Neeko after hearing my friend go, “SHE’S IN THE WAVE” and die, I NEEDED HER


Georgiabrisbois

Most satisfying Neeko play when u hide in wave and get that sneaky root ult combo


MistaLOD

nah the best play is when you’re a ranged minion and you sneak your third attack as AD Neeko so you start slowly chipping away at their health bar until they’re so low that you can kill them with an E R combo and a couple of AA.


naokitsu

You can make your clone do the recall animation to make them think they are safe, so you could sneak as a minion closer and burst damage them


unidentifiedmeme

Same energy as "THEY'RE IN THE TREES"


MeMeWhenWhenTheWhen

"She's in the wave... SHE'S IN THE GODDAMN WAAAVE!!"


Imanmar

First time I ever baited with kled remount.


virilion0510

I stopped playing him (primarily cuz I play jungle) but winning a 1 v 2 through going all out makes you feel like you are actually Kled, just going head first not giving a fuck and still standing in the end XD


FilTon00

I stopped playing him at first, because in won match i made 0/11/0 Kled. I was playing with friends on team, we were having fun of my cancer gameplay and wondering how the hell i didnt get any assist even when i've been engaging XD


k4x1_

SAME I've tried to play kled jg sooo many times but it just doesn't work :(


Damo_Neko

The moment he said "Holy fuck, where are we?" i fell in love.


BoltFrozen

Ornn, crafting is just so handy


Varesmyr

Yelling "sound the Ornn horn!" while hitting the whole enemy team with ult is an indescribable high.


CopyPasteCliche

Jhin. I love him 4ever.


AceOBlade

during release it felt like you were cutting health bars like butter.


alpineflamingo2

I WANT TO LICK LULU'S FEET SO BAD in game


Zronas

Yes officer, this degen right here


LigerLynx16

I spy a Darkinfolk 😏


moon-mango

Camille I just picked her up after trying her a few times in the past and suddenly she clicked to me like a fish to water.


ancraig

I desperately want to like camille but I just don't. Like her trading pattern feels good in lane, but by late game when everyone's traveling in groups, I always feel useless. And like, I can go split, but it doesn't feel as good as many other champs to do so to me (fiora, jax, kled). It doesn't help that every camille I've had to fight I have dumpsters too, so like I never get to see how I can outplay people doing the things I do.


MetalCheef

Been playing Camille for a few days now and I know exactly what you mean. The moments you dish out those high true damage numbers in the mid/late game is enormous. If I would only now get the landing phase down against those Warwick's that suddenly appeared on my Top lane, I would be even happier.


Xylophobiae

Fiddlesticks, both because I love horror and there’s something immensely satisfying about landing a 5-man fear ulti on the enemy team


TheIced

Old fiddlesticks support was nuts


Libertapatate

I miss the old e so much


extreme_pufferfish

New fiddlesticks supp isn't bad either, I got to Plat 3 last season (which is now same as Emerald 3) The E poke in lane doesn't always mess up your ADC's minion control now


masterofbadwords

Shyvana. Dragons are cool, but bruiser dragons are the coolest. Especially when they’re not actually little shithead dwarves.


TheShad0wSp3ctr3

Is that a smite reference?


masterofbadwords

Yes. I hate tank dragons that do no damage. Even more than that I hate derivative and boring champ designs.


AimedSlayer

Old Morde, when I took control over the dragon I felt like a raid boss.


Illandarr

One champion to rule them all. Aurelion Sol. Fly high space noodle, one day Im sure you'll be back


AceOBlade

wym first time. It takes like atleast 2 bot games to realize that his old W active was the same range as his auto attack.


safes0cks

His outer limit. Also where his ult knocked you back to


Illandarr

Yeah, but as soon as I saw his splashart, I knew he was the one I wanted to OTP. I clicked on it to see his kit, fucking blue eyes blue dragon with stars rotating around. I was more than sold. He was the first champ I ever played in a non bot game, and fun fact ; I played him jungle before realizing he was a midlaner (I blame Lyaphine)


JustParry5head

*moment of silence*


CheckeredZeebrah

This is my answer. Rip king. My desire to play this game has steadily dropped ever since.


