When my Mains are on Free Week

I feel like everyone who sees me playing the champ will think I'm a freeloader who plays new champions just because they can, without testing in Bots...I also check for things like this in Team Builder, whenever I see a high skill cap champ on free week in Team Builder, I join a different group. Because more than likely that person won't do very well. I just feel like whenever I play a champ I own that's on free week, everyone is judging me for playing free champs. Of course, there's always the chance that I'll really impress :), but most of the time I'm just worried that they'll rage at me for playing free champs. For example, next week Nami is free, and ily Nami. Whenever I play her, the ADC probably won't expect anything because they will assume that I'm playing her free....So anyone else feel this way?

I enjoy it when my mains are on Free Week. It gives me the element of surprise. The other team expects me to feed when in fact I only partially do that!

Once you get into game, it's pretty obvious you know the champ, so I don't think there's much to worry about.

Nobody is going to judge you for playing free champs in normals. Most champ kits are self-explanatory, and playing against bots will teach you nothing about how you apply them in actual gameplay.

I hate that fell to, but nobody thinks much of it though.

this is why you buy skins for your favorite champs

1st. You can't play free champion in rank. 2nd. I always practice in normal.[IT is just a normal, Just try new things]

i feel the same way but most of the time i play normal draft not team builder as team builder u always get feeders.

i main zed,orianna, and jayce. and last week orianna and zed were on free week and i never played them ever. maybe once. but free week forced me not to.

idk i just hate playing champs on free week. no idea why.

When I still cared about Free Rotation (you kinda stop caring after having 70%+ of champs) I liked picking my mains. On classic skin too. Two reasons:

You can take enemies off-guard (they expect a free rotation champ and you own them).
If you fail to do so and feed instead your allies aren't surprised (since you're playing a free rotation champ) so it's okay.
