It depends. Because if you put 4 mediocre players on a call with each other in TF2, they will end up top of the leaderboard. However, most people who end up doing the most never communicate, they just press button good.
i disagree, league has an experienced player base, everyone above silver knows how to play their champ competently, on mechanics alone you can only get as high as plat, you need to actually know macro to climb higher

You can definitely climb higher than Gold on the back of good macro play.
