How to know, the ELO you REALLY/TRULY belong to?
We all say sometime "God, I dont belong here, but I cant climb because of ___ and ___, OMG please Riot ...". But how to know whether you TRULY belong, the League and Division you are in?
Before many of you say "Easy, whenever your Win Ratio comes near 50%, then that is where you belong, its pretty much an obvious thing".
But there are so many EXTERNAL factors (Not your Skill, not your Macro Game), that Im not sure about this. And Im not talking about Trolls, that is the easy excuse (but yes, "Trolls" exist, I agree!).
For instance, I've been Low-Gold often Seasons past, and I honestly accepted it. Never said "God Im a potential Diamond, but with lots of bad luck..." xD Lmaaooo.
But this Season, I somehow climbed to Platinum, with a bit of "Ease", compared to the Blood n Sweat of Seasons past, to get Gold, out of my impression and astonishment. And I dont really know why... My Macro-Game is a bit the same than years past. Maybe attitude towards League changed? IDK really. Thing is, I never thought "I deserve Platinum", I was just OK with Gold Tbh. PS: I suck Btw XD My MMR dropped a lot lately.
... Anyway! I just want to say everyone plays Rankeds for several reasons, one because IMHO its more fun to "Bet" LPs (Like in Poker), and others to prove where you "belong". But there is no way to know where you really deserve to be. I mean we all saw these ADCs in Silver who Kite like real Gods, and others in Platinum which literally dont move between AAs, for instance, or Junglers with better or worse "Macro game".
Btw Sorry if the post has no order as of arguments, put all my ideas inside it.
