How do LoL players memorize so much of stuff?

[Youtube: BoyDilly]

Over 140+ champions with different abilities, 175+ items, different runes and builds. How do you memorize it all and what's the best way to do it for the beginner?

I do not play LoL so this is only general advice.

Read guides, learn one champion a time, play the champion which suits your playstyle.

Just memorize it

[TwisterCat]

I memorise it in groups and categories. For example, if I'm playing Morgana, I'm going to remember Zilean by the ranged abilities that were a pain to deal with the last time that matchup occurred, and if I'm playing Warwick, I'll remember Morgana from the annoying stuns in jungles.

Eventually, you've played every matchup with a variety of characters, and you start to memorise what works and what doesn't work, if you have a miserable time playing against something, you'll remember it, matches can be upwards of 40+ minutes.

You just memorize what parts of the meta pertain to your role. Unless you're like me and you don't give a ♥♥♥♥ about the meta, in which case you get yelled at by your team while carrying them because naturally, can't let someone who isn't actively playing e-sports theorycraft as that's tantamount to heresy.

Seriously, just don't play League of Legends.

Dude there is many much more complicated games out here, that's almost nothing.

Through repeated exposure, presumably. I mean, how do Pokémon players memorize at least basic specs of hundreds of pokémon?

There is like 900 Pokémons and about 1200 ability and 240 special skills. And i'm not discussing type combinations.

There are still a crapton of pokémon that are competitive at high levels. Not to mention moves, abilities, items, and more.

And for an example that requires memorizing all of hundreds of things, consider 100 + 216 = 316 item locations in Super Metroid / The Legend of Zelda: a Link to the Past combo randomizer. High-level players have to know all the locations and associated metadata like what items are required to reach each location and what are fastest + alternate routes to and out of each location, because randomizer means important items could be anywhere.

And on top of just knowing the locations, they also need to keep active track of whether they've checked each location.

I mean I know almost every isaac item, character. And I know most pokemon and many of their moves.

If I can do it, most other people can too.

They spend literally thousands of hours playing the game.

The best way to know a champion is to play him. So I recommend playing ARAM to force yourself to play unknown champs.

I'm in the underwhelming minority when I say this, without any doubt, but I don't actually like ARAM. I know how to play a lot of champions, I'm probably a natural at playing about 20 of them, but I just don't enjoy it, I think it's missing the art and balance that League of Legends has accomplished.

I feel my teammates don't know how to play certain champions most of the time, I feel like the game's boring if I don't roll someone I know I enjoy playing, and the reroll system is absolutely atrocious, I don't like how it forces players to commit by locking off healing to items and death, that's just not fun, it takes away the finesse element required to succeed at LoL and waters it down. Some matchups in the mode just aren't winnable either, and unlike the regular draft mode, you're screwed. You can swap from the character pool all day, if the enemy has a good composition, it's over, and I'm typically someone who has unmatched tenacity.


So for every tit, there's a tat, I'd personally say that the best way to learn champions is to have focused play sessions where you study the champion you're playing, how you play with them, and how you can improve. You're absolutely, 100%, not going to learn how to play someone like Rumble in a single ARAM, or 2 ARAM's, or 10 ARAM's, that's something that requires time and study.

You're right, but the post was more about knowing skills from champions than how to master a particular champion.
