Not necessarily broken. That's what happened when I was a GM in SC2 (HotS beta lolol) and I played vs masters. It could be a #1 master who is more or less of equal skill, I'd get +2 for win -30 for loss. The joys of being at the top. | ||

But like we've been saying, that skill gap between blue and brown depends a lot on the rating difference. If the gap between blue and brown is 100, then that's not a big deal at all and it doesn't definitively say who is better. If the gap is 1000 like it possibly could be at your 6k level because of the queue times, then that certainly could be a problem. | ||

ELohell is not defined as a +5k player trapped in 2k range. | ||

U say that supporting in lower levels doesnt really matter. But in high lvls they do decide matches within the first 15 minutes. Then it seems to me it can be done in 3k range and being support there should be easier so u can decide the game within ten minutes. But i do think that playing support doesnt do your mmr any good, because the mmrating seems to value supports less then the team does. So, its logical he doesnt play supports. | ||

At high levels, even if a player might not be good at winning lanes or playing from behind, they at least know how to win games if they're given free farm and have a farm advantage. A support that wins 2/3 of the lanes for his team basically wins the game in a high level game. In low level games, having a free lane won't guarantee that the player ends up farmed, and on the whole lower level players are worse at maintaining advantages and are far more throw-prone. | ||

Agreed, it doesnt garantuee a player gets good farm. Therefore, playing support in lowlevel mmr doesnt help u get your mmr levelled up as fast as maintaining the 5carrystrat, fighting over xp. Valve should have used MMR to promote working together as a team and not fighting over xp. This creates alot of toxicity in games. If my teamm8 doesnt grant a medusa or PL freefarm, or valve doesnt stimulate me to really try to support in the best way i can, then its logical we get these crappy games with carrymaidens, radiance ogres and what not. Edit : And in an indirect way u maybe seem to think that elohell does exist when playing only supports. Or thats atleast how i interprate ur post  I am a 5k support trapped in 2.5k elohell, whahaha | ||

But some of them will end up taking longer time and I think he just want quick victories and move forward as fast as possible. Playing mid/solo offlane also means you don't have to rely on another person in the laning phase. | ||

It's obvious that he will climb up in no time. This is not what people claim "elo hell" to be and has absolutely no relevance in any normal setting. If anything, it should be let's say a 4k player on a 3k acc or something along those lines. I'm not sure how much the calibration games actually matter, but let's say you have a hidden rank of 3.5k and you end up losing all your games due to bad luck etc. You might end up a lot lower (maybe even close to 3k), while your actual rank might be higher than 3.5k, maybe even close to 4k (again, I have no idea if the calibration games actually matter that much, but you get my point). Anyway, I'm pretty sure he would still climb up but it would take a lot longer. | ||

and yes to what theyango says. even if you decisively win your lane that doesnt mean that your carry knows how to use that space. | ||
