I am currently Bronze 4, winning about 50% of the time. I feel like I’m a good player, and I’ve spent so many hours on this game, but the people I’m being match made with are so amazing at the game I just can’t compete most of the time.
I am currently level 134 so I’ve spent a decent amount of time on the game I suppose, and I’m definitely not used to spending this much time on a game and still being bottom of the barrel. If half the guys in bronze 4 have mastery 7 with a quarter of a million points, there is no way this game doesn’t have the highest skill floor
It’s time!!

Also, tell me you haven’t played a hard game without telling me.
while it was not popular and is dead now. battlerite was hard as fuck
If you’re a normal solo queue player, the plan is to learn tricks or popular strategies that work, which most people in low elo don’t know about. Either rotations, jungle invades, how to freeze the wave to deny the enemy safe farming, etc. Climbing to Gold should be fairly easy if you play a champion that is rewarding when you do things well in the early game.
As a Masters player who was once bronze, you literally have no idea how easy it is to improve, but it takes forever. Because of this, you have no idea that you’re improving but as you see abilities, their timers, their damage, when junglers move, how champions react, and more, you’ll automatically become a better player.
This game is all predictable, and predicting the correct outcome is how you ultimately become the best.
As someone who has played for over 13 years: Yes. The skill floor has steadily increased.
Imho a bronze player now would easily be gold back then. Anyone who argues against that should watch some “pro” games from 2010/11 and tell me with a straight face that they knew what they were doing.
Still think nothing compares to quake 3 or unreal tournement skill, that always seemed insane to me as fps player.
