Interesting, i was not aware of that. I know that there are ranking systems better than ELO now a days but they become mathematically complicated. With ELO you can essentially calculate you change easily enough with a pocket calculator as It was developed before powerful computers. The newer systems are more actuate but need a computer to calculate. I would suspect LoL to use more complicated formulas but retain the name ELO simply because it's kind of standard.
