself.

And he fits his character so well. Yes he is one of those "mindless" monsters at first glance, only showcasing rage and bloodlust. But after a while you begin to notice his own dissatisfaction. Does he want to fight? Yes! But he is sickened by what he has become when he has a small lucid period to reflect on it. He wanted to fight on his terms, not be brought back as some freak of nature who doesn't even feel the rush of adrenaline in battle anymore. Blood is a drug to him and he has built up such a tolerance for it that it no longer pleasures him, but he can't go through withdrawal.

Sion is a monster, no longer the prideful warrior he once was. Swain best fear the day Sion regains control of himself. He will regret bringing Sion back to the battlefield.

Love the feeling of how easily I can control / carry a team fight.

Hecarim.

I've always been fascinated by cavalry and I love the feeling of charging into a group of vulnerable squishies backed up by an army of spectral horsemen and hacking those poor bastards to pieces.

I also love his lore, his deep, menacing voice that sounds like it was dragged out of a grave. His tragic reworked lore that paints him as not entirely evil; perhaps even the chance of redemption as suggested by the east altar on Twisted Treeline.

I adore how fast he can go and how many builds are viable for him: assassin, lightning bruiser, tank, ap, movement speed, (RIP Zephyr) hybrid, and a mountain of other builds, items, and masteries that are useful on Hecarim.

I suspect I will continue to ride into battle as the War Pony for as long as League is played.
