What is the purpose of calculating the win ratio for draft games if system not even trying to select equal good players in oposite teams? In theory it should suggest how good we are... how often we are able to win our games... and this is all about theory...

...however, if someone would like to say that such a situation is variable then it will be possible to say that the system would aim for a balance of 50%, and the win ratio is not a rating of our game but the rating of the system itself and how often this system can manage properly (or not) match players .

...but if somebody will try to say "that is not like that and players are slected by similiar MMR" then it will be ask - how it is possible if players are represent 3 absolutely differnet skill level divisions? Is that mean that "gold, silver, bronze, iron, platinum, diamont" is not more than a "name/word" and those words are only sort players?

Why you guys don't understand that matches are calculated by HIDDEN MMR?! Hidden MMR is your real skill.

Also you can't get demoted before you hit 3(?) Tier of the next lower division. So if you are Silver 4 -> 0 points you can lose and lose but will not demote UNTILL your hidden MMR is Bronze 3.

That means you can have Silver 4 Player in your Bronze 3 games because their hidden MMR is Bronze 3. But you can also win SO much games one after another, that your MMR climbs faster than your real ELO. So it can happen that you are Bronze 3 but your hidden MMR is Bronze 1 already. You can even skip Tiers. If you win so much it can happen that your MMR is so far ahead that your real Elo jumps from Silver 4 to Silver 2 after Promos because your hidden MMR was Silver 1 already.

Now it can happen that there is a real bad Silver 4 player in a Bronze 3 game (because he is on a losing streak and his hidden MMR is Bronze 3). And then there is a Iron 2 Smurf account who is only winning. So his MMR is climbing very fasr and already hit Bronze 3.

So that's why there is a Silver 4 and an Iron 2 player in the same game. But both of them have the same HIDDEN MMR!

Notice how lux and ww did the best (hard to calculate how well a support does) as low ranks, and the s3 fiora did the worst as the highest rank.

I went 16-3 before and play with 3 plats as a gold 3. (Went from gold 4 0 lp to gold 3 promos to gold 2). It makes sense because the game would be holding me back.

Also the placement games usually give people iron even if they are high ELO and they have to climb high
