"Bronze players can have good game knowledge"

"Their mechanics are just too bad to apply it" Lmfao, can we please stop spouting this nonsense?

I am a mechanically terrible player yet I have made it to Diamond promos last season and I am Plat II atm which is the top 3% of the EUW server. When I started playing ranked I got placed in Bronze and got as low as Bronze IV because my mechanics were terrible and my game knowledge sucked. Once I learned how to play the game and understood how to win I got out of Bronze in basically no time. I really can't stand people who try to excuse the fact they don't understand this game by blaming it on their lack of mechanics. If you understand how to win games you would not be Bronze (or Silver). Period. If you understood champion matchups, laning mechanics, objective control and winning conditions for your team comp in specific and for teams in general you would easily be able to reach atleast Gold even with shitty mechanics like me.

People who play hundreds of rankeds and still chill in Bronze or Silver don't have an understanding of this game, simple as that. Time to understand it and try to expand their knowledge if they wanna improve.

Btw this does not apply to people who don't really care about ranked and only play like 10 rankeds a season, I am talking about people who actively play ranked.

I usually find it to be the opposite; Bronze players might have decent mechanics, but they lack the game knowledge to make use of said mechanics.

The people arguing with you on this are usually the ones who don't actively play ranked.

no, we cannot

There does exist a type of person who can do but does not know how There does exist a person who knows how who cannot do

One is fixed with study, the other with discipline.

Did you actually get so immature as to make an entire new thread to cry about something you're wrong on...? Just... wow. That's sad.

I up voted because I think your right. Like you said you don't need to have good mechanics just basic game knowledge to carry out of bronze.

Edit: And silver. Honestly gold too I am sure. My mechanics are shit but realize I can still play at gold/low plat level mechanically but hit a game knowledge wall. Just need to memorize and practice those damn diamond jungle youtube videos but too lazy :(

You're not plat. You're a nobody posting on a troll account with no games. If you really were plat you'd be posting to that account.

I don't get why you are getting so much hate. Everything that you said is completely true and I completely agree with you. If you have any game sense or any mechanics, you should not be in bronze or silver. If you are stuck in low elo, it means that you are bad at the game. Just like you, I'm not trying to shit talk, but when people say that they are decent in low elo it really hurts my brain. You know why? Because I was Silver 5 last season and now I'm D5, and I still think I suck.

I seriously dislike you. Everyone can have knowledge. Some people just don't apply it. For instance, I've met bronzes who know how, where, and when to ward and just choose not to. Honestly, you're an ass.

I've heard from lots of people that Plat is basically just Bronze with Entitlement, it looks to be true.
