What Does OTP Mean in League of Legends?
As part of our explanation article series, we will explain one of the more popular terms around the League community. This is, as the title implies, OTP.
Before I begin, I must quickly note that there will be a lot more to this article than just a blunt explanation of an acronym. But you’ll have to keep on reading to see what it’s all about.
So, let’s start by explaining what the hell OTP means. OTP stands for “One-trick-pony”, and is a popular acronym used by many League players. It represents a player that plays strictly one Champion – i.e., he one-tricks that Champion.
One-tricking Champions is common since people tend to find the Champion that suits them best and keep to them. The wide variety in League’s roster tends to narrow down options for people that are looking for one distinct playstyle. Thus, they stick to the Champion(s) they find most suitable without exploring other options.
This can have both beneficial effects as well as detrimental ones.
Let’s review them, shall we?

The Benefits
There are inherent benefits to playing as an OTP. You will thoroughly learn a Champion and everything about them, giving you a huge edge over the opponent who might not be as skilled on their Champion. This, in turn, will lead to your achieving dominance and likely winning the game. One-tricking certain Champions in meta moments can have massive positive feedback on your Division and Rank.
Of course, learning a Champion that fits into a particular playstyle will indirectly give you knowledge on similar Champions. This means that you will passively learn an entire gameplay aspect while playing your one-trick Champion. Having two or three one-tricks is a great thing, but do seek to branch out into more than one style.
The Detriments
The detriments of playing only one Champion or playstyle is that you forsake others.
As a result, you will find yourself in situations where you just don’t know what to do. To beat an opposing Champion, it is best that you too know how to play them. If you deny yourself that and only keep to a narrow choice, it will lead to some tricky moments where you are bound to lose.
There are also moments when you will not have the option of playing your OTP Champions. In high-level play, such as high Elo or Tournaments, you must cooperate with allies for the best team composition. Your OTP might not fit into every team comp, and you will be forced to play something else. If you happen not to know any other Champions, you are just setting up your team for a defeat before the game even starts.

Conclusion
In conclusion, we can safely say that OTP-ing Champions can have both good and bad effects. In some situations, one outweighs the other, but I think the latter carries much more weight.
Therefore, I think you should be mixing things up a bit.
Focus on certain Champions that you love the most and enjoy playing, but always have a backup plan. Occasionally pick up a new Champion, change it up, force yourself into learning more than one aspect of the game.
The more you know, the easier things will be. Remember, knowledge in League of Legends is a key thing, and you should never deny yourself the opportunity to expand on it. That’s why this site is here, anyway.
I hope you’ve found this article informative and fun to read, and I wish you all the best on the Summoner’s Rift.
¿Qué significa OTP y a quién se aplica?
La abreviatura OTP se escucha a menudo en las transmisiones de League of Legends (LoL) y también se puede leer en el chat del juego. Pero, ¿qué significa eso realmente? Te mostramos la explicación de lo que hay detrás del “One Trick Pony” en LoL.
Esto es lo que significa el término: Cuando escuche el término «OTP» en relación con LoL o juegos similares, generalmente significa un «One Trick Pony».
Entonces, un jugador que en realidad siempre juega el mismo personaje y no prueba con ningún otro campeón.
Tales jugadores provocan repetidamente discusiones acaloradas en la comunidad. Descubra aquí por qué es bueno ser un One Trick Pony y las desventajas que conlleva.
Los beneficios de los One Trick Ponies en League of Legends
Lo hacen bien: Como OTP, te especializas en un campeón y, con raras excepciones, solo juegas con este campeón. La ventaja de esto es que conoces y dominas muy bien a tu campeón, lo dominas. Si juegas con Yasuo una y otra vez, tienes que jugar contra una amplia variedad de oponentes y puedes probar estos enfrentamientos y aprender de ellos.
Si juegas tu One Trick Pony después de muchos cientos de partidos, es muy probable que seas superior en un duelo directo con un jugador contrario.
Si tu campeón de One Trick también es fuerte en el estado actual del parche, estás haciendo una contribución importante para ganar la partida.
Idealmente, conoces todos los trucos y mecánicas de tu héroe y sabes cómo jugar contra los diversos contraataques y posiblemente también ganar contra ellos. Aunque los contraataques son superiores a ti en el papel.
