So in the understanding of any art/matter/area of knowledge, from my point of view, one goes over five stages. You are in the Stage two transitioning to three.

Stage zero (fag stage): is when you don't actually understand the matter and to compensate you want everyone to believe you do (like those cute boobs streaming that play like noobs or).

Stage one (curiosity): is when you start to get involved. In this stage you walk over steps everyone has walked before (like playing a lot of normals and maining certain champs, using aggressive runes and spells), which I call the essentials. In LOL, it is mainly to meet the Champion rooster, have a general Idea of counters, builds, the game pace and to realize the why of the meta.

Stage two (captain obvious): After fully understanding the essentials you think you have discovered a new continent. This is marked by the unquenchable wish to say things that are obvious or to share common prejudices about stuff. Catchphrases like: "omg vayne late game op" or "I can't beat early renekton", " We need to play safe we have better late game", "No please don't pick teemo", "ADC's scale the most later in the game so they need the kills", "Caitlyn has no late game", "lee sin is a high skill cap champion", "OMG u didn't ban insert fotm champ" etc; are common. Also the general idea of silver being a decent League, the reasons why fotm champs are OP,  and that Elo Hell dissappears as you scale in leagues.

Stage Three (the deepening): This is when you start to develop your "style". You start to pick favorites. You start to realize that everything in stage two is obvious and cliché and you understand the beauty of divergence. Instinct and experience is your guide, not mobafire. You start to main certain champs and develop your own playstyle for them. You also understand that some champs are extremely more likely to win games and that they are not the banned ones (like amumu, ziggs or... fiora). Yes, olaf will rape you but olaf sucks and you will end up winning the game.

Stage Four (the don't give a fuck stage): After being fully introduced to the art/matter/area you become a snob and don't give a fuck. You understand the reality of things and that you can't change the world. But you do understand...
