Wait wasn't it like this:
Bronze: People who suck at the game
Silver: People who suck at the game but know how to lasthit
Gold: Average players
Platinum: Average players with common sense
Diamond: People with common sense AND game knowledge
High dia + Master: People with consistent mechanics, sufficient game knowledge and an understanding of the game and mindsets of players
Challenger: people who devote a LOT of time to the game and fill the conditions for master and high dia :P
Soooo... how come people in plat have no common sense? no game knowledge? It seems like a massive mixed bag. You get some people who're good enough to easily breach diamond, and others whom make you wonder if they got elo boosted because they're god awful...

In my opinion game knowledge is VERY limited till you get diamond+, mostly people think they know a lot about the game while they're still making a lot of essential mistakes in their thought process. In solo queue, its super easy to get a high rank without a serious sense of game knowledge by just stomping mechanically and making sure people don't get to the phase where game knowledge/decision making matters.

I personally think that is a skill as well.

Can confirm. High plat / low dia in NA atm involves people throwing games by hanging around after objectives, trying to initiate 3v5 because they found a "pick" and stalling the game out by farming the jungle when ahead.
I got suspended from college classes for a term, or less if I'm super lucky, because depression took over a bit and I had super ****ty grades.
But I got my tax return today so that's kinda good I suppose. :S
It's also unfortunately the only money I'm going to get for a while since I still have no job...