Puede ver cómo se ve cuando los jugadores ganan mucho como «OTP» en el siguiente video de Synotik. Se muestran muertes locas con Zed, Riven, Yasuo, Katarina, Jhin y Shaco.

Los contras de los ponis de un truco
Lo hacen mal: Los jugadores suelen apostar todo en una sola carta. Si tu campeón está baneado en una partida, debes cambiar a otro campeón o salir del lobby.
Esto tiene la desventaja de que otros jugadores luego tienen que esperar a un nuevo lobby nuevamente.
Si las OTP cambian a otro personaje, esto a menudo significa que ni siquiera lo dominan. Todo depende del ELO en el que estén jugando las OTP. En la parte inferior de la tabla de clasificación, realmente no te preocupas por los héroes alternativos y «toma lo que hay».
En caso de duda, las OTP no tienen experiencia con otros campeones y, por lo tanto, están mucho peor que sus oponentes en un duelo directo en la línea.

9 typical League of Legends players
According to statistics, League of Legends has between 2 and 3 million full-time players around the world, with a monthly figure of 180 million. And despite all the variety of teammates, experienced lolers at a glance are able to determine the character of the player who got into their team. With whom will you have to share the line today — with a toxic person, a talker or a cynic?
It is impossible to divide all the players by types, but in this article we have recalled all our many years of experience playing League of Legends and are ready to introduce you to the people who are most often found on the Fields of Justice.
Toxic Tyler
Don’t try to make contact with him.
© Riot Games
You know Toxic Tyler very well. Perhaps sometimes you even see him in the mirror after a series of bad maps and a dozen unbearable teammates. In the English-speaking League of Legends community, the joke about “Toxic Tyler” appeared thanks to streamer Tyler1, who has long been considered one of the most aggressive players in the entire community.
Over time, Tyler has changed, but thousands of others have taken his place.
Toxic Tyler is very emotional. He does not like everything that happens on the screen, and he is ready to immediately inform his team about it. Your choice of heroes, your actions, your builds, your totems, the number of your minions — all this causes rage and irritation in him, and he unleashes it at any opportunity. Trying to respond to Tyler is a thankless job, because that’s what he’s trying to achieve, and after retaliating, you can accidentally open a portal to hell, where Toxic Tyler feels at home.
The best way to deal with it is to ignore it. Block all his messages and imagine that he is simply not in the game. Jokes aside, but such people have a strong negative impact on the morale of the entire team, and contacting them is more expensive for yourself.
Architect
You or the Scary Crab — you know what the result will be.
© Riot Games
For an Architect, League of Legends is not about fighting, but about buildings and forest monsters.
The architect looked at the LCL enough to understand that in order to win, it is necessary to demolish the towers and exterminate the forest life. In any incomprehensible situation, he goes to kill the Dragon, and when the enemy tower is left unattended, he begins to ping furiously at it.
Such a player is very unhappy when you prefer to start the battle instead of getting another cloud drake, and after any kill tries to convince you to go to Nashor. Very often, the Architect gets frustrated with his teammates and sets out to destroy towers alone, not stopping even when the enemies finish off your last inhibitor after winning a 4v5 battle.
OTP Riven is one of the oldest memes in the League of Legends community.
© Riot Games
The acronym “OTP” has long been a household name in all competitive gaming communities. She went from the English “One-Trick Pony” and began to refer to players who spend all their time on only one hero.
Despite the fact that many people treat such people with unkindness, OTP himself is terribly proud of his loyalty to his beloved champion and tries to demonstrate it with all his might.
He gladly shows everyone 1 million skill points, puts icons with his favorite hero, buys all the prestigious skins, and considers the mention of the hero in his nickname to be the highest aerobatics.
There are people like that in all disciplines, but in League of Legends it’s a problem on a different scale. When there are almost 160 characters in the game, playing one all the time is unwise, incredibly difficult and obviously leads to a loss of rating. But OTP doesn’t mind. He takes his favorite in every game and for any role, even if the champion is not intended for it. When a hero is taken away or blocked, he leaves the queue without a twinge of conscience. He sincerely believes that he has reached incredible heights of skill on his Riven, and therefore he can break into five with skill. Subsequently, as a rule, he finds himself 0\5\1 on the line, but clearly realizes that he is not to blame for this result.
Envious
He understands that you won dishonestly!
© Riot Games
Envious players are found everywhere, from regular games to high-ranking solo queue.
