Can we stop talking about everyone as being a main of something they play?

What i mean is this:

I feel like a large majority of players dont main a role or champ. Or do main 1 but still play many other things. (Without being forced)

If i play ADC i will be upset by things an ADC main would be upset by. If i play Top ranged tops will infuriate me. If i play JG i will be upset by being blamed for everything.

That doesnt make me a main of any of these roles. So can we stop claiming anyone who does plays ADC is a whiny bitch, or anyone who plays Shaco or Teemo is the definition of Satan. (Although that last one is a bad example since they ARE the definition of Satan.)

I main Mid and Jg, which means in the ~5k games I've played over the years about 40% of them are Mid, 25% JG. Ya the other 35% are between Top, Supp, and ADC but that doesn't stop me from being a Mid main lol.

Just cause I play ADC for a day doesn't mean I'm not a Mid Main.

I feel like being a "main" is like calling yourself a fan of something; it's a subjective definition. You can say you are a fan of Justin Bieber, while someone else says you are not a real fan but they are because they are more dedicated to him. In other words, saying someone isn't a "X main" because it doesn't meet your definition is just the No true Scotsman fallacy.
