There's a big difference in peoples skill level between bronze 5 and bronze 1, not to mention silver to plat. There is a difference, although it isn't immediately clear to me despite watching my friend(who is rather bad at the game) drop from bronze 1(placement) to bronze 4/5 after about 200 games. Clearly there is some mechanic that allows him to differentiate him from the perma bronze 5's, but I couldn't tell you what it was. Among his numerous mistakes though are - turning off gold on last hits "I don't want to see how bad I'm farming" - right clicking and hoping that the creeps get last hit. He'll click on the one that's getting low, but the concept of pressing S or walking back and forth for timing seems lost to him - Not trading. A support taps him and he immediately runs away.(this one is huge). Always loses trades to aggressive players unless he has massive creep advantage. | ||

The fact of the matter is, bronze 1 players are in bronze 1 and not bronze 5 because they can consistently beat bronze 5 players. There must be obvious skill differential between them to have such discrepency in ranking. | ||

There's a big difference in peoples skill level between bronze 5 and bronze 1, not to mention silver to plat. What separates them then? Being more shitty than the others? I'm not being egotistical, but I seriously cannot separate them. I've seen gold 1 players do equally retarded stuff that a bronze 5 would do. While it's easier to win games in bronze/silver (better game understanding profits), it's the same problems you face in all 3 tiers; people can't act on their own and rely heavily on massive aggressiveness to win games prior to 30 minutes otherwise most games usually get dragged to late-game. You can be skeptical, I'm just sharing my knowledge and I'm 100% sure that if there really was something unique seperating a bronze from a gold, i would definitely have noticed it long ago.

It's rather easy to witness it first-hand because you're able to chat and because of my own comfortably skill, It's not hard to make conclusions. Try it yourself. | ||

Again, the gold 1 player is not gold 1 purely due to luck. Gold 1 is there because they consistently farm better and make fewer mistakes than a low gold/silver/bronze player. It's not any one thing that gets people there. One guy might have gold 3 laning, but plat 3 shot calling, and because of that he still wins a lot of his games despite losing lane because he can get the team to listen to him. For higher level players, it really is difficult to differentiate on the basis of skill without looking at stuff like CS numbers and watching how the team as a whole makes decisions because we can see so many mistakes being made. | ||

I think the big keyword in your statement is "unique". Yes, players from bronze to gold do equally retarded stuff, but there is still a rather massive difference in quantity. You can also look at it from a more positive side: Lower ranked players sometimes do very epic plays just as pro players do, but the consistency/quantity of those plays per game is massively different. It's like doing the right thing from time to time vs doing it almost all the time and having the right conception about a couple of things vs having the right conception about 10 times more things. | ||

Many gold players are willing to group and push or follow calls when someone fed is making them. That's much harder in lower leagues. Other than basic laning there's not a lot of difference. The map presence that smurfs have compared to actual gold/plat shitters is obvious. *edit - I stand in the enemy lux laser on aram thinking I'm all good. | ||
