EPTI stopped playing ranked after I got 4 4v5s in a row due to disconnects. It was extremely unfortunate, and irritating on all levels. Since then, I only play arranged fives either blind or draft pick and try fun strats like jungle annie with friends playing kat (or kennen) mid. It's ridiculous how strong that shit is mid-game. As long as your top doesn't feed, you should be able to snowball the game. But I digress, the point being that ranked for me was a terrible experience and I get much more from playing troll picks with friends than getting stuck with a bunch of people who just don't have the brains to play LoL. There's much more strategy to the game than people think. If you manage to educate your team during a game (provided they're willing to listen) you should be winning around (arbitrarily thrown number alert) 70% of your games.

As such I'm a complete noob, but isn't it possible that someone who is theoretically "decent" could be stuck at lower ELO's because he keeps getting matched with bad teammates? Or is dramatically higher skill on one team member enough to swing the game in his/her favor despite teammates who act stupidly? Just an honest question forgive my lack of understanding. it is possible, just very improbable. Given the extremely large number of people playing this game, just mathematically it's bound to have happened to some of them. However, the odds of any one person who says they are getting screwed this way actually being one of those people as oppessed to self-deluding is vanishingly small, especially since the majority of people have what is considered an undesirable elo. Also consider it just as likely for somebody to be stuck at a higher rating than they deserve. Given what the op has described of his games his knowledge seems to be a little lacking so i doubt this is the fabled elo hell striking. | ||
