What's your #1 main? And WHY'd you start maining it?

Well, mine's pretty deep...The first EVER champion I played was Talon . After a horrible bot match with him, I really wanted to learn him more and more after each match I failed with him...So I finally had enough RP to get him because he was on sale!!! :D After I bought him, I *ALWAYS *used him in whatever lane I was forced to (except jungle). I watched pros play him, I looked up hundreds of build styles, I observed many different burst styles people used with him, and methods they used when fighting other mid champions. So I began to learn those techniques the pros used (yes, there were some...fails sometimes) I began experimenting by combining the different builds I observed and researched on until I found the right one (took at least 10 tries to get a good one...AP Talon...Never again...) But when I first saw Talon's art and how he looked, I just loved how we looked and his abilities, it inspired me to learn him back in Late S3. I think back then people didn't use him a lot either which also made me use him more (I don't like to use over played champions who are easy to play, yes, I'm talking to YOU MasterYi ) After months of Talon videos, training, lost matches of shame in inter. bots (I WAS A LOW LEVEL OKAY?! >:C), and looking up builds...I was ready for my 1st EVER PVP match...After an hour match, I carried my team with a score of 44/9/30 (I wish I could take a picture back then T_T) We won and I swore that I'd stop at nothing to learn Talon no matter WHAT Riot would do to him (Silence removal, pleasee, who NEEDS a silence!). So there's my story of my first ever main...

I enjoy Talon's play style, the high risk rewards, and the his abilities that he uses. It just fits my style that I love SO much. Go behind someone, burst them, escape like a real assassin should, that's what I'm talking about, even if I'm against higher ranks, I do pretty good in customs (No one respects bronze and I don't blame them!) But I've tackled things that counter Talon hard, like these for example Diana Irelia Pantheon , so me and him are like a duo, we're a team, together, me and Talon , whenever I use him today, I know his limits, his strengths and weaknesses. Also, first time I used him, his jokes made me kinda creeped out along with his laugh...Gave poor Hyper nightmares...(Thanks a LOT Nocturne ...I should've gotten a restraining order on that spooky thing -.-') So, that's my story how he became my main...Hopefully Riot will keep that kit the same, it suits him well...GO Talon POWER!!!! But these days I don't use him a lot like I used to due to me thinking it's unfair that if I'm in the zone I'll rip those who get in my way to pieces....

Well, there's MINE, what's your's?

Talon was my main, but they took his silence away. Now hes just a zed who cant teleport back to his starting position.

Miss Fortune because of bullet time and double up, plus her theme is just awsome-"how do like me now".

What's the definition of maining? Is your main the one you love playing all the time whenever you can, or is it the champ you play most in Ranked because you enjoy playing them enough and you play then reasonably well?

I am a Katarina spam happy- She's the funnest champ to play in my opinion. Whenever I can play her, I will.

However, I main supp in ranked with Nami. Shes fun and i'm pretty good with bubbles :3

First champion, Katarina, it was in 2010. I was looking for a cute champ, and then I saw Kat, my name's Catherine, so kinda similar. Now I'm playing Irelia a lot; I was looking at skins and I saw nightblade Irelia, fell in love,bought her, learn her. ahah
