#Mental Block when playing new champions.

I have a champion problem. I suck ass at anything that isnt a tanky jungler with CC overloaded into the kit. I was a Skarner OTP until the rework, and now I'm an Amumu OTP and id really like to pick up new champions and possibly new roles.

I've been trying to play other champions to varying degrees of success but always find myself doing markedly worse on anything other than Amumu.

I feel like I can carry easily on these slower tanks that stick like flypaper and stop you from pressing buttons but when I play champs specifically designed to get picks or dish damage I'm always on the receiving end of the thousand year stuns.

Is there any advice for a hopeless brainlet other than play games + git good? I want to have a better option to explore than just spamming losses on champions I might or might not actually want to main until I can figure it out.

If you're playing assassin jgs, adapt the assassin mindset. If you are playing the damage dealing jgs, adapt the backline mindset. As an assassin, your job is to find vulnerabilities in the enemy team comps positioning, this means looking for flanks, finding areas of no visions and killing the important targets. That also means you will and should play selfishly during a fight. That means you don't run into the enemy and engage for your team, you wait for your team to engage and just look for any opportunity to kill the enemy mage/adc (usually through flanks or when an important cc spell is used on a teammate). As the damage dealer your entire job is to sit behind the tank, deal damage to whoever is most convenient to hit. And watch out for enemy assassins and other important cd. Either way both play styles require you to be more selfish.

Find a champion you seem to enjoy and then spend some significant time on just that champion. Champion mastery is an enormous part of success in LoL, and when you go to learn a new champ you start out with very little champion mastery (especially on more skill expressive champions). There's a lot to learn, from combos, mechanical interactions, to just how to build and when are you actually strong or weak, etc.
