I not only see this when a new champ comes out, but feel this when I play a champion that I have never used before. I think the reason for this is because when someone is playing a new champ, they develop too much focus on the character itself. There is a lot of things a person thinks about when they play a new champ: What order am I oging to get my abilities in? What items am I going to get if I do well, what items am I going to get if I do poorly? How am I going to use my abilities to get a kill, and how will I use them to escape?

When you are thinking about all of these things, for some reason all of your fundamentals get thrown out the window, and you spend less time contemplating what your opponent will do and more time on what you will do.

However, once you are comfortable with a champion, you dont worry about your build so much, you either know it or you can figure it out on your own. You worry about the things that can put you behind, instead looking to what can put you ahead all the time.
