How the hell can be such a skill difference between same division players?

This is not qq post about how I can't get out of lower divisions, becouse I have no problems with climbing at all, I just want to know something. How the hell skill difference can be so huge between one gold player and another one?

I was p5 in preseason. I got placed in g5.

In one game 4 of 5 oponents played like bronze 5 players, going 1vs3, not trading with enemie while in laning phase, etc. My whole team was comunicating and listenening to the calls.

The other game my 3 team mates were blaming everyone, proccesed to go 1vs1, 1vs2 or 1vs3, flashing in to 5 enemies to finish support, while having half of CS enemie had, no one listened to the calls nor looked at the map.

Another game, we had insane lead, but our team comp was very bad and I said from the begining that we have no chance late game and we must rush baron to end the game as early as possible. We aced enemie team, I pinged and ran to the baron, while everyone were recalling with full hp... -.-' Enemie took baron and we lost....

Edited: same things were happeneing in platinum, but at much lower frequency , it seemed that some people had no clue how the game works and it's not becouse they were bad with certain champion, but everything they were doing was bad, not looking at map, ignoring pings, trying to roam while losing 20 cs, etc....

i think it's because gold is kinda in the wacky side you can get there on the easy road being a one trick pony and learning to carry with that champion. Put them on any other role or champion and they will play significantly worse.

Or you can get there the harder way and play more than 1 role while playing a vast amount of champions. learning the game itself instead of just how to carry with one champion.

Obviously both are alright...but if you put the one trick pony not on hes pony...hes gonna have a rough time.

Players are learning more about the game...trading...pushing leads...power spikes and are starting to get a grasp of how to really punish the enemy.

and everybody learns at a different pace...so if you're a fast learner you're going to learn how to get these edges more quickly, and therefore ultimately, crush your opponent.

I agree with you, in plat I had 80 % win rate with rengar, about 70 % with udyr, nasus, 75 % with leona and only about 50-60% with other champions.

The reality is that most of the players you were playing with are about as good as each other. The reason there seems to be such a difference is because at this level people are very inconsistent. In one game a player can be the super sensible person making all the right calls and fights, then in the next came they can snap and make a dozen idiotic decisions.
