Having trouble finding champs i can consistently find "fun"

[sweet arch]

So over my time playing league i've played a bunch of different champs in a bunch of different roles, but only recently am i starting to get into ranked, which means i need to try and focus my champ pool down to a fine few, but the problem i face is that when i find someone im like "oooh yes this is amazing" i quickly burnout and do not enjoy the champ, im not sure if it's a mindset problem or if i just havent found "it"

[ember ledge]

i have same issue, its just you have the flavor of the week champ

[sweet arch]

makes me wonder how otps can do it

[ember ledge]

ACTUAL

i mean im kinda addicted to kat rn but i still dont know how people can play hundreds of games of one champ in a row, no changes

[sweet arch]

true

over 100 champs to play and there only interested in one?

[ember ledge]

even if its some hard champ like irel or yasuo, its still the same kit and build wise usually

for me just go through champs, see who you feel like playing or catches your attention and lock them in

[sweet arch]

ill try

[mystic shale]

Fun usually comes from the champions fantasy, yasuo being a menace swordsman etc.

Fulfilling that champions fantasy can be very fulfilling and keeps onetricks satisfied to just play that only

It can be kiting on adc, oneshots on some mage, outplay on a assassin

[sweet arch]

i see

so i need to pick a champ with an interesting skillset, and something that fullfills an interesting fantasy

[mystic shale]

Yeah but has to do it for you, it just kinda happens for most people when they see someone else play it

I watched montages of a Korean player on Viktor and it got me really hooked, when my friend played 15 ish games of Vlad with me suddenly I fell in love when I never thought about the champion before, they have been my mains ever since

[sweet arch]

i think i know exactly who to play

[gentle crag]

I like playing champs with versatile builds like kata. kata can go ap , ad , on hit. but like you said I don't really understand how people can get millions of mastery on champs

[sleek light]

Just spam 1 champ

You can get 1 million mastery in a year if you play like 4 games a day with around 50% wr

[gentle crag]

but even then it gets boring the more you play that champ

[lone jackal]

at some point youll find it more interesting to get better and better with your champ than learning a new one. Anyone can learn how to play any champ after 30 or so games with it but after 100-200+ youll start to see the small things that others dont

so i guess find 2/3 champs you find fun from the get go and try to get better and better witht hem

Yuumi

[surreal notch]

Who'd you pick?

[native tusk]

Neeko is fun af

Ward gank

[charred linden]

you cant leave us on such a cliffhanger!

[solar wasp]

Honestly, I was a yuumi otp during the pandemic. It was undiagnosed depression that allowed me to play 6 hours daily as yuumi. Tbf, maybe focus on a type of a champ? I enjoy healing and shielding my team, so champs like yuumi, sona, soraka, and nami make my brain go brrrrrr. Nowadays, I play a rotation of healer supports.

I play a different champ every single match and often different roles too, I know exactly what you’re taking about

I haven’t played a lot of ranked, but what I did was lock in an easy and fun champ and play 1-3 matches, then stop playing ranked to do smth else or play draft, whatever. Try to play just a few matches or try to play every champ and pick a few you like more to see how it feels to play them 2-3 matches in a row (if it’s not as bad and 5 matches in a row is fine do that)

Since you’re also a top player who do you play? Or what class

[meager trail]

That’s what I did with Swain mostly in the mid lane. He can be a very fun champ but he feels weak right now.

I played Swain enough to get 500k mastery, which isn’t much compared to many others but it’s still my highest for sure

He then became boring after the durability update, and now I’ve moved onto Viktor for norms and ranked. I wanted a champion that you’d see in higher elo and amongst average players

[meager trail]

Neeko is shady af 🤣 I don’t like her being a minion when I’m innocently in lane trying to cs

[native tusk]

Wive killed people before bc of this

Count your mf minions

[meager trail]

Gonna have to because sometimes I don’t notice the extra one lmao

[soft swallow]

that's where the fun comes from - utilizing a limited kit to its fullest potential

of course, i am nowhere near its fullest potential as a sad silver elo player, and i do occasionally wish i had a dash or some movement ability, but part of me otp-ing is the process of stress-testing the champion's limits with what i have

the other part is to trigger my friends who beg me to play any adc other than ashe

[ember ledge]

Ok maybe, but I need to know the psychopaths who are like “yeah I’ll one trick anivia and malzahar, these are some fun and hard champs”

[soft swallow]

honestly usually, the more cancer it is to play against, the more fun it is to play

[sleek light]

It can't be infinitely boring though, can it, if you got 200k mastery on a champion then 1 more game would feel like a drop in the bucket and wouldn't be boring imo

At a certain point the champ would stop being boring

Like how in single player games you're always the same character with the same mechanics

I've spent hundreds of hours on dark souls games where you're just a guy with the same simple abilities to roll and swing your sword

Or in fps games like counterstrike where you use the same guns all the game

[sweet arch]

I decided on viego because i like the shadow isles

[ember ledge]

viego cool champ

[sweet arch]

its gonna be rough though, he struggles alot in ranked

[ember ledge]

he can carry tho

[sweet arch]

true

[desert hawk]

he can build ADC he will be fine

[teal minnow]

You can also just play draft and go whatever u want

[sweet arch]

that is what ive been doing

i wanna try and get serious though