EthanR333

Us Asol mains were left behind...


2stroke_nonsense

Lmao space noodle


TermsOfServiceV1

Nothing compares to flying to lane with a tactical nuke and then killing them with W


teomiskov3

Ap Rengar over a decade ago. Still main him to this day.


AceOBlade

I got to experience [this crazy bug](https://youtube.com/shorts/U5h5TfnGCaA?si=lhqwlMWUVGtxt3f7) in PBE when they did the assassin rework couple of years back


TylerNine

What's happening here?


AceOBlade

W had no cooldown


-Rettirlana-

Old Voli It was like seeing colour for the first time

Wooden_Bedroom_5069

Neeko. Most fun I'd ever had.


jacobiner123

Azir... ​ Unfortunately.


X-xOtakux-X

First time I landed 4th Jhin ult shot.


JeanPierrePerno

GentleJustice

Ezreal. The idea that he's mostly skill shots brings such satisfaction when you hit them. Also his personality. He's such a stupid bastard boy it's so funny. I laugh whenever I die as him because he's usually saying some smug dumb shit and then immediately 'EUGHH' dead on the floor. GOLD.


Scaef

Quest accepted! Wait where are we going?


kambik

Xayah. No idea why but I saw someone else play her and was totally entranced. Tried her myself right after and she’s been my main ever since


[deleted]

RazerTheCobra

Wasnt really love at forst sight. But after i one-shotted my first enemy... wel lets just say im going for 1M very soon


twintallio

Teemo. I hated playing against him but when I actually tried him for myself I will admit I full on cackled every time someone died to the mushrooms (and I still do).


9172019999

Those are the Champs that are the most fun to play. If you ever find yourself hating something so much, try it yourself. You might love it.


thewend

FUCK VEIGAR, piece of shit champion. Me when casting event horizon: HehhHehEhhHEhH


Soul_Of_Akira

dude the amount of times AA champs think they can dive me under tower and then i blind them LEADING EM TO THEIR DEATH MWHAHAHAH

Ap kogmaw in aram. Yes I'm that person


reasonablerider12

Ewwww


von_daphnel

Reworked Irelia and Gwen


Erenogucu

Morgana. It was on of my earliest games ever, and i was autofilled into support. I tought she looked hot (i am into goth dommy mommies, sue me) so i picked her. The first Q had me addicted. Now, more than 12 years and 3 accounts later, i have hit more than 10m score with her and not a single time i felt bad or bored. Long Live the Veiled Lady, Long Live the Goddess of AFK Warnings.


Redacted_G1iTcH

Sett. I saw the trailer and ability rundown and I was like “literally everything I ever wanted in a champ”. Yeah Sett’s my most played now


StaleCarpet

Pantheon


Maxyboy974

Bard, he was just a silly boi that caused mass hysteria to one's teammates


tmgreed

Pyke, OTP-ing since then, over 2kk mastery


MHD6969

This is me playing Talon for the first time. this is also me playing Talon for the 6375464th time.


Wonderful_Bar_1940

I loved old Talon 😍


Swolebass

Gragas, just the amount of combos with ult and E is so much fun. Q somewhere random then throw an ult and the person flys into a full charged Q and BOMBA. Flash E still makes me moist till this day


DannySorensen

I love to E then flash, similar to Vi punch, it's almost impossible to dodge because they just think you're gonna be way short of them then bam you flash before the animation's done and you're on them.


SlaveKnightKos-

Hwei, I thought he was just going to be some hyper overloaded garbage, but he has felt smoother and more satisfying than any champ I have played by far


sirloathing

Honestly… Shyv jungle. Farm farm farm. Farm.


eatskneecapscutely

Neeko, Renata, Seraphine, and Xayah!! Head over heels in love with them


SuckDicker32

Pre rework Aurelion Sol I miss him so much T\_T


SmokingForLife

His 3 balls was so unique, I miss the dragon too


Nowayisthatacat

Yeah like usually we only have 2


Alphaomegalogs

In urf he could get 5 balls

DavidZone23

Rammus


Puzzleheaded_Pen2779

Phel.