It doesn’t matter what hero the Envious is playing — he understands that this champion is weaker than yours, and this fact offends him to the core. Every time you send him to the base, Envious makes sure that you won only because you play a broken / one-button / unskilled hero (underline). Destroyed it for Zed’s kombu? Zed is one-button. Janey escaped his magnificent attack? Zhonya imba. Katarina’s ult took away more than half of his health? Katarina is broken and Riot doesn’t know how to balance. And it absolutely does not matter to him that Katarina is not taken at high ranks because of her irrelevance.
An envious person does not need to understand the meta and mechanics of other characters in order to be clearly aware of one single fact — if you win, it is only because you play on a hero that is too simple and strong.
A couple in love
They are always together.
© Riot Games
When Riot Games released Shaya and Rakan in 2017, they didn’t know how quickly this couple would turn into a meme.
The love duo of two champions with unique romantic interactions quickly found their fans and became one of the most popular duos among lovers playing together in League of Legends.
These guys often have similar nicknames like “YourBunny” and “YourKitty”, play together in the bottom lane and constantly an eyesore to those who are less fortunate in their personal lives with their presence. At the same time, a couple in love is rarely a problem in the game plan — they really try to help each other, have a certain level of worked out interaction and play well. But who makes it easier?
Shall we just give up?
© Riot Games
During his gaming life, the Cynic managed to take a sip of grief and no longer believes in anything. He was endlessly tired of teammates, enemies and the game in general. He knows perfectly well where everything is going and does not hesitate to tell you about it as soon as his theory receives visual confirmation. Mider gave first blood? GG, this is not to win.
Was the camp with birds stolen from the forester? Another team of nerds. The shooter didn’t hit with the ult? /ff on 20.
Such players are a problem in all competitive projects, but in a game as complex as League of Legends, they stand out especially brightly. When there are many factors involved in winning, and games are turned upside down by teamwork, the Cynics continue to stick to their line. They are often the ones who cause defeat because they gave up before the game even started.
Mr. Friendliness
He is ready to discuss anything!
© Riot Games
When even during the selection of heroes you see that the chat is quickly starting to fill up with messages, it immediately becomes clear that something is wrong. And if this is not a discussion of your strategy, then most likely you got Mister Friendly on the team.
This player loves to chat and has his own opinion on any score. He will definitely greet you, and then he will gladly develop a conversation on a random topic.
Mister friendliness fills the whole space with the speed of light and starts typing random phrases in the chat, and sometimes you will notice him standing in one place. Such a player tries to joke, comments on any situation, and writes ten of your messages at once.
In the first minutes of the game, they still respond to him, trying to show respect and smooth over awkwardness, but during important game situations, his flow of thoughts can interfere with teamwork. And if such a person plays for Yumi, then there are no problems, but what to do when he is your midlaner?
Treichard
He will fight to the end.
© Riot Games
Tryhard wants to win. He craves this so much that he is ready to give out his valuable advice right and left, if only his inexperienced teammates would listen to the voice of reason (his voice) and stop making mistakes. It hurts him to watch your wrong movements, bad builds and inappropriate actions. He has reviewed all the champion guides, he knows cool places for stealth totems and all the cooldowns for the spawning of forest mobs.
Sometimes he watches so closely what you are doing that he does not notice how he begins to type numbers in the “death” column.
Thruhaird can usually be spotted as early as 10 seconds into the game when he pings the bush from the enemy bottom lane and really wants to catch the gaping shooter. He likes to make unexpected and aggressive ambushes, which, unfortunately, do not always go according to plan.
At the same time, tryhards are not always bad players. Often their advice has a certain value, and ideas can lead to victory. However, after the twentieth message with moralizing, you start to wonder if you really want to win so much?
Calm warrior
Calm and unshakable.
© Riot Games
The unflappable warrior is the heart and soul of League of Legends. Such a player rarely uses chat or pings, except when it is really necessary. He does not participate in teammates’ quarrels, does not react to their mistakes and always gives his best.
Sometimes it seems that he just turned off the chat, but then, amid the flow of swearing, you notice an unexpected message “topper without a jump” and you understand that he sees everything, knows everything, but is just focused on the game.
And even when your jungler says he won’t come to your lane anymore because you’re a terrible shooter, the Unflappable Warrior will continue to go all out to help you with his Nami.
