LCS is a version of League that isn't supposed to be how league is played

Pro players if you put them in a 5v5 they pretty much all of a constant skill level. Everyone knows what they're doing. So what they opt to do is pick safest picks to win the game. Pro play plays games around others mistakes rather than making the play. It will always be reactionary play.

Now if you look at bronze play. It essentially meets practically all of Riot's goals:

-fast paced gameplay -quick games -flashy bursty champions -variety of picks

This is because bronze players want to WIN. They have a win mindset. They want to make the play they want to have the better ego etc etc. A bronze will make a play all the time. A bronze will take more risks. Maybe the play will fail and thats why they're in bronze, but that is how they improve at the game.

In actuality, LCS/proplay is how the game should be played at its fullest. It may not be the most exciting or fun, but it is sure more refined than any other level of play.

sorry but what? a bronze player also has no idea what map awareness is, or how to take advantage of their gold leads or how to push for their advantage or anything. They aren't in bronze because of any of the reasons you listed, they are in bronze because there are a multitude of things that they have to improve.

Also are you implying that LCS players don't want to win? that challenger players don't want to win? every single player needs to keep improving, being in the LCS doesn't magically make you immune to that since if you aren't performing then you are out and easily replaced unless you bring something really indispensable to the team like solid shotcalling. A good player knows how to play around the mistakes of the enemy and the best pro teams know how to make plays and force the enemy to make mistakes.

Your logic is flawed beyond belief

Tbh bronze should have their own form of LCS. Let's be honest here, they would rake in way more cash flow with the way their plays go. Shit is entertaining lol.
