I Seriously Don't Get One Thing

People call themselves a main of a champion, and then proceeds to try an explain why a champion is weak or strong with the worst reasoning ever, or justify why a champion deserves a mechanic.

Ex: "I'm a filthy Yasuo main, and Yasuo needs to get rid of his shield because he gets so tanky." "I'm an Ahri main, but Ahri needs a buff to her Q because it has a bad AP ratio. She also deserves that MS boost because she's a kite MAGGEEEEE."

Edit: These are just retarded examples that probably .1% of the mains said, but you get the point?!!

Basically what the rest are saying, "Elitist players who think they are so amazing by declaring a champion their main aka Waifu/Husbando", Yet they likely don't play them as often as they say they do or not as effectively as they might brag about. One thing for certain is that Yasuo is a prime example of a champion with a kit with the most largest number of gimmicks in it, while continuing to be a scummy champion who has not received a proper change even when they only really did a change to counter out the tank Yasuo build yet effectively left regular Yasuo builds untouched and Ahri is a major example of a champion with the fewest gimmicks yet still can operate quite well thanks to her kit being completely good with itemization.

Not as ridiculously flexible as MasterYi Kindred Gangplank Riven Lux and so on where they are great in multiple lane positions and/or can take several builds between beefie tank builds, anti MR build, anti-AD build or even plain aggressive AD or AP building. But the patch notes on her actually receiving any changes and even then were just very small aggravating nerfs on her a few seasons ago, just proves she is like a few particular champions, one of those champions who never needs to get changed because of the meta, she would only need changes to actually operate in current League standards as overloaded gimmickie champions run rampant after coming out or got reworks that made them overly strong.

so they can hint at they know how the champion works and know exactly what they need to become "balanced"

And the worst part is the upvotes they get. Like c'mon people, can you not detect that this guy doesn't know what he's saying for jackshit?

Sometimes on this forum youll find great in depth reasoning to why people think a champion is what they say it is, mostly though it seems that most posts dont have enough thought put into them.

Most "mains" are just people who've picked up a champion, are Plat+ and say "oh, this is what's wrong" when in reality they are just saying things that are either half-true or go with what others are saying. Take the current Lulu for example, there's people who've put hundred and hundreds of games on her, yet they're drowned out by the people who've suddenly picked her up and say "well, here's your issue right there.' It's like hiring a mechanic fresh from a trade school.

Most actual mains I've encountered will mostly say they're strong due to being able to out-duel opponents (myself included). However, what sets these people apart is that they're open to seeing slight buffs or nerfs to them (ie, would say a lot of Ahri mains don't really care about the MS buff on Q. I myself don't really notice it that much and probably wouldn't miss the thing myself)

As well, they will tell you exactly how to counter them, point for point. It's not always "just cc them," but actual strategies when in lane and late in the game. Last Ahri example would be that I tell people if she misses a charm, they should immediately turn on her as it's an important cooldown as well as she doesn't deal well with fighters.

Just because you play one game doesn't make you an immediate main.
