What do you deserve?

Is the Division that you belong in the highest Division in which you can be carried or the highest Division in which you can do the carrying?

In this question, consider "Carrying" as being the deciding factor, whether that means you're the Jungler that controls the tempo of the early game, the AD Carry that explodes in the mid game to seize the game by the throat, the Support that sets the plays, or the one that makes the AD Carry immortal. Regardless of what your preferred role is, you are the reason your team wins, not just a bystander that doesn't cause your team to lose.

The highest division you can get to while working with the team. I mean this as in you are able to stay in the division with any team and not have wild fluctuation. So you are neither being carried or carrying.

There's no option to vote for both? It's absolutely impossible to dedicate my division to either or, as both can and will happen.

It's not really possible because all players have a range where they are competitive. At the lower end of that range is the level of play where you carry. And at the higher end of that range is the level where you can follow a better team around and not be a handicap. Rarely are those two the same.

I feel like you're looking at this from an awkward perspective though. We can't always dictate who we play or who we match up against, or even, what roles we get. I could get a lane I'm particularly strong in one game, but then get stuck in a lane I'm weaker in, in another. It's always going to be different, but to assume it's entirely one thing or the other is... wrong.

We're talking aggregates here. I think you're thinking about this too hard. If you can carry more often than not at a certain level, that's Answer B. If you can't but you're usually not bringing your team down either, that's Answer A.
