These players will just be like "don't worry they're trash you're better than them just farm and win." But I'm trash, and I can't farm and win. If it was that easy then EVERYONE would be in high elo.
I can't agree. I see my bronze friend play on a regular basis. Their problem is they want to be silver/gold, but they dont want to improve. I can tell them right at the begining of the game to not take any risk, just focus on farming, and i'll find them dead under the ennemy tower less than 5 minut later.
They want to play and just do what pops in their mind. Getting better require training. And training is just setting up goals, actions, and staying focused on that.
Yes anyone can be at least gold. It just requires preparation and the will to do it. It requires to actually train and not be like "HUM WHICH CHAMPION WILL I TAKE THIS GAME ? ... I'VE NOT PLAYED AZIR IN A LONG TIME, GO FOR HIM"
It requires to play the same champion at least multiple time in a row, so the mecanics inherent to the champion become natural and you can focus on a more abstract level of play.
Even as a diamond veigar/ww I can't just start playing a new champion and be like "i'm going to carry games", If I have to focus on what my competences are doing, which damages my autos will be doing, or If I dont know which trades I can or can't take, I wont be able to focus on the other parts of the play, like decision making, roaming etc.
EDIT :
another concrete example, I've been playing with a bronze friend a lot. I was playing on lower lvel accounts to help him get to silver because he couldnt get out of bronze. He was playing Aatroxx. He was farming quite well, had good mecanics, he was crushing his lane nearlly every time.
Problem : he had no decision making at all. Like none. He was playing every teamfight like the whole team was going to follow him instantly, even if he was in the middle of the map and our team was spread accross the map. He was then blaming people for not grouping. I tried to help him for 20 games. And he didnt change at all. He was repeating the same exact mistake every time. He was absolutely triggered by the presence of an ennemy in his vision field. He had to go for that kill. Even if noone was backing him up and that every single other ennemies was missing.
Sometimes people dont want to put any reflexion because "it's a game", and they are not here to "use their brain". Well, expect to lose against people who use theirs then.
