(Bard was just released)

Friend: Yeah, the new champ sucks ass.

Me: Is that a challenge?

Power Of Syndra8/21/2016, 2:48:15 PM37 votes

Ooooh Syndra

Announced on Gamescom 2012: Saw her playstyle. Was happy it was a mage.

Then saw her in my game first time.

Heard the voice over: "More, I can be so much more!" with a moan. My heartbeat rose.

Incredible exponential rising power?

Extremly attractive, courvy woman with big brests, fantastic hips, exotic lips?

An epicly cool dress with a devilish crown?

Eager for power? Uncontrolable and stubborn mentallity?

Likes to dominate?

OH BABY, SYNDRA! BE MY GODDESS FOREVER! ___

I came in here expecting a long convoluted story wanting to put an anti-joke in. Anti-joke was already taken by OP. I can't anti-joke the anti-joke because that would be a contradiction, like lying about a lie. Now I am full of existential angst as I question the purpose of me typing in this thread.

Bard

Friends: Looks like a troll support champ

Me (seeing the ult): I CAN DECIDE WHO LIVES AND DIES!

Stories of my mains: Sejuani Free Week "Ooh, never seen THIS champ before..." Tries. Twisty Treeline. 3-man stuns. "I love it." Can't afford because pre-30 levels. Forgets to buy. Remembers about 5 months later. Gets first-time placed in Silver 2 thanks to Sejuani. (Season 4.) Sej will always hold a special place in my heart.

Veigar 40 minutes into a game. Pressed R. Ever since that moment, I had a new mid main.

Karma Me: "MIDNIGHT KARMA! TEACH ME HOW TO KARMA!" MK: "k." Me: "Nnnnneat!" Primary ranked role is now support, Karma of course, most often duoQ with mah buddy Jhin main.

Nasus Free Week "Is there a limit to this thing?" "Holy shitballs, I just solo'd dragon!" "Huh? Why'd they stop moving?" "What are turrets?"

Free week champ? Ok, how do you play this? Wow, that's a lot of damage. Damn, that's a lot of damage. HOLY MOTHER OF GOD, THAT'S A TON OF DAMAGE!

As a support, I immediately fell in love with a playstyle capable of carrying a shit team. And her sultry voice.

My journey to my main: Shyvana "You can play as a dragon!? Ok, I'll give league a shot." Ashe "I will never play ADC again..." Garen "Booooring." Jax "Meh." Morgana "How do you time the shield right!?" (I was level 3, don't hate me) Vladimir "Cool!" Karthus "YES, THIS IS THE ONE!"

MissFortune Funny story behind me finding my love for Sarah Fortune back when I was still in my beginnings, I was always annoyed to fight the MF bot because her E slowing me all the time, so I decided I would pick her up and see what her kit does. Thus I fell in love with her run and gun style and her laugh while she melts teams with her ult Sona I just loved her style of being able to be a jill of all trades, plus nobody ever expects my powerchord damage Vi Just such a great stress reliever for me. I love her ability to just make people's lives hell with my damage output, plus whenever someone flashes with my ult going for them i just shout "I'M NOT DONE WITH YOU!"

TahmKench Used to be a Cho'gath main because I like being super tanky and dealing moderate amounts of damage

Kench comes out and is super tanky while doing lots of dmg

Heavybreathing.mp3

Proceed to play Kench: "Oh this guy is op"

Kench starts getting benched: "K gotta go back to Cho"

Kench gets nerfed: "People stopped banning him?"

Plays nerfed Kench "Oh this not that good anymore, but I'll still play him support occasionally."

Start to play him more often and often: Ok, I'm officially maining him.

Kench gets mini reworked: "Ima bring him top!"

Proceeds to destroy top lane: "Oh this is pretty good."

**Make own build and learn the ways of top kench: **"This guy is op again."

Insta-main top lane.

and I've been maining Top kench ever since.

One day I was just like. "I should try Galio. I never see anyone playing him." And now Galio's my main.

Me: Dammit, I live in the Middle East, my ping to NA is 300 sometimes! I can't last hit for crap at this rate!

A friend recommended me the game, so while I downloaded the launcher I looked at the champ roster. (I joined at Braum's release)

Anivia BIRD! I need it! Blitzcrank (I was a Skyrim addict at the time.) Hey dosnt he look like a Dwarven Centurion? Need it! Swain Another bird/Tactition! Cant beat that for me, Need it! But I'll get the other two first.

