You could get great teammates every game that carry you to like plat .-. Or you could be super good but every game you play everyone feeds. they need to find some other way to test your skills, maybe with your KDA or something.

Meep Man1 votesRanking far and away correlates best with how good a player is. Obviously it has a lot of flaws but there is no better stat to use right now.
You could always use your eyes since most of the times when this is brought up, you can either easily access their match history or are in a game with them and can watch how they perform.
Sir Yamazuki1 votesNo one is going to be lucky and get carried all the way to plat. A Bronze/Silver would feed every game and not even be able to be carried in mid~high gold+.

SwiftKitten881 votesi agree with haalp,, while the ranking system does have alot of flaws. kda would be a lot worse.
im currently ranked in silver 4 and i would easily rank myself gold 5 at my main. im still climbing but its so damn slow becuase i don't play carry champs so i need to rely on my teammate a lot more.
another issue with ranking system is while i may be gold 5 at my main.. im probaly around silver 1 or 2 at my jungle and around silver 3 as support. as ADC im probably like bronze 4. and top I'm probably silver 3 or 4.. so while i may be able to beat almost any silver player on my main. i cant instalock my main every game and expect my teammates to be forced to play champs they cant play. that would be like having someone trying to make me adc in a ranked game.
as for why going by kda is bad as a support your not supposed to take the kills,, and as a jungler i like to give the kills to the laner that im ganking so they can win without me having to gank them again constantly.. also certain champs are "carry champs" which usually have a much higher kda
SS Enforcer1 votesYea, get good teammates every single game until plat... seems legit.
Colgate Gator1 votesUsing your own argument.
"You could get crappy enemies each game so your KDA gets up or competent ones and your KDA wouldn't go up."
Mecha MaIphite1 votesYes it does. There are games where I have gone 20/5 but still played poorly, because I was focusing on kills and not objectives, forgetting to mia or ward, and failing to snowball the other lanes with my lead, effectively wasting my gold. Kda isn't everything.
