Dunning-Kruger Effect

>The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which relatively unskilled persons suffer illusory superiority, mistakenly assessing their ability to be much higher than it really is. Dunning and Kruger attributed this bias to a metacognitive inability of the unskilled to recognize their own ineptitude and evaluate their own ability accurately. Their research also suggests corollaries: highly skilled individuals may underestimate their relative competence and may erroneously assume that tasks which are easy for them are also easy for others.<

I dare say that Riot's League of Legends has achieved near PhD levels in exemplifying this effect. Someone should take this and write up a paper on it using league as their primary example.
