I would like to share my own personal experiences today, because of the events that occurred today. Of course some may disagree about this for whatever reason, but let me just tell the story today. I played a normal queue with a friend and midded against a 1600 elo (I am 980). I beat him in lane, but we lost because my team fed. This guy did better than me in the end because he got those noob kills, and he wanted to 1v1 me. I 1v1ed him in Draft, and Blind Pick, and I wrecked him both times, so I don't think It's a coincidence. That's when I noticed his elo.

Now I came across this seeing if there's somewhere to express my hatred. Elo is a number, an inaccurate number that is sometimes correct, but mostly not. Elo is NOT based on true skill for the most part, because your team could be terrible and you lose every game, or your team carries you to 1400 elo. That's my story and opinion, whether you hate it or love it. Riot please, just try something different.

And then we see the guy in the 1470s complain that a noob (you) was carried and placed on his team and he lost.

It's so funny that you don't complain about the noobs on the other team in the game you got 18 kills, but I am sure you do complain about the noobs on your team when you received 0 kills.

Ah, that's right, there are never noobs on the other team, you're just that good when you carry, the noobs are never on the other team.

False logic bud, try again. The noob (unless you are the noob) is on the other team 25% more often than on your team.
Oh yeah.. because if I lose a game because I get a troll support or troll mid that goes 0/6 leaving the enemy to snowball and roam and I lose it's because I wasn't ready for that elo? That sounds like much better logic than mine. Why don't you stfu and read what you're typing before you hit submit.
