These last few days I've been playing a few games on my friend's acc and I've basically just been playing some random champs that I felt like playing (with sub-par runes in every game - he has 2 runepages and not a lot of runes either). This far I've carried him from 1300 to 1482 with something like a 10-2 or 11-2 score. I've been pulling ridicolous scores like 20-1-xx and 14-2-xx in almost every game. You obviously wouldn't be able to carry like that if your real elo was 50-100 points of Elo lower than it should be, but if your real elo is way above the people you play with then it should really be easy to carry 70% of your games HARD. I guess this was a bit messy, what I'm trying to say is that if your "real" Elo is just slightly above where your actual Elo is then it might take a long time to get to your "real" elo, but if you should be a lot higher than you are then the first couple hundreds of Elo shouldn't take long. However, you can get unlucky and the time it takes for you to reach your "real" elo will be lengthened. Similarly you can also drop below your "real" elo after reaching it, but at some point you should reach it again, unless you got lucky the first time around or you worsened as a player. | ||

And yet I managed to stay 1600 for over 300 games untill the reset. And ofcourse you can compare them, people did not vastly improve over the course of 10 minutes. | ||

If nothing else, the top end of the ladder didn't magically get 200 Elo worse. Elo just hasn't spread out as much as it was season 1 yet. Elo is a relative scale--it's not an absolute measure of skill, so the only thing that's really definitive at all is your relative placement. | ||

Now, I feel I have to do absolutley everything. If I do 1 misstake it's pretty much over. I wouldn't give a shit about numbers if I felt that it was fun to play and that I was playing with equals, like I felt before the reset.It just means the Elo scale shifted/shrunk ; numerically it might be different but it doesn't mean your placement necessarily is. | ||

Its about the little things. When A player reaches a point at a certain elo where he can have a lot of consistent success individually, IE owning your lane and always having good KDA or w/e but lose still they start to blame others. What they do not realize is that even though your individual mechanics have improved to a point to be really good for that elo level they do not have the game knowledge or sense to actually carry. They don't support other lanes or guide your team towards objectives or just making solid decisions. They basically make mistakes that are essentially not obvious while excelling at the obvious parts of the game. So when this happens blame is assigned to other players as opposed to themselves. | ||

Yet I never saw Caitlyns stacking nothing but + attack dmg in all slots of their runes. Support gangplanks Mid that doesn't understand when you tell them to come get blue ect ect. I could mention at least 50 traits that did not exist before the reset at the level I was comfortable with that I have to deal with now. | ||

So you have 4 of these people on your team, and 5 on the other team, and this is a bad thing for you... why? Support GP owns btw | ||

Whenever I get those on the other team my team just goes 40-1, but the other 50% of the games the rest of my team goes 1-40. I havn't played a single close game in season 2. And that is the problem for me atm. Instead of like it was when I gained my ELO in Season 1 where you got complete morons you had to carry I could do that. Now people just give up at the slightest fucking sign of not crushing the other team. | ||

Elo Hell thread ~~~ Edit: Why not necro? Or why not just have an 'Elo Discussion Thread'? A lot of what people are saying have truth (imo imo imo) in them. What kinda bugs me is the people that seem to imply EVERYTHING YOU'RE SAYING IS WRONG, I'M RIGHT. Guess I need thicker skin. | ||

In comparison to season 1 the average skill level is definitely higher, at least in terms of knowing about baron/dragon/warding. The strongest heroes are also for the most part really hard to dominate no matter how good you are. There's just not that much you can do in lane when they pick a hero like morg/cass/cho/nasus/gp etc...especially if you have to worry about lee sin/rammus ganking during the window where someone like nasus is weak. I think there's huge potential for variation in elo, especially if you aren't coaching your team, playing the most OP champs, doing every little cheeze possible and duo queueing with someone else good. Obviously if you aren't doing those things but make a huge forum post complaining it's kind of dumb, but you it's definitely not true that if you're a good player its easy to carry bads. Even hotshot was stuck at 1600/1700 until he duo q'd, and he's got stream recognition (people try harder because they know he's good) + is considered one of the best players in the game. Even Lapakaa was down at like 1400 elo at one point, you can see his udyr and nocturne win rates are super low from this stretch. edit: I'm by no means saying it's impossible to get out of btw, just that if the majority of your team fails its hard to carry no matter how good you are. | ||

I think of rating like grades in a class, the tests in this case being ranked games. Games aren't exempt from the traits of "bad tests," such as questions unrelated to what you've studied--or in many cases, questions unrelated to the constructs general consensus says the tests measure (general consensus of course being unreliable). Cheating is always possible, e.g. duoing with a skilled smurf breaks the system completely (my current rating is probably inflated for this reason). Don't let bad test scores/rating convince you that low grades = low intelligence or low rating = no skill, but also do not forget the useful and often accurate conclusions that can be drawn from a glance at someone's rating--doing well on tests means you are good at taking tests, and any other inferences are just that. Also take grad student advice with a grain of salt--they are very smart within their chosen field, but unless they know the right people in the right places, they'll trade their credentials for a job in a heartbeat. | ||
