No, chess players with 2400 Elo would be that much more likely to win at chess versus a chess player with 1200 Elo. Those numbers don't apply to League of Legends.

More importantly, because everyone starts out at 1200, if you randomly pick players at Elo 1200 then chances are you're going to get a lot of players who simply haven't played enough games for their Elo score to actually reflect their level of skill. So calculating the chance of winning isn't that easy.
