i have a friend (he peaked only emerald last 2 seasons tho) who keeps telling me that if you spam a champ for 1000+ games and master it, you'll be good at league, understand the game better (the matchup, micro, macro,etc) and most importantly if you have play other champs you'll still be fine, even play well.

his 1 trick is lee sin for like 6 years and he actually did well whenever he played other roles and champs. I only play orianna, qiyana and yesterday we played 1v1 those 2 main champs of mine and he STOMPED me really hard lol.

anyway, how do you guys feel about this concept? for me, it's not working as played other champs badly (maybe i'm really suck at league lol)

Well for me onetricking was always like not thinking how to trade and keep being focused on other things. Like champ cooldowns, flash timers, etc so i can properly engage. And I have seen improvement on any champs because of that. So i think it is somewhat true. Depends how you onetrick. Those 3mill bronze lux players aint learning anything

otping isn't necessarily better, it's a pretty valuable asset to have a varied champ pool that can counterpick enemies or cover gaps in your team comps

#

but if you play nothing but the same champ for 6 years, you're gonna know more than anyone about your limits and how you can contribute, and playing to those strengths can cover what you're missing too

Ofc playing a champ for 1k+ hrs your going to get at least ok with it and its good forn learning matchups and even while he hard diffed you its a 1v1. Leagues a 5v5 game so mechanics is not all of league. Also rather then playing for longer it doesnt rlly matter how long you play league for, it matters how much you learn in the span of playing league. Like you can easily get to higher rank or better and diff people in 1v1's if you just learn too.

It also depends on what you want to do with your time in League. OTPs can't really play Clash without having alt accounts that purposely do not play their main.

one tricking helps you learn the 'not champion specific' parts of the game because it reduces how much stuff you need to develop mastery over (only have to get good at knowing one champ and then focus on learning the game in a general sense). That said, you can't just ignore learning about other champs because at some point you have to learn how to counterplay them. Learning in LoL is also very much a function of time and effort, there are no real shortcuts on the road to getting good at the game.

Otp on their champ = their rank. Otp off their rank = 2 ranks below thewir rank

Here's an example, let's say you are trying to learn the fundamentals of laning specifically trading. If you do not have a basic mastery of your champion then how do you know when you are able to trade. Do you understand what your trade patterns look like? Do you know how much damage you do? The distance you can cover? Until you have an understanding of what your champion wants, these constant unknowns are going to hinder you from learning the fundamentals of the game.

It's why everyone always says that you should learn 1-3 champions. The larger your champ pool is, the more exponential the learning process of a champion mastery becomes.

#

If you are a high level Lee Sin player, you have high level'd skills that can be transferred over to another champion.

#

But if you are a mediocre Lee Sin player, you have mediocre level'd skills that will transfer over to another champion

I just had a 2 mil mastery irelia.
No they were not good. They struggled to kill a nidalee.

#

If they're high mastery points but not high elo, chances are they suck at the game, even if they know their champ well.

#

I fear far more the person w/ <40k mastery points and M7 over anyone w/ 500k+ on a given champ

#

Because you generally only get M7 quickly if you're good with the champ compared to your MMR

Furthermore, if you do one trick, you will then have a greater knowledge of what you and the enemy champion wants to do in lane which will lead to a higher understanding of trading fundamentals. Versus a player who doesn't have a good understanding of what their champ wants to do which leads to struggling in trades.

Unless you are a masters+ otp most otps in diamond and below dont know the trading patterns of other champions

hearty badger
#

Why are we comparing a dia under otp vs a masters+ player?

Cuz otps dont know champs kits outside of their own

#

I disagree with ur claim that they know other champs trading patterns since they only know 1-3 champs in depth fror the most part

hearty badger
#

Sure but they definitely know more then any non otps who doesn't even know their own trading patterns and the enemy

#

While otps will atleast have a much better time at learning the enemies trading patterns with time since they already know their own trading patterns
