I quit ranked a number of seasons back (I think it's been 4 seasons?), so I guess I can't say for sure anymore, but back when I played I _only_ solo queued and could get reasonably close to the top 100. I consider myself, like the OP, an average+ player. But unlike OP, I land(ed) consistently around 1550, so I hung around plat 1 instead of plat 2. Despite that, top 250 is definitely within reach. Just a bit of concerted effort in terms of learning your class, how it stacks up against other commonly seen classes, and (most importantly) learning the intricacies of each map is all it takes to get into the top 250 NA. No abuse necessary.

 

So yes, you're wrong (at least about this bit), and the average player does care very little.
