One thing Riot does not seem to account for in Ranked ELO

There are a lot of people the play sub par Champions because they like said champion. The ELO system only accounts a player by wins/losses but Some players lose more then win because they like to play say Zyra Mid (where she is suppose to be) if you do you WILL be losing more then winning.

The system does not Handycap champs that BECAUSE OF RIOT are sub par. Your team is not adjusted because your team has shit champs.

Basically You have to play Meta and TOP 5 of your role else you are hurting your Rank and your teams Rank.

But since I have ZERO control on what my team picks as champs Im at their whim to if we are the underdog or not.

Dodging is the only way to add any control over this and Riot really does not want you to dodge so hurts you for doing so.

This is in part why Low ELO is such a shit fest and why if you only SoloQ can be hard or not possible to climb.

lets get this straight, you have a 47% win rate, and your blaming yourself for letting your team-mates down and you wish for riot to address this by reducing the LP loss of your team-mates every time they lose due to being stuck with you the team?

noble actions indeed, very thoughtful dude right here.

Assuming you only pick meta champions, you're less likely to get a weird pick on your team (4/5) than the enemy team (5/5). So if this is true:

Basically You have to play Meta and TOP 5 of your role else you are hurting your Rank and your teams Rank

Then in the long run the fact that people play off meta champs actually helps you climb.

Secondly, I completely disagree that you have to play a top 5 champ to climb out of bronze, or even silver. Maybe once you get to gold it starts to make a difference. But still, there are way more than 5 viable champs for any lane.

Op feels that his win rate is exclusively due to thd teammates that "riot" gives him. So good luck using logic or math. Your gonna get "I am better but it's riots mm holdibg me down."

I have offered to duo with the guy if he wants help.
