League: unfair determination of skill
Now most people say that people are stuck in their elo because they cant carry themselves out, well i am sorry to break it you my friends, but league is a team game it is designed to promote team work in order to progress to victory, if league was designed for you to carry yourself it would be a lot of 1v1s and this isnt call of duty where everyone is balanced and solely based on skill. balancing issues come into play too such as champion strengths and items, but the biggest factor is your team. if a team does not co operate it will not win, if more than half it is not good at the game it will not win. you could carry all day, but if your team is not somewhat decent you will lose. this system seems to also be designed in order to lock people into tiers so that way people will not progress to status with people who have been playing this game for years, yes one day you could climb to higher tiers, but it will most likely take a year or 2 to even get there. i have done some run throughs on alternate accounts trying to carry teams in ranked and it is just not possible without a decent team, even when i was 32-4 someone on my team would throw the game by giving up objectives or constantly dying and letting the enemy team catch up to me. so sorry guys, but you cant carry yourself out by yourself, you need your team so the best thing to do is pray, work together, be nice, and pray some more that they dont suck.
