http://gyazo.com/21dc595f5decc5dfe4e36c7679d4623d riot employee just told me that their tier doesnt equate to skill so its not accurate. Uhhh a player is silver/gold for a reason while these players are diamond for a reason? so i guess leagues dont mean anything and that lcs players are the same skill level as the rest of us they are just lucky they got chosen

I have had the honor to play with all of the divisions you have listed and I'll chime in on my thoughts.

I'de say mid Bronze to low Gold are around the same skill level (At least in my experience) and if you're in there, you can hold your own against them.

Mid-High Gold is when people seem to start to get a pretty good understanding of mechanics and how the games are supposed to go.

Plat-Mid Diamond is when people actually start to get "good". These people know the mechanics and can put them to practice, just not 100% of the time.

High Diamond+ is when you are in tuned with the mechanical complexities of this game and you're an extremely good player. You know what you should be doing at all times to maximize your chances of winning. Objective control, farming, when and if you should engage in fights, you name it.

Just my 2¢.

hes trying to say it doesnt matter if there are bronze players with diamonds in normals because rank doesnt matter. but yes yes it does its the reason these players get stomped by these higher tier players because they are more skilled its like common sense. Timmy is good at basketball so he is in the nba do you think timmy should be playing against jimmy in a pick up game (where you try but its not super serious aka normals) thats in a wheelchair and hasnt played basketball before? he still obviously shouldnt let him play with the other wheel chair kids while the pro player plays with college players and other pros play. it would be like having a full team of nba and college players vs high school and elementary players its just obviously not fair and makes for poor games. its also not real life so people dont care and wont go easy on you everythings fair game.
