basically for me i started to enter tournaments and I tried ever lane and noticed i was weaker in certain lanes than others where i was more dominate so i got rid of the lanes i was weakest in and focused on what i was already strong at and of course recorded and fixed my mistakes
whats about you all how did you learn what your main was ladies gents ?
I just play what I find to be the most consistently fun. If I play a new champ and if it's a fun champ who's playstyle I like then I'll play it again and again and again until I get bored. The small few that I don't get bored with become my mains and I then play them the most often. One thing I've noticed about my mains is that I find them to be funny. They make me laugh whether I'm feeding or carrying (doesn't happen as often as I'd like yet).
So far these champions would be Bard and Teemo. Those two champions never get boring for me and they almost always make me laugh regardless of what's happening in the game, especially Bard. lol
Other people likely pick their mains differently than I do but LoL is a game, it's a competitive one sure but it's still a game either way and games are supposed to be fun. That said, I'd rather main something that I find fun and enjoyable than something that just happens to be the current OP or something. I mean, whether it's OP or not makes little difference because if your champion is fun for you then you'll tilt less and master that champion faster and once you've mastered a champion and can play them well then you can even stomp your counter-picks because most likely your opponent won't be as skilled on that counter pick as you are on your champion making their pick wasted.
TLDR: Main whatever you enjoy playing the most and won't easily get bored with. If your champ can make you smile and have a fun time even if your 2/9/2 then that one should be your main because after enough games on that champ you'll consistently start going 9/2/9.
I hope that that helps. :D
Top priority: Fun personality/playstyle. Second priority: Don't completely suck.
This foolproof system has led me to play mostly Lulu, [Forecast] Janna, and Zac.
For my role, I started playing this game with a group of friends, it just sorta happened where each person clicked with a certain lane. But when we started to actually learn the game we realized Jungle was an important position to have on teams and since none of my friends wanted to learn it so I decided to, and it was a great decision. As for my champion, Kha'zix was the first jungler I picked up and enjoyed playing, and I've played him ever since.
I just kept playing champions until I realized that I could do exceptionally well with one class over another. From there, it narrowed down to a pool that just keeps rotating. It's a rarity for me to play anything other than Pure Tanks/Tanks with an offensive item built these days.
My mains are champs I have fun with. And since, in games, I like to be the tanky guy who just soaks lots of damage I focused on Tanks and Bruisers (started out with WW in the jungle and top, then took up Nasus and Renek top). Then shit started to happen top and jungle and I opted for support. I started with leona (I literally fell in love with her after playing her, no joke here) then tried Alistar out (such a cool champ to play), Thresh (which is my favourite champ right now with one of the, if not the best VO out there), Nautilus (I like this guy a lot and his VO, while limited, is incredibly well done), then Braum (everyone loves this broken bastard, amirite?). And I usually cicle between these 5 now with the odd picks every now and then to have some fun.

played a bunch of champions until I found ones that were fun/I could play well.
I logged in and simply answered the calling to be fabulous :)
I grew up playing piano for most of my life. I also enjoy playing healer types in most mmorpgs when I was growing up. Sona became a natural for me :) UNTIL I LEARNED I COULD GO AP SONA