Played Aniv and Blitz. I learned I was a Horrid Anivia. Blitz was insanely easy though, so I mained him. Then came the time to buy a new champion. What's the only thing better then birds? Shyvana Dragons. Bought her, I only played one match where I stupidly decided to use a refund on her. So..... what to get with my 4800 IP? I then remembered how bad I wanted Swain Bought him, realized he's basically Easy-Mode Anivia. SO I mained him for a long time. When it was about tiem to become level 30, I got into two more champs. I tried Anivia Out again, and realized I could play her now, And that she was awesome.(Her voice is so soothing....) And since it was time to hit 30, I felt one champion a lane was a good idea. I had all the lanes covered but one, ADC. I hate/Hated ADCs. So I wanted someone who didn't FEEL like an ADC. And then I came by this cute little guyKogMaw Loved him. And he quickly joined my top 5 favorite champs.

Now time for Post-30. I decided I could go for a new tank.(This was shortly before the whole Cinderhulk thing.) And I came across Sejuani And fell in love with her. She became my favorite Jungler. Then, I bought Shyvana again, who I now realized how much fun she was. That, and I go her top lane.

So to end it all off......

My #1 highest mastery, and favorite champ.Anivia My 2nd favorite champ, and the only one even close to the amount of Mastery Points Aniv has, KogMaw My 3rd favorite quickly became Swain 4th is Sejuani 5th, for a long time was in fact Shyvana , But now that Ryze was reworked, I fell in love and he is quickly taking that spot. And Blitzcrank was quickly forgotten, I think he's like mastery 2 for me.

I mean.... I know it's more of the story of my Main(s) But still, It was nice writing out. For Old time's sake.

P.S. Yes. I played Azir . I'm not that great at him. The only bird not in my collection. I'd go for Quinn But I hate her new ult.....(Not quite 'new' when it's been months now but still....

It was the "A Hero's Calling" comic for her rework.

http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-TEbCgulOngk/Vl4bNZ7Q7NI/AAAAAAAAJNs/L_KMXBzoDOw/s1600/hero5.jpg

The raw emotion she portrays struck me.

When I was younger, I had this daft desire of being a 'hero". Someone who helps and saves others. I realized that when I stopped a friend from committing suicide. Before I thought to myself, "How could I possibly help. I don't know what to do. I'm useless." But, a voice spoke in the back of my head. Telling me I was the only one who could. So I yelled at her and begged her please because if nobody truly cared, I wouldn't be around yelling at her during that instance.

The expression on Poppy's face is reminescent of that moment. You don't believe you're capable of helping others, of being able to accomplish some far off feat, but you refuse to give up and do so anyways cause, if you don't, who would?

I started playing Leauge because a group of my friends introduced me. They heard soooooo much shit from me because I thought I found really OP stuff lol.

First few games during Season 5:

Plays against Vladimir "OMG he can keep taking my HP and live forver?!?! CAN I PLAY HIM NEXT GAME?" Plays against Malphite" WHAT!? He has like 6k HP he can't die. Is he knocking me up?" Proceeds to then play Malphite, max Q, rush ROA, and be that annoying dude who spams the cheese wheel every game. Plays as Garen because friends say he is easy. "DUDE DID YOU SEE ME DUNK HIS ASS? I'm so good at this game." Finds out about Darius mains him for a while. "Bro this dude is like Garen 2.0 why would anyone play that piece of shit Garen when you can play this beautiful Noxian hunk?" Looks in shop and finds Rengar thinks he has the coolest splash in game. Play him, love his kit, become a dick to every adc ever. Finds out about Shaco. Thinks his kit is cool, starts watching Shaclone. Become huge dick to every laner ever.

Hits level 30 and then starts look for a main. "I want something that has a dash and wont die." See's friend of a friend playing Irelia love at first sight. Buys Irelia next game and plays her almost every game. Buys Lotus and Nightblade skin. Think I'm hot shit and start watching ICU. Climbs to Gold V. Ahhh life was great.

Friends: "Yo, come play some league!" Me: "Whatever, heard the game's toxic as hell, but i'll give it a try." Me: "Who should I play? I like tanks" Friends: "Play Thresh, he's really fun for a support." Me: plays Thresh, gets to mastery level 4. still kinda bored with him Friends: "How about top lane then? they have a ton of tanks." Me: looks at Zac. plays him for about 2-3 months to mastery level 5 Me: "He's pretty good... He's tons of fun... wish there was some more ways to control kite... maybe some range..." Friends: "Pick up Gnar. he's ranged and annoying as hell" Me: Picks up Gnar. Mastery level 6. item 3153 item 3022 item 3006 item 3065 item 3143 item 3071 Friends: "What kinda of monster have we created..." Me: "YOU'LL NEVER ESCAPE THE WRATH OF PERMA-SLOW!"

First time I rolled Jinx it was an aram game and she was free. I'd been kinda neglecting picking her up, I was mostly a Caitlyn man at that point. I got 30 kills. 30/5/17 to be exact. It just felt right. I never looked back after that.
