EPTThe extra movespeed / AS from the dancer makes minion kills a sure thing mid-lategame so IE is not far behind. My last item is usually survivability becuase I'm pretty darn squishy by this point.

I'm around +95, and I've seen a notable spike in the quality of opponents going from +85 to +95 in the past week, if that's of any help. +95 is my "wall" at the moment, whenever I go over it I go on like a two-game losing streak to knock me back down. Doesn't help that when I hit +98 I screwed around in games to knock me back down, but yea ;p I believe redtooth is around +105, as is Aerox, and Brees I'm gonna guess is like +120. Both of them are on a definitely higher level than me, as I've yet no seen bigfatjiji's premade (or I'm just lucky, not sure). I do see grandjudge and cfang, so I assume I see most of the top players, just not the tip of the pyramid.

How do they end up in the same "bracket" if they never win? I know ELO isn't an exact science but you'd think that you'd only occasionally get paired up against those players if they were that much worse than you (i.e. the matchmaker couldn't find a proper match and so went down a rung). There're a lot of people that're comfortable in one or two heroes at this level, that epic fail when they try other things, especially when their stuff gets nerfed. For example, Snowflake420D, although redtooth maintains he's a one-trick-pony with Janna, I find he's more of a one-trick pony with Shaco. When he plays non-OP stuff he's really underwhelming. Finkill, who I've seen play ~8 heroes, is competent laning, but he gets caught out of position SO MUCH and dies alone. I think he's pretty notorious for losing his team games that way. Even two days ago I was playing with Korea Angel, who actually basically taught me how to play Amumu, but he managed to go 3-14-5 with an initiating (lol) Tristana. There're also people like STN Tryhard and TomahawkJoe and WigWig whom I'm pretty sure ride the coattails of a superior friend to maintain their status. STN, for instance, always queues with Master of LoL, who while not absolutely useless nor great is capable of carrying his team when he plays something stupid like Kat. But how good is he? Let's just say he got his ass beat in REALLY BADLY by Arcerms in an Ashe vs Ashe solo mid duel. STN has actually cost me like 3 games out of 3 so far, so that I queue-dodge him. How so? Aside from his spectacular 0-6 Shaco fail against Regina1d, he also had a game where he got Arrowed in our base while defending tower and died, as Kayle, without being able to ult, in a situation where he simply had to step back and stay alive for 2 seconds. Why in god's name was he all the way in front? Because he doesn't know how to play long games. | ||

 55% on just solo queueing is pretty good, that's around where I am. | ||

Matchmaking strives you bring you to a 50% winrate. That means if you're at 50%, you're sitting on status quo - you're playing to your perceived level. Breaking over 50% means you're playing "over" your perceived level, and at the moment it seems ~55% is considered "okay." | ||

On June 30 2010 00:28 WaveofShadow wrote: So you never play team games Mogwai? And that's something I never understood about the matchmaking....basically of my friends who play (6 of us), there is one experienced DotA/Hon player who does pretty well no matter who he's on, then me, then 4 others who aren't as good. We tend to win/lose evenly but many times we face other premades who are way better than us collectively even though at any time 3-4 of the people playing assumedly don't have high ELO. Mog tends to solo queue, as do I. I don't like premading in a big bunch, because... Theoretically MM takes the average of your group's hidden elo rating. Then it adds an elo boost if it detects the possibility of smurfing (ie. someone's 1500 and someone's 1000, the 1000 might be treated as a 1200... which is a significant boost). Then it further adds an elo boost for the size of the group, because a larger group is more likely to be organized. Solo queueing (or 2-manning) is more likely to factor in your original elo instead of this artificially huge elo). It's why I'm often puzzled at the people who cry FIVE MAN OR BUST because five-manning is really tiresome, having to play against other five-mans or against five individually superior players. | ||

Another thing - with LoL having runes and masteries, why does the game even have a random option? These game features are diametrically opposed. On June 29 2010 23:59 Mogwai wrote: -Energy Runes are ***ing terrible because: 1) they only doing something on 3 characters 2) they force riot to balance ninjas around 70 Energy Regen/5 rather than 50 3) because of 2, in order to play ninjas, you will need Energy Runes, thus trivializing pre-game setup for them. If #2 and #3 come true I will be so disappointed :< I haven't done the math yet but I'm going to figure out what rune setup will be best for Shen. You've got to consider energy regen vs total vs his ability cooldowns - stacking all the energy runes could leave him with more than he'll ever practically need, and you'll be missing his tank buffs from HP Quints and whatever. | ||

Ah this actually explains quite a bit about my current W/L record and my past history of games dependant on who I play with/how many of this group of 6. I guess if I start playing more solo games to supplement the 5-man AT games my record will be higher than 52/51.  | ||

Cooldown reduc is hardly significant because the main bottleneck is having the energy to spam your spells, particularly in the case of Akali and Kennen. At that point, #3 becomes true, and because everyone has energy runes, they'll be balancing with energy runes in mind. Congratulations, all of you've accomplished is make energy runes a requirement to playing ninjas, because otherwise you're playing a hero that's balanced with you having extra energy regen in mind.

I'm a total noob.. but where can you see your ELO ? You can't. But with the start of Season 1, summoner level 20+ will be able to see theirs and other people's as far as I understood. | ||
