One hit wonder or Jack of all?

[JawboneZA]

I'm at the stage where i see a huge amount of players with characters over level 20 but knowing how long it takes to level one character would that mean they're solely focused on maybe one or two champions? with that said i don't think its right for them to boast or to say theyr'e the better player versus another with a lower character level. Your average team leveling generally puts you with characters close to your level as a player which means we would both be the same skill level but our focus is different for our characters. Take me for example i have two characters of each class around level 10 however i'm able to play any role based on what others pick but then you get people that are level 20 but they sure as hell won't change to assist the team. would that make the one hit wonder better in the sense that they know THAT character well and can play them good or be able to switch play styles to suit a situation rather than forcing your tactic to the fight?

It's kind of a complicated issue.

On the one hand, focusing on a single character provides benefits, the primary one being that the person is (presumably) very good with that character, and can more or less make up for the characters weaknesses. This means that the person should, in theory, have consistently good performance with the champion and be helpful to the team regardless of the map or other factors.

On the other hand, sometimes variety is key. If someone mains a damage champion and plays that one almost exclusively, he doesn't have much experience with other champions, and if the team needs, say, a support, he won't be very good at playing that role. Probably true with flank and frontline as well.

And then there's the third option, of course, which is maining one or two champions but learning all classes, which is arguably the most difficult , but also most rewarding, option. I don't have any champions at level twenty, but I do have a level sixteen Willo (who I would consider my main) and a level twelve Maeve and Jenos with several other champions at or around level ten to eleven.

What I would wager is that you're seeing is the third option, at least in some cases. People with high account levels (I'm level seventy-five, IIRC) will naturally have higher champion level distributions, and they'll also have favorites. What you're likely seeing is those people's favorite champions, but they will play others if the situation calls for it.

As an aside, for matchmaking, I'm not sure that you always get paired with people around your account/skill level. I've been paired (as a level 67) with someone who was level 115. I've also gotten into at least one match with a Grandmaster (I'm unranked) and several games with at least two Masters and a Diamond on the other team. So you're not actually guaranteed to be in games with people who are close to your account level.

the leveling isn't exact but it works as a team average but it also doesn't take rank into account. like i play a lot as a 3 person team but they are a lot lower in their levels than what i am and it averages out that to adjust the enemy team so i would most likely be going against lower levels but they would be facing higher level, it works to about 2 or 3 level average differences

but again it won't take rank into account at all, ive had matches where i'm the only ranked (Silver 2, not great but not bad either haven't really played much of that really) or there could be 4 master ranked players on the other side so it might feel lopsided but the base system works, the problem is you don't get matchmaking based on ranked score in arcade modes only level

well, i'm a lvl 220+ player, and i like to play different champions, i Have Maeve 20, Androx and Evie 17, Cassie, Makoa and Kinessa 16, Sha Lin and Drogoz 15 and the other champs around 10 and 14, except Talus, i hate i'm, i played him until i mastery 6 for the radiant chests (before Ob 64)

The best thing you can do is play with every champion and get good with as much as you can.

I played with "Main" Andro. Maybe his Andro's level about 30+. Nobody in team will have doubt about his Andro skill. So Enemy pick counter(Sha-lin). In game he pretty "Useless" because he can't reach Sha-lin. Every time he float, he's die. Now he helped Frontline and Yep. We all get rekt by Sha-lin. If this guy play Skye or Buck the game should be easy.

This is why "One hit wonder" not work very well.

If you know. Top tier players will not play "One hit wonder". They will played Flex as possible.

I recommend to try all Champions and pick 3 - 4 champions each role to play. because you will know to counter, you will know champion machanic, you will know when to pick offensive or defensive champ or even Draft strategy.
