"   I would only recommend for people to play their favorite champ, no matter what" 

This is exactly how new players I feel should learn the game. Of course there are exceptions like, you shouldnt play a hard-core support like Janna who is lackluster at everything else besides Support and can kinda make that player sink into a overly-passive playstyle that they never really get out of. But in alot of players cases playing one champion exclusively can allow them to have alot of fun while learning the game at the same time.

In my case that champion was Orianna and to my surprise, she was considered one of the hardest Champions to play in LoL and I was one of those few that coud play her well. This was surprising to my friends at the time and myself as I was still new and played her ebtter than people with 2+ years of experince at like level 14.

So with that said I fully support your notion, Orianna turned me into the player I am today and I legitimately owe ALL of my succes in LoL to playing her.
