Serious question. Everyone I am matched up with knows way more about the game than I do. I don't find myself learning anything. I'm Silver 2 and ALL of my teammates and opponents have 1000+ games. Maybe MOBAs aren't for me? I don't suck anywhere near this much in SC2, CSGO, or TF2. People often argue that LoL is WAY easier. Help.

dunno, one of the things that kept me from the MOBA universe was the amount of knowledge I felt I had to have before I could feel like I really knew anything about the game. Like I didn't know half the skills other players had, or possible builds, so I felt every decision I made was kinda a luck based guess and I didn't like that :(.

theres not that much to know about LoL relatively, ur best bet is to just keep playing and watch streams and get ur own feel for it

Play with bots and just work on last hitting perfectly without runes/masteries and you'll be better than anyone you're matched up against in gold/plat just because most people at that elo don't farm well consistently. Haven't played seriously in about a year but that was enough to get me into Plat when I first started ranked. Hope it helps

echoing what nick said, the lowest hanging fruit is just being able to cs well and using that advantage to just be straight up stronger than your opponents

you'll find that even in d1 there are plenty of players who aren't fantastic at the easiest aspect of the game to improve at which blows my mind

watch streams and question why they do what they're doing. question why you did what you did after you die. practice last hitting as others have said. add me on EUW if you want: numlocked :)

LoL can be mechanically easy depending on what champion you're playing but there are quite a few champions where you need low ping and good reflexes to play well, and they are certainly not easy. As for the burden of knowledge there is a huge amount of thinking involved in every role and the best way to learn it all is play different champion archetypes in different roles and watch what pro players do.

You're probably not being held back mechanically but being able to cs 100% of a wave while under no pressure is a skill that's really important to have.

If you're serious about getting better I'd suggest watching mentoring videos especially from https://www.youtube.com/user/lastshadow9 (he's very unprofessional/jokey but extremely smart and good at coaching) watch your own replays back and think of what you could've done better.
