It really is as simple as that. Too many low level players constantly search for the shortcut, the pro tips or OP carry champ that'll get them "where they deserve". Nope, just pick simple champs and focus on improving your basics. Everybody's shit at the basics until Diamond so just working on the basics can take you from Bronze to Diamond in a single season if you're motivated enough. At least, it worked that way for me (my main went Bronze -> high Plat on 250 ping in NA before we got our own server).

yup there are no "secrets" or "shortcuts" there are cheese ways to gain elo but in reality if you want to earn that rank it requires more. Talking to many coaches and being one myself you can get to d5 with just being good at the basics and having decent mechanics. People just overvalue the lower ranks. D5 is really easy to get to. but d5 to d4 is harder than bronze-diamond5

Agreed, I couldn't get past D5 on NA. I partially blamed it on my ping but honestly there are a few people from OCE who made it to NA Challenger on 250 ping so I've just gotta play a little less dumb. It really does feel like a big gap between D5 and D3+ for sure.
