link? i find this hard to believe as a game needs to be somewhere in 4k on average to be classified VH

the system only takes one or two games to put you in VH if you belong there so 2-4 doesnt really mean anything, besides everyone knows low skill games can be quite hard to carry at times for all but the very best players, this is why erasme loses in tlih all the time lol

its possible that your skill level is higher than the mmr you were assigned on your main. there have been numerous instances of players grinding smurfs to ranked and gaining massive amounts of mmr.

its also possible you've just gotten lucky in this limited sample size.

its also possible i've just gotten lucky in this limited sample size, but i've beaten enough 5-6k players (and one 7k that i know of in blitz but he wasnt playing storm so he hardly counts) to know otherwise.

its ALSO possible that mmr is actually NOT A PERFECT REPRESENTATION OF SKILL but shhh you're not allowed to say that
