At what rank does common sense start? Only golds and higher answer please.

I don't really care if i lose a good game. It's just a game. I remember this one time i went on a 9 loss streak, but since the games where pretty good, i didn't mind. But the thing that gets on my nerves is people who go 0-3-0 in 8 minutes and still try to 1vs1 the same enemy AS SOON AS THEY GET ON THEIR LANE. Perfect example, my last game, from which i left ( for the first time for around... 7 months...?). I was rek'sai jungle, i ganked botlane at level 3, got firstblood and a doublekill. Then at 8 minutes, our midlane zed is 0-3-0. One minute later he dies again, then again and again. He yells at me for not ganking his lane, but what can i do when he has 200hp or less INSTANTLY when he gets to his lane and enemy leblanc is 5-0. I calmly tell him to recall and heal up and then we can try. No, he tries to do it solo with 200hp and of course dies. It's really not that hard to understand that a 5-0 leblanc can easily doublekill us if i go for a gank, SINCE HE HAS ONLY 200HP OR LESS. Then he just starts running to enemybase to straight up feed, and since my past 7 games have been pretty much exactly the same, i said fuck it and left.

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO now to my question. I'm really really really good working towards something if i have a goal. So that's where the help from you guys would be coming in. I get it that people have bad games and stuff, but you should know what i'm talking about. Around what rank does the common sense start? Like.. we shouldn't 3vs5, im 0-3 i should just farm, i shouldn't dive to get a kill if it 100% surely kills me also, I SHOULD BUY WARDS and after the warding... the biggest fucking thing that annoys me so fucking much... Enemies have garen,rammus,ahri,leona and graves.... at what rank does people finally realize to go for the ahri and graves and not the first tank that runs in to us? Like............. my fucking girlfriend realizes these things and says the right things when i ask for her opinion and she hasn't played a game even ones in her life.

So no, i'm not talking about "mechanical skills" or stuff like that, i just want to know to what rank do i need to climb to, to get away from people like this? And no, i don't mean if you have one out of 10 games some shit like this, that already be a dream for me. But at mid gold, it seems to be every game.. SO PLEASE if you have any idea about the rank where this kind of brainless playing stops, it would be greatly appreciated!!!! :)

DINGDINGDINGDINGGG BONUSSSS ROUNDDDDDDD TO BRAINLESS SHIT PEOPLE DO!!!!!!!! Hi my name is pantheon, i won my toplane 4-0 and i have gotten 2 enemy turrets from top. Now, should i A) keep pushing to enemy base and die 15 times trying to solo the base turret OR B) ??????? (sorry, i can't write down another suggestion, since there clearly is none according to every toplaner i play with).

Many times, going for the first tank in range is the right thing to do.

To answer your question... common sense exists in all ranks. It's also sorely lacking in all of them, which is why every tier is full of people who hate each other. Also, I disobeyed again. I always respond to these "____ and above only" threads, and I'm unranked. Someone report me.

I haven't got a single ranked game under my belt, just many days spent talking to high gold/plat friends who were venting about their games. I'm a filthy casual.

Common sense is a super power.

Most people who have it don't play League of Legends.

Those that do have to write lists of reasons to not punch puppies.

Ok OP I don't even need to read your post to tell you that you have just answered your own question within the title itself. "Where does common sense start? Only golds or higher answer please." To you this is where common sense starts because only people at these levels have an understanding of common sense and thus they are the only ones capable of answering the question because they have common sense. "Common sense" is information the general public knows, so even trying to play it off as some secret thing that only certain people get is absurd in itself because thats just contradictory to it's meaning. Simply put to answer your question, as a SILVER V player (sorry if this offends you idc), common sense comes when you have gained knowledge of the game at it's rudimentary levels; in which you have a mutual understanding with the vast majority of the population on how the norms of the game function.

** If you understand basic concepts such as CSing, map control, objective control, teamfighting, jungle presence, jungle pathing, champion matchups, runes, masteries, general item builds, roles themselves and laning in general then you pretty much have covered bases thus acquiring "common sense" in League of Legends.** People who do not respond to the norms of these categories or show an aptitude for understanding them either lack the common sense (common knowledge if you will), are incapable of performing at a competent level or are just being lazy. Though after a while even when being lazy it's hard to not follow most of these norms because many of them become second nature for a player. Anyway hope that clears things up for you, coming from a Silver V player who has common knowledge of the game. :p

The reason why i said gold or higher, is because i have climbed from bronze 4 to gold and i see common sense on one game out of ten on one player..? I didn't mean no one lower then gold has it. Ofc there are people who have it. My question was when does it common for almost everyone to have it.
