Except that you pulled "200 games" out of your ass that number has no basis on anything, 50 games is more than enough to give you an accurate reading.

Not to mention if you are incapable of recognizing which of your "800 elo" teammates are complete garbage and which one's can at least be used as a human shield then you are not 1600 elo caliber. You're just over-inflating your self worth.

Elo Hell is an excuse that bad players use for being bad. "best KDR on my team" does not constitute good. Nor does it even constitute the best player on that team. I almost lost a game earlier tonight because our GP, who was for seemed to be doing the best on our team, was never there for team fights. Sure he had the most kills, least deaths, most farm, etc but we were losing the game because he wasn't around and insisted on back dooring. Once we finally convinced him to join the fights we rolled the other team, but to hear him tell it we had "no chance because of the noobs on my team."s He was a bad player for not recognizing it himelf. Had he continued doing what he was planning on we would have lost and he would have walked away complaining about elo hell and how he has shitty teammates.
