User blog comment:OwenNewo/Do you understand the bond? My experience with the Armordillo/@comment-5194571-20120916101706

I'm sortofkindofmaybe simlar to you. Funnily enough, it was for me, also Rammus. I had just started playing the game this Febuary, joining around the time Ziggs was released. Being the brand new player I was, I failed hard at everything. At first, I thought I liked mages, then I liked champions with sustain, I changed my mind a lot over the first two months. During that time, I got Annie, Warwick and Fiddle. Then I decided what I liked was the ability to damage structures. And that is when I came upon Rammus. Before then I also had a really hard time with AD Yi. I gave up every time I saw him on the enemy team at the load screen. He would kill me in 2 secs flat and I'd have done nothing. I very quickly caught onto how to play Rammus. And, naturally, I fell in love. I could deal with structures so easily, and Yi never gave me a problem ever again. I'd win 2v5 fights with my friend healing me for crazy amounts as AP Soraka. But also, love is not always eternal.

Over time, my tastes changed again. I then began to love jungling. I was never one for Rammus jungle. I had a habit of hitting a minion with Q on my way in for a gank. That led to me finding another champion I loved just as much as Rammus; Trundle.

It's september now. I know the game much better than I did. And once again, my tastes have changed. Before, I wanted to play every role well. I found that didn't work out for me. I was too weak at everything and never learned champions and matchups well enough. Now, I've decided to specialise into 2 roles, mid and top.

Not long after I first started playing, I had a look through all the champions. There, I found Singed. I read his skills and thought to myself "he looks crappy". His Q sounded so useless. But, the next week, he was free. I decided to take a look at the champion spotlight. It was then I realised I had found a champion like no other. One so unique that he brings things to the game nothing else ever will. After only my first game with him, Singed was an insta-buy. For months then on, he was my favourite champion. To an extent, he still is. Around April time another champion was free. Viktor. At first, I didn't really like him. I preferred the utility of his W over damage and as a result, I built him just totally wrong. There, I decided not to try him again. However! I learned! My friend told me how to use his E as I didn't understand the drag concept of aiming it. (I hadn't played Rumble before, so it was the first of it's kind I saw). I played him once more, but still didn't enjoy him so much. Then, Zyra was announced a few months later. I immediately made an account on PBE. I wanted to test her. She sounded amazing. With my free IP and RP, I bought 3 champions: Zyra, Singed and I decided to try out Viktor again. Now, with much more experience, I loved him. Like you share that bond with Rammus, I now share that bond with Viktor. I don't like champions where you don't need a brain to play them, such as AD Yi. Viktor makes you think. And he makes the enemy think. You never know which angle that laser will come from and tend to get very scared, very quickly. Especially if you don't build MR. To this day, I have about 50 more wins than losses on PBE. Most of those were with Viktor. Even if I have a bad game and my team are losing horribly, I'm still on par with the enemy team ahead of me and the rest of my team.

I'm not playing Viktor. I am Viktor. For as long as I play League of Legends, Viktor and Singed will always have a special place in my heart. Rammus and Trundle not so much. I may have loved them, but it wasn't a marriage of minds like Viktor and Singed. I don't feel like I know them inside out like Vik and Singed. I wrote too much.

TLDR: I was the same, but moved on to other champions over time.
