Learning to play [x champion] vs learning to play League of Legends

Is it harder to do the latter? I've seen people say that bronzies have good mechanics on the champions they play, and could perform well enough with a champion's kit given a circumstance, but as far as game knowledge goes they couldn't play themselves out of a wet paper bag.

How do you learn how to play League versus just knowing what your champ does? How do you gain game knowledge?

I wouldn't really say that is accurate about bronze players.. Maybe partially?

Basically the idea is to be really good at 1-3 champions so that you can.. Focus on learning the game vs learning the strengths of your champion in relation to the other 9 champions on the map. So ultimately, you should focus on that part first.. Then you can more easily learn "the game" if you will.

Once you learn the strengths and weaknesses of your champion to at least the level your rank is at or slightly better. You can start to see windows (or should) of opportunity. Once you start taking advantage of the enemy's mistakes and poor map coverage/objective control, that is where you step in. Every missed opportunity is to some degree, a mistake. The team with the least, or "less severe" mistakes, generally wins.

TL;DR use the experience you have with your champion to punish the mistakes of your enemies via objectives.

Tbh I wouldn't recommend going deep into League of Legends knowledge base without ranking up simultaneously. I have gained so much knowledge (for my rank) that I feel disguested every time I play, every time I see other people playing in my rank. That's one of the reason I stopped playing LOL so active. For the knowledge gain. I got most of the knowledge from watching proplayers' streams (who talk about theories) , watching cybersport, watching educational videos. The problems is I have gained lot's of knowledge about macro/micro, but I can't gain knowledge for outplaying. It is just what you learn by playing. I think there is enough accessible info on champs like guides, videos, basic LOL info.

by having an IQ higher than 10. macro is so easy in league that only braindead players don't know how to macro properly mid game.
