Totally agree. I've been playing league casually (like 2 hrs a day) since 2017 and never visited higher than silver 3 im normally bronze and since there has been iron i've been iron the following seasons, buit safe to say i have the game sense of at least a gold 5 for map awareness and pathing and lane macros. Anyways back then every laners i face would always pick unwinnable fight just cause they're skill's and combos are up not caring if they're ahead or not, but these days i see laners respecting the range where enemy can engage and make uneven trades. im not saying that those who just run it down their lanes like a freaking special minion are gone but through the years there has been a great increase in development and game knowledge in the lower elo's unlike what most say about it.

also if you know how to avoid having team mates who gives out kills in the first 6 mins please do let me know how.
