Mastery of a champion is a really fiddly subject. I always recall to my personal first tries of several champs. First time I tried Katarina and Darius. I had no idea what I was doing and I generally bombed. Those champs I hear all the time are easy champs to play. The first time I played Caitlyn I instantly knew how to play her to a decent extent.

All the time. And I mean all the time I'll see people do poorly with her. They get too close. They underuse Q. They overuse E. They never use W and they ult on tanks in teamfights.

Almost a whole year later and champs like Darius I can play but it's so outside my playstyle that I'm really not good at playing as him. I function at just a barely competant level. I play Caitlyn really well because my skills are in kiting which you can do with her.

And then there's playing a champ before level thirty. Playing a champ after level 30 and then playing a champ for Ranked and even then Ranked team matches have their own level of learning you have to undergo before you really. TRULY. Have a champion under your thumb. That they are an extension of yourself.

So it's all over the place and it really varies from person to person and it could take a mere moment to a whole year and that's not accounting for adjusting to nerfs and buffs that happen in between.
