it just seems like the very notion of having your 'skill level' (in a very general sense) being known to you in a very objective format would inevitably make people unhappy unless they are at the very top. | ||

No, because you can always blame your team mates. | ||

I've had some great games in norma where I felt the teams were well matched... haven't played enough games in ranked yet to say the same thing. | ||

So someone in gold can win two matches in a row and then have to get destroyed by diamond players for a while until they get about 100 games under their belt. Chess is a good system though :D | ||

80% is a terrible way to decide most games. Yes, you will eventually end up where you belong, but who the hell wants to grind out a couple hundred games to get to thier proper skill level. | ||

I'm well aware it was a person's name. It is, however, usually capitalized these days. While your opinion is neither provably wrong nor particularly unusual, posting it (repeatedly) doesn't add anything to the discussion -- you come off either as raging or a troll. Not that you're particularly unique in that -- a lot of people have posted worthless crap in this thread. But you have come back, again (and again!) to do so. | ||

EDIT: 1628 now. I've been doing a lot better, picking based off team comp, etc. and not raging nearly so hard. As a result I've carried nearly every game (not one in match history have i gone negative kdr, only 2 losses). Hell, had one game where I carried Elementz's Cho'gath with Nasus. I still get a lot of really awful teams, but some of them aren't uncarryable ^_^ Hopefully 1700 within 2 weeks. | ||
