Why is skill level in pvp this low?

[Zojha]

Its not just pvp. The players in this game have the lowest level of skill in any game Ive ever played period in general. I don't think there's any way to really fix it either

League of Legends was much, much, muuuuuuuuch worse. You could easily get into gold (top 30%) without even having runes nor masteries. For platinum (top 10%), having masteries and half a runepage sufficed.

Player skill has crept up considerably over the last years of course. These days, you don't have to actively "try" to get into bronze. But gee...

You don't have to work hard at anything, because your team will carry you.

And if everyone is that way...who actually carries?
