Your skill score is the average of all of your skills – on a scale of 0 (don‘t even know it exists) to 100 (as close to perfect as possible). So how does this help me? – Well lets break the ladder up into skill brackets. It takes a ton of work to get from great to nearly perfect in any skill.

This is also why people say the skill difference between Challenger and Diamond is as large or larger than the skill difference between Diamond and Bronze. It‘s much harder to see gains after this point. The initial gains are the quickest and after a certain point you plateau (though you‘re really still improving). Now it will take him several days or even weeks to get up to the 100 CS at 15 minutes that is considered good CS. Someone who never knew that last hitting was a thing and usually never had more than 30 CS at 15 minutes starts to try to last hit. Improving in any of those skills will have a positive impact on your game – so it‘s not that one or other is more important.įurthermore, it‘s easier to make huge gains in skills you didn‘t have before and see those gains quickly than perfecting something you are already good at. Map awareness – both (you need to be able to look at the map often and quickly AND understand it)

These are great general categories, but many important skills fall into one, both or neither. The game often gets broken down into two components: game knowledge and mechanical skill.
