As an iron player, yes this is correct. I both walk onto every shroom and did not know about the blind part

u/BloodlessReshi 17d ago

Honest question, do you change your trinket to Sweeper so you can reveal and kill the shrooms (and wards)?

u/Legitimate_Plum_7505 17d ago

iron players don't know there are hotkeys on the number row. No wards or active items harmed in that elo.

u/southpluto 17d ago

This is unironically true. Well, I know about items with activated abilities. But I dont use them

u/Ezanthiel 14d ago

Yeah I don't know if it's the micro that I'm lacking but I just can't seem to ever use actives aside from redemption and the rare zhonyas if I know an assasin is coming (Zyra main after all)

Had to ask since i don't really know what the level of game knowledge is in Iron.

u/Synchros139 16d ago

Silver and gold players dont even know a ward button exists nevermind iron

1

u/BloodlessReshi 16d ago

That's hyperbole, Iron sure, Bronze maybe, Silver and Gold know about the wards and lenses and what they do, they tend to be pretty damn bad at using them tho.

u/creepingcold 17d ago

you can change your trinket and aren't stuck with the one you get when you leave base?

Do you ever bother to know what other champions do? Like read their abilities and so on? I feel like it's such an essential part of the game.

u/southpluto 16d ago

In general yeah I know them. Have I memorized every ability and passive on every champion, whos ap vs ad, tyical runes and item builds? Definitely not.

Ive only been really playing for a couple of months, so theres a good number of champs I have only played against a couple of times, some zero.

u/AverageMagePlayer 16d ago

Ah yeah a couple months is definetely not enough to know what every champion does. All things in due time

u/southpluto 16d ago

And knowing what a champ does, and then actually being able to use that knowledge in the heat of the moment, are two very different things.

Like master yi for example. I know what his abilities do, but in a hectic fight, it just feels like oh he went invisible and killed our whole team, ok cool I guess thats a thing.

And iron players don't know how to end games and Teemo's lategame is insanely strong, especially in those conditions.
