Finding Your First Main
I was talking to Riot Neon about how I got into League, and she asked me to share my story.
I played one game of League of Legends in beta as Karthus, and I absolutely hated the game because it seemed really strange that my autoattacks were super slow, and I had to constantly spam Q to get damage off.
I came back a month before the first season started, and the very first champion I played was Akali because she was free that week. The first three games I played I ended up with about 30 kills a game and had close to 90 kills after 3 games. I loved that she was a snowbally assassin that felt really rewarding to kill other players with and stuck with her as my most played champ that week.
I spent a lot of time using her to level up to 30, before I eventually switched into playing Katarina, another reset champion.
I remember returning to Akali after not playing her for a long time during my first tournament at IPL3. I spent maybe less than a week practicing her, and we had to use a substitute mid laner, so I had to play top lane Akali which was very far from my comfort role. I played against Hotshotgg's Galio top lane and killed him solo while he tried to TP away and won the series and the tournament.
Looking back, it's been a while since i've played her. She's been relatively low priority as one of my picks, but I know one day she'll be back as one of the champions I enjoy playing mainly because her kit is really fun for me to use.
So how about you? How did you find your first main?
. Immediately installed the game, bought RP, bought Morde and played nothing else for half a year. HUE!
because my friends forced me to play support when they were teaching me to play. Here I am a year later, still supporting. SOS.
top,
best mistake of my life.
I am a Shaco top main now that used shaco to get out of bronze 5 into silver 3
OUTRAGEOUS! 
is my kind of guy.
My friend finally convinced me to play League near the end of season 2. He thought I would do well as an ADC but I just didn't get the mechanics, I was constantly focused on my abilities. After 10 games or so, I tried Katarina and had a blast, but still was no good. Around level 15 I tried Ezreal purely for his ult, but found immediately that I enjoyed all of his skill shots a ton. Soon enough I was experimenting with him in the mid lane, and ever since I haven't found anything that can quite compare to his versatile builds and skillshot play style. Even when he's out of meta, I can always find success and a ton of fun with the man with the best dance in the league. And anyone who disagrees belongs in a museum.
and just shot miracle arrows to their lanes for the assist and let them carry me to victories.
Graves is love, Graves is life.
because I liked to abuse the dodge stat back then.
was the first champion i ever actually called my main. I've always had a curiosity of being a hawk tamer and she pretty much is one by default. I also liked the tag team fantasy from her lore. I've stopped playing her lately because her bugs are just way too frustrating, and her auto windup is the worst. I dug out of bronze very quickly with 
and 
Was my first main, also got the woad king skin with him!
was my first main as well! I was super into the idea of the bouncing auto attacks, and getting the boomerang to hit on its way back by changing your position. Took me a while to realize you had to build damage on her - I started playing her during my "always get a sightstone regardless of role" phase. :)
