Usually around diamond 3+ they start to actually be able to insec. Under that, chances are that they either can't or will do it terriby. Alistar is the same thing. Under plat, most alistar players can't even combo properly.
SOURCE: I'm a high-plat/low diamond player who has faced everything from bronze V up to challenger tiered players.
I'm plat 5 with ~plat 2 mmr and I consider myself to have terrible mechanics. Every time I get matched with d3+ players i get absolutely ruined. They genuinely make me look like an intermediate bot. That said, I feel like the diamond 3 when I play against anyone below like gold 2. I can probably get a 100% winrate in silver/gold barring afks. The level still changes a lot. In silver/low/mid gold, people generally don't kite or orbwalk or stutter-step or even watch for enemy cooldowns. The dragon/baron calls are retarded and no one thinks of preparing baron/dragon before they spawn.
In mid plat, it's a lot different. The level of play is completely different. It isn't nearly as high as d3+, but the difference is large. D1 60lp+ is a different matter entirely. I'd feel at home around d5 right now, where I think my winrate would finally start to peter out.
I think you need either really good mechanics or really good decision making to reach D5. Anything more and you start to need both.
Hoss.
Being matched against someone who is a whole League higher than you (ex. Gold 3 and Plat 3) is gonna make you look like a spaghetti bot. But really? Alistar combo? I've never failed that combo even when I was Bronze V. I don't even understand how people fail that combo.

In 2016, I'm no longer a member of toribash forum. The ex-administration (who's permbanned now) used to power abuse and opposed to me, and we are unable to reach a compromise. I am morally prohibited from staying here. I might still posting around on my friend or clan threads sometimes but not much. Goodbye.
