Finding a Main

I've been playing this game since early season 2. Most of that time has just been me playing casually with friends however and recently, I find myself wanting to find a champ and get really good at them. I've played every champ in the game but still can't really think of one I want to stick with. Anyone who has found their main want to impart some wisdom on me? Thanks in advance!

Was a White Mage in Final Fantasy XI Was a Priest in World of Warcraft Was a Priest of Mitra in Age of Conan Was a Cleric in Rift

Somehow ended up liking Soraka. I guess friends just trained me to play this way. :P

What is your playstyle? If you can get a solid answer for that you can just look at which champions best suit that playstyle.

First off, here's a link to a helpful video from Omni that talks about how to find a main. His video is more on the context of Super Smash Bros., but the concepts still apply to some degree in League of Legends, and can be really helpful in helping you find a main:

How I found a main is that I tried out a lot of different champions and saw which champions fit with how I wanted to play the game. In particular, I found that I liked a lot of tanky champions that didn't deal a whole lot of damage and were good at enabling the rest of my team to succeed. In addition, I also enjoyed the jungle a lot because it had a strategic element that wasn't found in a lot of the other roles. That's what drew me to Nautilus because he was both a tanky champion with lots of crowd control and was (and still is) a good jungler.

You have the advantage of playing with a group of friends because they can give you advice on what they remember you playing as. Ask your friends for advice on what you should main based on what they have seen from your play on the champions you have played.

Thanks for all the replies :) I think I'm gonna start playing more of Shen since he makes some sick plays and I enjoy playing him a ton. I lost a couple of games as him recently but I ain't too broken up about it. If I can keep playing him without getting bored then maybe hes the one haha.
