My soloQ win percentage is continuously rising. I'm pretty sure once you get out of the dunghole, matchmaking is actually pretty decent.

I went from -5 to +30 in about a month after I dropped premades and playing almost only solo Q.

@1) So Level 30's don't have the same chance of losing as level 20's? Or are you saying that 20's are inferior to 30's? Whatever statement you're claiming, it doesn't make sense.

@2) So there are more offenders sub 30 than level 30's. Cool. More reason to limit ranked to 30s.

@3) What about those unlucky level 30's who always somehow end up with a much inferior team cause his elo to drop immensely?

Grackis is very forgettable as a player IMO.

Funny that I read this right before I played this game.



I was like, ah shit Grackis is pretty well known and he is Ezreal so this could be a rough game. Turns out all he did was try to mystic shot me bottom lane (had 2 cs) and try to zone me while just failing hardcore. I mean yeah his team failed with him but even in previous games when I'd play with Grackis he would do very very mediocre and talk a lot of shit. Although I did win a 4v5 with him once. :$

Anyway the Singed on my team was amazing... like, scary amazing. He basically let me solo the bot lane while he jungled with poison gas and drinking red pots and then he'd just come gank people. Oh and farm. Lots of farm.

For the level 20 or level 30 discussion, I think personally it should be so that if you're below 30 you can only participate in ranked if you're part of a full premade (i.e. no solo or duo queuing). That way you can't fuck higher level players up that don't want you on their team and will only be with people that want to play with you.

@1 I'm saying that if your sub 30 and you pre-make, your with teammate who know you and respect the fact your not 30. If you solo queue sub 30, you'll end up with people level 30 who will blame the loss on you, even if its the sub 30 duo laning with a 30, or by a pro player who isn't 30 able to turn the tables in the early game. Its unlikely but there are those sub 30 who actually succeed (though mostly mid 20's not early 20's)

@2 Think the gist of what I was saying is that the leavers might have a previous record and that by also comparing the average leave rate of players vs ranked leave rate you might be able to get a better comparison of those with a history vs those who leave despite the fact of a clean record. 4.2% leave rate at level 20, might be 4.2% leave rate ALL the time, while level 30's might have a better leave rate because theres more of them, there might also be the fact that leavers with a strong history of leaving is bringing that value up. Only 1.2% of leavers in 30, might be 100% of those with a history of leaving.

@3 If a level 30 loses 100 points, maybe they play with a level 20 who gained 100 points. Sometimes solo queue has luck to it, or its another way to say "don't suck." If your lane falls its your fault, if another lane falls its luck, but eventually bad luck goes away (it might be S2, but it evens out in the end.)

Yeah, the main reason an individual who plays a lot of ranked games can't get over 1200 is that their skill level is below 1200. Ranked games are competitive guys. Half of players are below average, that's how it goes. If anyone has a good connection to God or knows someone who does, be sure to request that the next time he creates a universe, to try make average be 10th percentile so that most everyone can be above average on something like this ;p

Bad luck cuts both ways, it's very hard to play a lot of games and primarily get 'bad luck', especially because we know that if you are about 200-300 pts over the game, you generally carry.

Lastly, leadership ends up being part of your ranked random rating. Sorry... just the nature of it. It was this way in WC3 also.
