>if you actually need to consciously study how to play the game to climb you should just give up
like you said, there is some truth to it
it's correct and incorrect at the same time

this is coming from a player who peaked chall and was rank1/high rated in a couple other competitive games
whenever i play i just takes notes of cringe shit i do and i make sure to never do the same mistakes again because it's embarrassing
because i am bashing myself for bad plays during the game, these moments act like bookmarks that i will keep in mind and remember for a while(depending on the severity of the mistake)

with this mindset i am always improving without even checking my replays
HOWEVER
a lot of the times the mistakes i make are way before shit hits the fan, maybe it's a macro mistake or maybe it's a wasted summoner 2 minutes ago that would've changed the outcome of the fight
in the heat of the moment it's easy to say "i should've just positioned better but this fight still looked hard because enemy had too many spells up" when in reality i should've been 100% safe if i didn't waste my flash

you will pick up on a lot more mistakes when you watch replays, watching replays is always 100% correct as long as you keep an eye on potential missed points and you know what you are looking for
but like you said, a lot of players just have a different mindset where they don't need to force themselves to learn because they are learning passively all the time

earlier to day i spotted this vid on yt

>just write down key notes from game bro
and i remembered laughing at this retard for not being able to learn passively
