"Team Comp doesn't matter till high elo."

I disagree, "You can play whatever you want and if you're good you'll win!" While this is true in the sense that, if you belong in low plat as opposed high silver, this is a true statement. However what happens when everyone in the game is an average joe? The Team comp becomes relative again. Every time someone complains about the meta the first thing I see thrown back is "Muh team comp is only a high elo thing!" but this isn't true. If someone is smurfing they can damn well do whatever they want, if someone is genuinely good and is climbing for the first time then they belong at a higher elo and thus they can get away with playing a champ that is relatively weak because they play it well. But when that isn't the case and everyone is about where there skill level as them placed, relative to other players then the team comp matters, THE TEAM COMP MATTERS. Just because players aren't challenger doesn't mean an actual team comp (Or meta combination) is likely to lose to a combination of weaker champions. If everyone in a silver game belongs in silver 5 to silver 3, then the stronger champions have a better shot at winning the game, the stronger combinations have a better shot at winning the gmae. The meta may be different between elo's but it still exists.

Team comp and even meta dosen't really matter in low elo.

Team comp matters in close games, regardless of elo.

Map awareness and making the right call doesn't matter and is actually detrimental in low elo. It's better to play around your team than it is to play around objectives in low elo.

Like if the game is a kill heavy game, and you're trying to splitpush to take a turret you're going to end up feeding because your team isn't going to apply any cross map pressure when people come to kill you.
