I suggest bots, and then norms to see how well you can function with one hand. Look at results objectively.

Oof. That brings back memories.

In any case, if you're about to use the keyboard with a broken arm (I was still able to move my fingers on my left hand) then you can try to play. If you believe it starts impacting your performance, you may want to wait until it heals.

Is it ok? Yea, you won't be punished for playing with a handicap. You should weigh the pros and cons of how likely it is to reach diamond and how recent your injury is vs how well you've adapted to said injury.

Can you reach diamond? Well, I'll point you to this drummer to give you some hope. Best of luck.

The same applies if you are 2 handed, 1 handed or an octopus. If you say, you are going to push for diamond and think you play worse with one hand... Don't you think you need to look at the logic there?

I play 1 handed all the time. It takes some practice but it's dueable.

That being said if your trying to climb it won't work. It took me a few months of practicing before I was able to play mildly competently.

Yes you can it's fine and you can still play better than a majority of the community while doing it.

Yes the MMR will take care of it. If it's temporary I don't recommend your main account.

Well, as long as you play to win and play fairly well, even with your impairment, you should be fine. Even if League is kind of one of those games that requires two hands to play (between mouse functions and ability hotkeys), I'd imagine you could probably still do it.

I think, though (and I'm definitely not certain if Riot is okay with it), but it could also be possible to get a special mouse to map ability hotkeys to? You'd probably have to ask about that, since I do know there are gaming mice with buttons for special hotkey/macro setups, but, again, no clue how Riot views those. So, definitely ask about that possibility if you can.

And, if nothing else, take inspiration from Halfcoordinated - a legendary speedrunner who plays one-handedly. (Granted, he doesn't play League as far as I know, but his ability to play videogames is absolutely amazing regardless.) If he can play NieR: Automata or Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight with only one hand, I'm certain you could play League with one.

You can try to take a shot and push to diamond, but I really doubt you will succeed. Is it allowed to play with one hand?

Well...
