One game does NOT show a persons skill.

Something I see a lot in game that I'm getting sick of. That 0/4 bot lane is not a shit player who bot their account. You beating someone a higher ranked than you once does not mean you deserve that rank. You going 10/2/0 in a game does not make you a god and better than everyone on your team. Games are random, shit happens. I've had games where I go 12/0 and carry, I've beaten diamond players as a gold player, I've lost to bronze / silver players, I've gone 0/6 in lane phase. Shit happens. What decides how good of a player you are is your actual rank or mmr. How well you do as an individual over multiple games and how well you work with a team.

Consistency is the true measure of skill. Though I must admit this game does have a lot of shit feeders that make climbing much much harder than it should be, but not impossible.

To be fair though, often times in Solo queue you only get to see 1 game of that persons play. It's not really a good defense for those people but i can see where they come from

Just to add on, it also doesn't show champion strength. I see a lot of people crying for nerfs/buffs, and when ask for evidence, they give one game from their match history.

This leads to a lot of game losses, a whole team blames who person who may be having a bad game, and as a result the team's performance is cut down. [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

""Something I see a lot in game"" that I'm getting sick of..... if its consistent, something is an issue.

people are usually consistent in how good or bad they are

not accounting for tilt
