How to main a champ if you get bored easily?
So i like playing a lot of mid champs but after 5 games o dont want to play him again. I heard you need a main to be better at solo queu, so any ideas in how i can get a main?

I just find one I find thematically interesting then play the hell out of them.
Same problem. What works best for me, is to pick 1 role, then main 4 or 5 champs within that role.
i literally play dozens of champions for the very reason your talking about. don't restrict yourself, using a main in soloq is easier if you dont have the time to play 4-5 games every day, or want to spend time learning how to play a lot of them.
mains are a methood people use to improve their performance on a certain champion. my experience (not much) suggests that if you learn how to play more champions your personal mechanics improve (farming, map awarness, ability to realize when the oponent is out of place, ect.)
Mains to me are a shortcut to getting a higher elo.
main = champion you use a lot. dozens of games played on them.
Find your soulmate, like LoLHarmony.
One of the champions in the game is going to work better for you than all the other ones. A main is a champion you won't get bored with after thousands of games. Dozens of games is barely scratching the surface of the character you are playing. If you count a character as being your main and you haven't even played them 40 games (20 games on Saturday, and 20 on Sunday) then it's not really an accurate description.
It might take a long time, and there are ways to figure out what kind you're likely to enjoy most. But if you're playing 5 games and getting bored it means you aren't on the right champion. It might not even be a mid champion that you would like best, so I'd just play every character you can a few times each free week. It could be your character soulmate is not in LoL, though.
I just find a champ I find really complex and interesting. Mine is Thresh, then Volibear just because there's so many ways to make jungle interesting and so many builds that work with the Scarybear.
Do the Ryan Choi. He play Rengar every lane. I try to do that with Talon.
I second Ez. Ez AD, AP, and Blue are all completely different and are played completely differently. At the same time his mechanics, landing the skill shots, and CDs are generally the same so playing either way will improve him as your main.
Experience champions as the the week rotates around. If you like mid (which I supposedly assume you do), go test all of the "Mid characters" - Mage, Assassin, Supports and play/test around with them.
When you do test with them, look for what stands out for that champion that catches your eye, It can be as simple as 
shock wave or 
Death mark (It doesn't have to include ultimate's either.)
Go test out in Bot games and then Normal Games or skip Bot games altogether and go to a Normal game (Preferably Team builder.)
Its impossible to master all champions and be able to play them all at a competitive level. Currently I'm plat 1 and can maybe play a dozen or so champs at the plat 1 level. Thats why people pick a champion or role as their main, or mains.
If you haven't found a champion you don't want to main, who cares? I always wanted to be a pantheon main, but I really like certain champs. Shyvana is probably my favorite champ in league, and I mained her for the better part of this season, but she fell of and I stopped playing her. Maining a champ isnt necessarily mandatory, but you need to adapt to the meta and be able to play the meta picks if you want to win in SoloQ.
Pick something that has a lot of interesting mechanics an interactions with other champions.
The more counter-play mechanics they champion has, the more fun it is. It forces you to actually use your brain to get the most out of your champion.
This way it is also easier to say, "Oh! I could have done this instead and we would have lived."
