Your skill level isn't dependent on your performance in a single game, let alone a single lane matchup. There are way more mechanics involved than pubstomping your lane, and for that reason, even if you did win a 1v1, it wouldn't be indicative of you actually reaching a higher skill bracket. The best way to prove yourself is to improve different aspects of your mechanics and climb the ladder.

so you're telling me i have to carry my team through the games and even if i win my lane its still not good enough?

watch out another question coming your way :D

What if i were to 1v1 and beat faker in every lane. would i still be bad?

Edit: not saying i would im just using him as an example <3

If you win your lane, the game doesn't end there. You need to work with your team as a cohesive unit to lock down objectives and prioritize certain moves over others. This may be securing a baron into a mid rotation, holding mid for a splitpush, etc.

what if i get all my turrets all the way to inhibitor, and team still doesn't call baron, what then?

got ya know ;)

Edit: this has never happened sadly but i use it as an example ;(

Then that's a throw, and when it comes down to it, that's still a mechanic. If the other team is able to find a way to play from behind and bring it to a win, then that's something you need to work on in the future, either through communication, micro gameplay, and macro gameplay.

If you were to 1v1 Faker in any possible role and on any champion then you would have good mechanics.

The game also requires game knowledge.

I can beat some diamonds in lane, but their game knowledge is far superior to mine. Which means I'm nothing more than the 2 season gold joker.

so if i take my lanes turrets and essentially carry my whole team to victory would i have knowledge?

this has not happened for me but i'm using it as an example if it were to happen.

No, you would abuse your enemies stupidity in not ganking you while you're taking their towers.

Game knowledge includes (but is not limited to)

knowing when the enemy jungler might come around, aka predicting his movement
when to go for trades and when not to
when to roam
what objective is the best to take at the moment (and in 5 minutes)
what items to buy according to teamcomp

With game knowledge you don't just solocarry, you carry your teammates to a spot from which they can start carrying as well. Your botlane is losing while you're 10/0/2? Go bot, give your ADC a doublekill (you got money, don't take the kill for yourself unless they would get away).

Took a look at your op.gg because I was curious. If you want me to analyze it just a bit (I'm not a coach or high enough elo to try being one but I can point out the biggest flaws) just tell me.
