I am not convinced he is that high.

plat 3 isn't very high

pretty sure someone with idra's mechanics would be well above here. his teamwork on the other hand...

Don't think so, he said he was playing to spend time with his girlfriend, and wanted to stay away from ranked

Destiny was below plat 3 for a VERY LONG TIME.

mechanics have nothing to do with it, it takes quite a while to memorize all the skills and champs in the game and have an innate idea of how much damage they can do.
In Hungry Hungry Hippos there are no such constraints—one can constantly attempt to collect marbles with one’s hippo, limited only by one’s hippo-levering capabilities.

Most of what people call "mechanics" in this game is pretty much applied game knowledge (knowing how to position/zone/engage properly based on your knowledge of skill and autoattack range/damage/CDs/etc.). That requires you to have a high level of game knowledge to apply in the first place, which Idra won't have much of yet. "Pure" mechanics insofar as what you expect to translate over from a totally different game has very little meaning.

The only thing I expect idra to transfer over is micro, and map awareness. Almost everything else from SC2 is not applicable to LoL.

That's so untrue, I don't know why people seem to think map awareness transfers over. However It's likely a player from SC2 would recognise the importance of map awareness in LoL and work to improve it.

Pretty much. I got to mid-masters in sc2 in 3 months when it came out by purely outmacroing people with my BW mechanics, and it took me 2 years to get out of gold in LoL.

Of course it transfers over lol. Why would you think it doesn't?

Map awareness = Looking at the map and recognising whats going on and where your enemy is.

How could you think it would transfer from one game to another that both have minimaps?! FOOLS I TELL YOU! FOOLS!

From my perspective it took hundreds of games of league before my map awareness was even close to what it was in SC. Trying to figure out what the champions do, the constant cs + fighting at low levels + all the other stuff that was happening made me almost not see the minimap. :#

Honestly, that's an unbelievably fallacious line of reasoning. Think about the logic you're using, would you say a good FPS player is going to be good at any game involving a gun too?

Your comparison is extremely bad though. The FPS player is not going to be good at any game involving a gun, but playing another game he will be at least decent in the aspects that are identical in both games.

I think it's more like expecting an fps player to be great at aiming skillshots because they both require precision aiming, which can conceivably be thought of as a unified skill in a way similar to map awareness.

Don't think that's a good comparison either. In the case of map awareness you have 2 games that are viewed from above at an angle, with an identical minimap in the exact same location of the screen. Even if it doesn't transfer over automatically I would say that after getting used to the gameflow a sc2 player will have an easier time adjusting to watching the minimap than someone who hasn't played a similar game will.