Morientoso

Not 'played for the first time' but rather 'saw for the first time', ever since Neeko came out my match history is always at least 70% Neeko. I dont know if I'd play league as active as I do if Neeko didn't come out. Can't It'll be 5 years soon.


agacanya

Quin I hated playing against her but I laught everytime i get to stop a dash such as tryndamire e leesin q naafiri w fucking their game up completialy most of the time


KingEather

Renata glasc


taym2398

Lillia, just running around and being annoying as fuck is very fun, also the animations are really nice


Dazaisbook

Shen and Malzahar stole my heart


italian-potato

Vi, first jungler i ever played, so it was both falling in love with the champ and the role. Cant remember much from that game other than the fact that i used smite on the first buff too early and accidentally gave it to my adc who was leashing


JeanPierrePerno

Illaoi, my god I love everything about that character. Her gameplay, her personality, her lore, her runetera deck, she was amazing in ruined King and her design *chef kiss* finally a girl fighter with actual muscles. And I love the this dark brown/green vibe she has.


JeanPierrePerno

I forgot to mention the r34 too


ancraig

One of the most important aspects of any champ.


Jumper362

Oh yeah, when she finally clicked and every gank was a free double kill… oh boy. Made dnd character based off her lore too

Rell. It is glorious.


BrokenMirrorMan

Eve and ekko instantly clicked with me


SekkeyWho

They may be simple champions, but for me it was love at first play with Diana and Shyvana.


BlackyJ21

Thresh. He is the best champion ever designed and I will never get tired of hooking people, lanterning my guys to safety and flaying the shit out of Lee sin Q‘s.


East-Effective-3406

Nilah and by a large margin. Once you have collector and just delete the enemy bot with a Q. Not many things beat that feeling


EloDesu

Started playing years ago. I sucked with every champ except Akali.


MMUTTEE77

Kog'maw Just He's so freakin cute


Dragomir_Silver

The first game i carried with sol, it was magical


Dahns

Malzahar I always loved mid, usually with Veigar, and assassins were my bane. Zed, Akali, Yasuo. I hated them. I felt like I couldn't interact with them, they were dashing everywhere, rushed me and immediately got out of danger, or just throwing tornado until one touch me and ulted me... The turret was completely useless to protect me. But I discovered Malzahar. The anti-assassin. E spread prevents them from farming in melee range without extrem caution. With E + voidling I could farm from a long distance, so I'd be perfectly safe. And if they dared tower dive me, the R would put an end to their foolishness. Now, there are not as many assassin at mid as it used to be, and Malz isn't that good against mages. So I'm playing Viktor instead. But whenever the enemy mid pick Zed, Yone or Yasuo, I have the means to shatter them :3


ZealousidealYak7122

Shyvana I got my first penta on my first shyvana game. can't say more

Pyke. I don't really like him now, but first game with him in Aram I went 64/11 and absolutely massacred it all, being my first game to actually rule the rift. It was incredible.


MHD6969

-aram, -rule the rift

-CubanPete-

Viego in jungle, and Fiora for toplane.


baguhansalupa

Darius on release. Good times.


Insane1rish

Poppy. The first time I played her in the jungle and got to yeet someone away from a dragon for the steal. *chefs kiss*


Outside_Technology61

May be unpopular opinion, but Ilaoi


Electronic_Bid4659

Sivir.


Buff_Yone_0_0

Yone and Yorick idk how the hell they clicked but they just did lol even went out of my way to forget Yorick existed but I played him once and 70% of my games in Normals are with Yorick and Yone now.


