How many games do you think it takes to get to your "actual" ELO?

I just made now into Gold V, it took approximately 112 games (102 if you don't count placements). I went 70-42 in those games. I wonder if at 100 games that is my correct ELO or if I should continue to grind. I decided to switch to jungle/supp this season as my mains (previously ADC) and it was MUCH easier to climb. I don't think I have the adc mechanics to carry games. Where is warding and peel takes more "mental" skill than "mechanical" skill..

Anyway, i just don't know if my score reflects a higher rank or if Gold is where I should be should i just stop the grind.

It is debatable, and depends on the player. But in my opinion, 100-200 games should put you in your true elo where you deserve to be.

However if you still have a positive win rate, keep climbing by all means. You will slowly improve, maybe without even realizing it, and with your winrate/how many games you played, I would say keep going.

Last season was my first "real" season, where I wasn't spamming garen games and just running around trying to Ult ks. lol

what is a good win rate. Mine is at 62% right now. Is that normal for ur ELO. Like, is about 60% where you should be?

If you are above 60% win rate then you would definitely climb significantly by continuing the grind

I would say %50 is normalized elo since you win and lose at the same rate. But this is after 200+ games

Statistically? It is impossible to know if you are AT your "true" elo. However, after 100 games I would expect you to be within ~50 LP of your true elo.

That's assuming that your true elo is constant (that your skill isn't changing), which is a faulty assumption.

50-100 according to the game 30 minimum if it was just some numbers u wanted to trust reasonable well

Theoretically it's impossible. Why do I say this? Because you're playing on a team of Five people. So no matter what your performance is the other four people are going to directly impact it. If at any point one of those four other players does not play on par with what your "elo" is supposed to be, or simply quits/disconnects/whatever, then blam.
