Best champions to OTP in League of Legends, by role (2026)
GamerOne Editör Ekibi 
Lecture : 5 minIn League of Legends, an OTP (one-trick pony) is a player who plays most of the season on a single champion, and it's one of the most consistent ways to climb. The best champions to OTP in League of Legends are the ones that patches rarely break, that don't get banned often, that can win games on their own and that reward practice. This guide compares the best OTP champions by role, using Riot's official difficulty ratings and GamerOne's OTP data for Turkey, Emerald+ (patch 26.22).
A good OTP champion isn't the strongest champion; it's the one you can trust every patch, in every matchup.

What is an OTP? Pros and cons of one-tricking
An player plays the vast majority of their games on the same champion. In GamerOne's Turkey Emerald+ data, OTPs play an average of 71% of their games on one champion and win 52.5% on average (November 4, 2026, patch 26.22).
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| You know the kit, power spikes and matchups by heart, so your decisions get faster. | If your champion is banned or taken, you need a backup plan. |
| Less mechanical load means more focus on the map and the wave. | A big nerf can leave your champion weak for a while. |
| Every lesson from one game carries directly into the next. | When you're autofilled, the advantage doesn't come with you. |
What makes a good OTP champion?
- Patch resilience: Champions whose power doesn't rely on a single item or number suffer less from nerfs.
- Low ban rate: One-tricking a frequently banned champion means you can't play them in part of your games.
- Solo carry potential: Champions who can win lane or a teamfight alone are worth more in solo queue.
- Learning curve: High difficulty means rough early games but a higher ceiling; easy champions pay off quickly.
- Counter resilience: Champions that stay playable in bad matchups are less risky in champ select.

Habits that OTPs share
- Fixed runes and items: High-elo OTPs stick to a few core builds and only swap one or two items for the matchup. Check your champion's current build: Yasuo build, Jinx build.
- A matchup notebook: They know what to do in the first three minutes of hard matchups; losses turn into short notes.
- Knowing power spikes: They know which level and item makes them strong and pick fights around it.
- A second champion: They keep a backup with a similar playstyle for bans and bad matchups.
How do you pick your own OTP champion?
- Pick your main role; the OTP advantage works best when you stay in the same role.
- Choose two or three candidates you enjoy that aren't banned often.
- Start by difficulty: if you're new, an easy or medium champion pays off faster.
- Play each candidate for 20–30 games, then look at your win rate and repeated mistakes. GamerOne's AI Coach reviews your deaths, CS and objective control after each match and gives concrete suggestions.

Yes, for most players. Playing one champion builds matchup knowledge and decision speed; the only risk is having no backup when your champion is banned or nerfed.
What should I do if my OTP champion is banned?
Keep a backup with a similar playstyle. If you play Riven, for example, a few games on a second fighter for the same role is enough.

By Riot's difficulty rating, the easiest picks on this list are Sett (2/10), Warwick (3/10) and Soraka (3/10).