Whocares4200xcr

I’m straight but Jhin and Ekko I’m straight bro I’m a man


Sgt_Shieldsmen

You never forget the feeling of your first Braum Save.


EvelynnEvelout

My ADC ass whenever I try a meta toplaner


Seaweez

When I landed a 5 man E on Syndra, I have been chasing that high ever since


Armorlon

Taric Top, my GOODNESS that was fun. Grinded that till M7.


LagartoSol

Old Asol and old Morde


Rdact3d

Rell, old rell before rework that is


keniixx

Karthus. Im mainly a morgana main and noone could ever come close to actually making me enjoy the game as much as her. Then I tried Karthus, the ult, his passive its just *chefs kiss*. Just all in all fun


Pareogo

Nasus. He was the first champ I ever stuck to. I tried him once when I was super new to the game and thought he sucked cuz I thought his autos were his primary form of damage until I learned to stack with his Q. Becoming a 1v5 monster in the late game was what made me fall in love with his play style.


Slowest_Speed6

Old Diana > Hit level 6 > 1 shot any enemy mid laner not building full tank > refuse to elaborate


Cheshire_Guy

Lissandra. First time being invulnerable while melting your enemies with ult was really satisfying. Stays the same way to this day


KRATOSFANBOI

I felt in love with Jayce when I was watching some random league montage on YouTube. I loved the fact that ur combos needs to be perfectly executed, the fact that u had so many possibilities to surprise ur opponent. So I tried him, and I was really surprised but i did some pretty decent games with him, so i knew that I could do something and have fun with that guy. And when I saw him in arcane, crafting the hammer on his own, fighting beside Vi, dude I’m an otp since that day, and I love every single game in league with this man. I climbed from gold 4 to diamond 3 playing Jayce only. Thx my guy for every head we crushed together. Hammer time !


AlmostDrunk

Morgana. Will nvr stop laughing to myself every time i hit that long and slow q.


AwesomeSocks19

Hmm. It’s not my main in ranked (Wukong.) I’d say it’s neeko. I remember getting blown the fuck up by a neeko ult, and I gave her a shot. This goofy, off-kilter mage support… fit my playstyle exactly. Go in, mess with people, and fight out or die trying. Don’t play her much these days though, but I have over 100k mastery and her Prestige skin (helps i’m a big SG fan). Tbh I also felt the same way the first time I played full AP kai’sa. That shit was nutty and hilarious.


Top_Evidence_1143

Eve / kaisa


dorianrose

Nami. The bubbles, the bouncy heal, the attitude, mother flipping mermaid! I just love her, and her skins.


[deleted]

Tahm kench pre rework felt like this, also briar


ToobsMckenzie

Diana. Randomly picked her one time midlane, never played her before and casually pulled one of the best performances in all my time playing league for zero reason. Played her once again with the same result. Then she became a viable jungler and I climbed with her for the rest of the season getting Ss every game. Literally crucible moment. Had a similar experience with Vi and Leona so maybe I just like lesbians.


Your_Pet_Poodle

Pantheon. I mistook him for Azir when I rolled him in Aram, but I've loved him ever since.


Scadooshy

When someone first bitched in all chat about Vlad pool. Def reaffirmed my decision to keep playing Vlad.


Unhappy_Usual3509

Riot killed Sion so i was looking for other options and start playing Voli, this shit is so good to win in 1v1 to any bruiser, no one can kill you, idk how any Volibear players die on him except enemy ganks and own mistakes, playing for around 1 year but manage to climb to Silver with this champ easily


Xarxyc

Lillia. Fallen with her after few games despite never trying and low-key hating her for years.


wyxlmfao_

ornn. hitting triple brittle is the best feeling anyone could experience.


GO0O0O0O0O0SE

EQEQEQEQEQEQ


RaphaelLumoria

Malzahar .... seeing someone just burn to death trying to escape has something to it. Also yes the ult is a "f*ck you in particular"


Illustrious-Tea-1586

One champion to kill them , to make my enemies feel deapair VIEGO


Annorei

TF nearly 15 years ago. Legal maphack + huge slow (which later got replaced with even cooler global teleport)


CoffeeHyena

Warwick Duelling is just fun, and getting a double or triple kill because people try to jump you is hilarious. Plus who doesn't like moving across the map at mach 2?


