  High elo champions have one specific condition that isn&apos;t met in lower tiers: your teams awareness to play to the win con of the high elo champ...for example, when you have Nidalee on your team, it&apos;s to be expected that you &nbsp;can play lanes hyper aggressive so that she can bully the enemy jng

  One of the best examples I find is support as a role<br>In low elo, you can catch out and engage small mistakes that would be game winning if anyone followed up or commited, but because you&apos;re in low elo, no one does.<br>Whereas in high elo, if an alistar q-flashes someone, everyone will immediately take advantage.<br><br>It&apos;s the same for bard

  I never understood exactly why Kassadin is so weak in lower ranks when low elo has a reputation for dragging out long enough for him to scale. Can anyone explain this anomaly?

  Trying to play fiddlesticks in low elo was just me having to remind myself not to try and force plays for my team. Save ult for rift or drag til late game and just. Play how I need to knowing my team won&apos;t help me.

  There are two main factors for why champs fail in low ELO but succeed in high elo:<br><br>The first is margin for error: How badly are you punished for making mistakes / how easy is it to make a mistake with the character. &nbsp;If your champion&apos;s primary form of DPS is autoattacking/point and click abilities and they&apos;re also naturally durable, that&apos;s probably a very forgiving champion compared to one that relies on skillshots, cooldowns or active defenses. <br><br>The second is reliance on specific/niche tech: Does the player know how to take advantage of bushes mid-fight as Rengar, or to use low-health enemy minions to extend Irelia&apos;s threat range, or have a degree in 4 dimensional geometry to effectively use Vel&apos;Koz. Techs that require significant practice to identify when to use them. Camille and Nocturne can both jump on someone from half a map away, but all Nocturne has to do is click on them.

  Should put a disclaimer that even noobstompers/low elo champion can still work at high elo. Good example is at one point a Master Yi main became rank 1 challenger in EUW
