What Does This Mean?

mono champ

Brainrot Score: 4.0 ⓘOBSERVED
[ SLANG ][ MULTILINGUAL NATIVE ]

Brazilian Portuguese gamer slang for a player who plays almost only one champion in a hero-based game such as League of Legends. The English equivalent is "one-trick". A Brazilian esports article uses the related form "monochampion" for players who queue ranked with a single champion and have to leave the match if it is banned or picked by the opponents.

REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE

""Meu duo é mono champ de Yasuo, não adianta pedir outro.""

LORE & ORIGIN

Anglicism: "mono" (one) plus "champ" (short for champion). Dignitas (13 Jan 2018) defines the English "one-trick" as a player who only plays one champion and names well-known streamers as examples; the page does not mention "mono champ". The Portuguese form appears in the Brazilian press as "monochampion" (esports.gg), a page that could not be opened here, so no dated source for the exact phrase is cited.
