There is a big difference in not only mechanics, but also decision making. Just watch Redmercy and then go watch Bjergsen. You will see that Redmercy will be the one making mechanical errors (often) and making horrible decisions, such as flashing for an unnecessary kill or building inefficient items. Bjergsen however will be a lot better mechanically, and will consistently make good decisions without even doubting them. Challengers are faster in reacting in game to the enemy. If they see the enemy jungler go top they will go for dragon, if they see the enemy team missing, they will assume they are either trying to set up a trap (if lack of vision) or trying to take an objective. Challengers will look at the map (frequently) and assess what they should be doing, while diamonds do something similar, their play style isn't based off of that. Another difference is being aware of win and lose scenarios. Challengers will know their comp and how to play it out, they also know the enemies as well. They also tend to notice patterns practiced by other players, such as moving to dodge a skill shot or particular sets of rotations. That's pretty much all I can tell you for now.

P.S I am no challenger player, but I do know they game pretty well to make these assessments.

My decision making is on point..that's how i won this 8 games in a row.

See this game

we all fcked up. I could have carried..but made some stupid errors.i am aware of them.The enemy team got too cocky and we managed to turn it around.

Idk, my jungle feels really good. it's really at high level, better than my current elo. You may be right, sometimes i have to think about my decisions, i don;t instantly react. Another problem i seemed to have is that i died too much.Idk, early game i know exactly what to gank, what to countergank, how to react to the enemy jungler. but when the mid game comes i tend to throw away my lead, stupid decisions that i aware i make but still doing them:))..

I played this 8 games and the game was kind of different. I even had a game with 4 premades ..this particular game felt really high elo. Not only they were warding but they were reacting to my every move. We managed to win, but this game felt different. After that i had challenger smurfs in games. I had players that were one trick pony, really good players. I was still winning jungle. Even if i died and made some kind of a throw move, i was winning jungle. But i saw, that i was not dominating anymore. Usually i am 3 levels over someone i am dominating. This time, we were the same level or only 1 level above. But, to be honest, the next 4 games that i lost-some i could have carried, but i kind of suck mid. I had 2 times botlane feed so hard, it was not even funny.This games, hard to carry.

Anyway, the thing is, since it's harder to snowball the game. The game is decided by a 5 vs 5 fight. I am really good in fights..but, to be honest..this fights are kind of RNG:|
