"If you consider that you're not one of these morons yourself, that means your team has a lower average moron rate than the enemy team = you should win more on Fridays." I hate hate HATE that argument so much (no offense to you) its SPECIFICALLY why Riot removed the Elo system and put LP/MMR in its place. Just because you may be 50-50 to your enemy rank-wise doesnt mean you are mentally, or that both teams have equal levels of comprehension and potential-skill. Example: Yea Reginald may be on a International level team and may be a great teammate, but that doesnt mean i couldnt kick his ass 1v1, it has nothing to do with placement, its all about performance. Not performance IN RELATION to placement but raw, flat, solid skill. You cant calculate that and no rating will ever give you a perfect measure of it so your NEVER evenly matched. EVER.
