How Come I Don't See Stereotypical Bronze Players In My Bronze Games?

I'm asking this because in about 1000 games at Bronze ELO i have never seen an enemy ADC flash into our team 1v5 with their team behind them and instantly get rekt, then i see people on the boards be amazed at how bad Bronze players are, and how they flash into the enemy team 1v5 with their team behind them and get rekt.

I actually don't see that one much

What I do see way too much in bronze and silver us the adc aggressive flash heal to towerdive someone with like ~200 HP

And every time it happens the guy is surprised that the enemy also had summoners to use

My friend told me it happened every 2 or 3 games when he played in silver.

Good thing he mains Tahm support. "I don't care how much you want to feed right now, I'm not going to let you"

Or when i play Thresh Support: "Feed all you want, i'm still getting you a double kill."

That happened when he played in Silver? How come he gets it so often when playing in a higher ELO then me, even if Silver and Bronze are pretty much the same.

First off they're not the same. Second, his sample is like 20 games so it's not that significant.

But if I had to guess, honestly it's probably that the bronze player doesn't even have the thought that he could use his spells and maybe get a kill. From what I've seen of most people in bronze, they just don't think.

The silver player can actually identify that he can use the spells, it occurs to him that he might have a kill, but he doesn't calculate for the enemy actions.

I like to describe the ranks like this.

In bronze, they have no idea what it should be In silver, they know what it should look like but not why it happens In gold, they know why it happens but not how to do it In plat, they know how to do it but not when and where In diamond, they know how, when, and where, but not always why. masters and above fully understand the how, when, where, and why.

That's when you click on flash by mistake. XD RIP.

No, I didn't see those in any game I play since Season 4. (I start rank in Season 4).

Bronze covers a rather large range of bad. Gold or even silver players will see bronze 1's and facepalm so hard about how incredibly bad they are, but I have little doubt that bronze 1's feel similar about bronze 4s, and then there's bronze 5 level bad where there's the 'barely' bronze 5 people who are awful, but there's also the people super deep in bronze 5 who make the 'barely' bronze 5 people look like gods by comparison.

Because alot of the people in bronze right now were silver last season and all the real bronze people are so deep into bronze V now that they will never get out.

So if i do my placements and ELO decay back to Bronze 5, i can find the true Bronze players? Also don't Silver players make the same mistake as Bronze players? Such as flashing into the enemy team 1v5 and getting rekt?