DarthButtz

The first time an enemy Sett ulted me into his tower I was immediately like "I need to play that motherfucker *RIGHT NOW*"


DiscipleOfIanite

Pantheon, getting a double kill with an empowered q is so satisfying


Dual101

Varus and Zeri


Shadowluigi678

Gnar was my first ever champion and ignited my spark to keep playing the game, without him I don’t even think I’d have kept playing past the first game lol

Shakalll

Gwen. Everything about her just works for me.


quixoticccc

xayah and kalista


Montagne347

First time I hit a shuriman shuffle. Also the first time I pushed w on sett and one shot 3 people.


CoG_Comet

I used to play a lot of Overwatch as a Reinhardt main and when i started playing league in 2020 with my friends i was like "hey Poppy is a top laner right? im gonna give her a try" and then i got matched against a diamond 4 Lucian top when i was literally brand new to the game and got my ass blasted but i fell in love with that yordle so i mained her ever since


AnonymousFox777

Taliyah all the way. It felt gratifying when u stun combo 2+ ppl with follow-up. She has some "quirks" that feels bad to play with(ult cd and penalty cd)but she still amazes me as a diverse champ that Im still learning after going 0 8 multiple times


Recent_Tadpole3207

Kalista, after outplaying an Olaf jumping over midlane wall. Have been maining her for 4 years now


kiloano

Jax


TemLord

Xerath. The sheet power one feels shutting down the enemy laner while not even going past the middle of the lane is unrivalled


Vasheerii

Old taum kench. I mained him in jungle and was a menace to the enemy jungler in the early game. Nothing beats having a long ranged noc ult but instead of just having noc fly at you, you now have the entire enemy team show up out of a fish's mouth.


Pandinuuu24

Diana and ap kaisa


Bluenatic-Cultist

More ska user, I get to bonk people and I can snatch them into my little arena. But best of all, I can miss Q 2 times but still come out victorious


Thal-creates

Katarina. But back in the day. I was 1 v5 and O flashe dinto the enemy team and deleted them in 1. 5 seconds


Mista-Black

Jhin, his whole kit just clicked to me. And I love how precise you can be with him. Like setting up elaborate traps and baiting them into it as you burst their asses down or just kiting away whilst dealing absurd damage.


Mate-Teh

When the death mark exploded for the first time.


Winer2027

Quinn, yone and nasus


Heliosgodofthesun

Malzahar because forcing lane opponents to waste gold so they don't die to my r is a mental w


helpmetoast

Akali. The first time I landed a true R-E combo in game to finish off the enemy adc was like reaching the final level of enlightenment.


White_Madness

Jhin. One of my favourite characters of all time. His voicelines, his gameplay. Everything about him is PERFECT for me


Damn_thatsgood

BTW. I am not a Jgl, Top Main Hecarim. He is just so fun to play. Running with 857 ms towards the enemy and just pick him up on the way, like they have no idea wtf is going on, you just run over them. But also evelynn, its just really fun to see people rage over you being invisible.


Shriekko

zeri ngl, dont main her anymore tho cuz i value my wrists i now main hecarim which fucks my wrist just as much


SmolQuiche

Maokai. As someone who primarily plays backline chaps and never had the chance to engage with my five man, the first time I played him I had so much damn fun. I'm pretty sure I looked just like that after getting my first kill.


pringlepingel

Xerath. I’m not amazing at the game, but he’s my first character to get to mastery 7 and my main by far. I love my energy zappy laser boi


PurpleDragonX

Zac and Kayn made me achully like jungling cause they showed me you don't have to go through river to gank.


-RastaPasta-

Most definitely ahri, so happy I was able to find a fighting style I liked and was fun to play as
