How many games or how consistently do you play someone before you say you a (blank) main?

Do you base it off of how many games you've played? How frequently you play them? Or just if you are good with them? Lol.

For example, I used to play a lot of Varus, and I'd say he was my main. He still has my highest champion mastery by far, but I haven't played him much in several months. Atm I'd say I'm a shaco main...Yay hate me lol. I've played over a hundred games with him in the last month. But before that I was a nocturne main, probably played about as any games in the same amount of time.

So would it be fair to say I still main those Champs, because I still have 100k+ champ mastery with then? Or when someone says "I'm a champ x main" do you assume they are one they currently play fairly y exclusively?

It's a bit of an arbitrary thing to be frank. Do you need to know this for anything?

Nope, I was bored, thinking about it, and never made a board post so I figured I'd make it my first lol

Well I guess I'll just contribute my thoughts then.

I'd draw the line where you don't need to think of that champion's abilities in an active matter. I'd say Yi is one of my mains; I trained Alpha Dodging and Meditate blocking so much by playing Master Yi mid for the majority of S4 that defensively negating abilities with Yi is just second nature to me at this point.

Agree that it's arbitrary. I call Jinx my main mostly because I'm most skilled with her, with how often I play her and how much I enjoy her being secondary additions.

I mean its really up to the player itself. Its like saying how do get comfortable with shoes? some people take awhile to get them right, while others like it right away. I mean to me its if you love playing as them and do consistency well with them. its kinda hard to really give an answer to an open ended question.
