How do you win in ranked?
when mid goes 1-13?
I've thought about how I'd statistically win in a standardized scale.
Let's say my really bad teammate is a 1
Everybody on the opposing team is 2x as good as him and beats him hard, making the enemy a team of 2's
To proportionally compensate for how bad my teammate was beat, I would have to be a 4, 2x the enemy team's average skill level. If my entire team averages a 1.5, that adds to a 7.5, while the other team adds to a 10
The difference is 2.5, x2 makes a 5
Meaning I would have to play at a skill level of** 5** to compensate a team avg of 1.5. I would have to be playing at 2.5x higher skill than ALL the enemy players(meaning if one was a 3 I'd have to play like a 7.5), and this is if the other team has no point-n-click abilities/Auto attacks.
Right I am gold 2, I was Gold 1 on the verge of Platinum. 2.5x higher skill of Gold 2 would be between Plat 3-1.
If you really wanted to get crazy you could add in factors of the level of communication of the other team making and even higher standard to beat.
Tl;dr ranked is cancer
