I first read about a champ on this wikia, if their kit appeals to me I look up some videos of them. If they look fun to play (not necessarily easy), then I'll decide that they're my next buy. Like Brand, he was my last buy. I've played against a few of them, admittedly they were pretty bad so I had assumed that he wasn't a very good champion. And I went to his wikia page one day, saw his skills, read his lore, looked up his strategies and he seemed like an awesome champion. I looked up a video and they had Cryocore Brand and that hooked me on him, just the way it looks in-game struck something in me, I pulled out my card and bought him straight away and that skin. I played him, I did very good (in fact I haven't lost a game when I'm playing him yet. And I've played him in something like 20 games) and he's just so amazingly fun to me.

But there's also times where it doesn't work out, like Jayce. I went through the process that I went through with Brand, and I bought him and tried him in a few games, but turns out I wasn't very good with him and he appealed to me in theory, but in actual gameplay it was a bit lackluster and I don't play him anymore (he was actually the first and only champ i've ever refunded).
