Mastering a champion in league of legends is just like learning a new song on an instrument. A champion has certain timings and rhythms to the way they play. The auto attack animation, the ability animations, the combos, and the spacing. Going into practice tool and getting a feeling for these timings is key to mastering a champion. See how there is a rhythm to the auto attack of a champion, just like the tempo of the beat in a song. The note is the beat where the music is played, where you auto attack, and the space in between is where you move. So mastering a champions auto attack is hitting that beat perfectly while having no downtime on your movement. That is why players who master their champions have a certain elegance in their play, because there is no wasted space and each movement is precise.

Congrats to all the new grad physical therapists! We have created a special discount code for our Foundations of Esports Medicine Course (link in reply) for 75% off! Gaming is an ADL and we want to help you provide value to this population that is often overlooked!

Esports provides players with extrinsic motivation to improve themselves in pursuit of esports performance.

If you are interested in esports medicine, I highly recommend Foundations. Considering there’s not many resources in the field, its the perfect course to start.
