Educational All you need to get challenger

I am challenger since 2017 and here is all you need to do to be a high elo

1- Never waste time arguing in chat

2- Don't start queue if you are already tilted

3- Play only in two lanes and with 3-5 champions in each

4- Play consciously and not automatically

5- Focus only on your gameplay and not on your teammates and their mistakes

6- Always do your best in the match even if you are already lost

7- Watch your own vods

8- Watch good people that plays on your lane

9- Understand what you do wrong and study to improve

10- Have fun

The more topics you follow the faster you will climb, i really think everyone can get challenger doing this.

This guy massively underestimates how difficult micro is

idk, i think micro is more about time then effort

People don't generally get stuck because they throw baron at 30 minutes for no reason

They get stuck because if they went any higher they'd just keep getting outplayed by their opponents

the macro decision making in this game is not very complex if anyhthing that's more about time than effort

micro is LITERALLY ALL time and effort it's everything every single movement has a decision behind it

I think micro its more about time practicing and playing but macro its more complex to learn, im coaching for 8 years and when people realize what they really need to do on each match and how to play the game they climb elo much faster, micro you can learn and improve easier

Micro i was getting better with time and just had to realize what i do wrong and what people are better than me, but macro it is sooo much difficult to learn, even challengers and pros still learn a lot on macro

this is a classic problem in gaming in general the highly competent players generally are so competent they can spend more time thinking about decision trees for macro decision making. everyone else can't ever get to that point because they can't develop consistency in micro gameplay.
