Playing more doesnt make you win more

Honestly. Some people climb to diamond quickly with not many games played. Some people only play a few times a week and have good win rate.

This whole thing is mental. I genuinely believe that all this stuff about learning and dedicating time to learning is BS.

You don't read books on how to ride a bike or do anything else. Why is playing league any different. It's all mental. I'm playing more than I ever have and I'm doing WORSE. I was doing better when I was barely playing. I had a better win rate. Probably because I wasn't so tilted all the time and didn't care so much about winning.

TLDR: Game is all mental, learning and playing more (after you know the basics) rarely equate to climbing.

Well actually people do read books on how to do things, or they have someone else to explain Anyway, you are free to play as much as you want

Playing more does not mean learning. The highest single champion mastery player (an ashe with over 10 million points on her) is silver. Second place (a heimer with over 9 million) is bronze. Learning is an active process that each person does differently. If yours is book learning, go for it! If you're more of a learn by doing, set goals and work on stuff! Just gotta make sure you're playing to your strengths there and not just going off of how someone else did it.

Try telling that to LCS teams that practice 8+ hours per day like it's their full time job.

If your goal is to to learn from mistakes you will do it, if you are playing on auto pilot of course you won't learn anything.
