What OP.GG does better
OP.GG is the quickest way to look someone up. Type a summoner name and you see their rank, recent games and favorite champions. During champion select or loading screen you can check the whole lobby.
It also has deep champion data: builds, runes, skill orders, counters and tier lists by patch and rank. MOBA Trainer does not look up players and is not a stats site. For that job, OP.GG is the better tool.
What MOBA Trainer does better
Match history shows that you lost, not the decision that lost it. MOBA Trainer trains those decisions: each puzzle is a real game moment where you see the map, choose the play, and learn what strong players would do and why.
The 51 patterns cover economy, vision, map movement, fighting and game state, and each has a video explanation by a coach. A campaign takes you through them in order, and a free daily puzzle keeps you practicing.
Data versus practice
Knowing a matchup's win rate helps you pick. Winning the matchup takes good trades, good wave control and knowing when the jungler can arrive. Those come from practice.
Our own site also has a tier list and matchup pages built from game data, so you can check a pick and then train the decisions that follow.
How to use them together
Use OP.GG to check your lobby and your build. After the game, look at your match history for the moment that went wrong, then practice that decision in MOBA Trainer.
If the same problem shows up across many games, such as dying to ganks or losing fights you started, train that pattern before your next session.
Which one should you pick?
If you want to look up players, check a live game or find a build, pick OP.GG.
If you want to get better at the decisions inside the game, pick MOBA Trainer. The two do different jobs, so you can use both.
