There are a lot of drawbacks to playing as only one hero in Smite. You will indeed get better at that one character but the drawbacks are too great. By playing only one hero, you won’t be able to familiarize yourself with the different abilities and mechanics of other heroes.
Meaning that it would be harder for you to counter other players because of your lack of knowledge. So, make sure to try out different characters if you want to improve your game.
