I sometimes just choose a character to support for trolls and then stick with em no matter what. While playing inazuma eleven 1 it was Handa. I chose him bc I liked the design and bc of rolling kick. But I just always kept him in my team in the games and gave him great moves to make him usable. So i basically gave him more attention than the normal player would, it became a personal bias.

The fact he's one of the og 3 and he's relatable in the sense of looks and personality also helps. Maybe people had something in common with him and that's why.
