Ashe I've got ashe to mastery 7 and then got bored of playing her , after i didnt play her for a while i started losing a lot and when i randomly played her i won every time . So my question is it really worth it to one trick a champion to get out of bronze / silver / gold ?

It depends on your goals. If all you want to do is climb then go for it.

If you care more about having fun you're better off picking a small pool of champions in 2 different roles.

Yes.

There's a whole huge gigantic massive mountainous list of reasons why, but for the sake of simplicity, yes.

I'd suggest 3-tricking, but one tricks work. They can get to Challenger.

I'd probably recommend figuring out a champion pool (i.e. 2-4 champions per role you play). This lets you gain experience in matchups while retaining enough versatility to adjust for team compositions (both for your team and the enemy team).

I would get bored pretty quickly if I was only playing one champion.

It is definitely worth one-tricking, or almost one-tricking a champion at least for a certain period of time. Playing a champion who you know through and through will let you learn a lot more about other stuff, like vision, wave control, objectives etc.

Getting to know a champions kit thoroughly will also make it easier to analyze champions kits and their interaction in the future.

If you wanna onetrick, make sure you also are good at at least one other very similar champion or hard counter to the first that has very low pick/ban, and preferably a third, and are competent in a safe pick or two for a secondary role. For example, my main is Soraka, secondary is Nami (which is awesome, since Nami has a great winrate against Soraka, isn't as popular, and is extremely similar in playstyle). So, if Soraka's picked or banned, I can still do really well. That's how I climbed to gold this season with relatively few games. It becomes unlikely that BOTH your top two are picked or banned, but it can happen, especially if your a hypercarry kind of player (which is honestly a good idea.) Then you may have to be very good at several champions (so Zed, Yasuo, AND Katarina). If you onetrick a multi-role champ like Nautilus, you can keep playing a champ you're good at in your main and secondary roles. Make sure your champ is both fun and fits your playstyle. Typically, your favorite champ will be your favorite champ because they fit your playstyle, even if you don't consciously think about it.
