this dudes an idiot, yeh i understand what you just said. but that doesnt fix the fact you cant do anything with a team that pure feeds/has leavers etc. even if u are playing pretty damn smart and owning your lane, had too many games where i was uber fed, then their entire team was uber fed. as in 1 fed guy on my team (me) compared to a whole team thats fed, and having downing kids doing things that throw the game, it happens all the time, whoever posted this is not accounting, leavers, afkers, lag, dcers,feeders as in 2/15/0 (example of a feeder) about 90% of the games around 800-1400 elo has one of those. to me, for being in the "right" elo, is like (using your basket ball theory) having me and players at my skill lvl, score for score, or close by 2-5 points, that right there says that you are playing an even skill lvl game. on top of your theory, you forgot the players that have more of an option of runes is less likely to win against a player full of runes. hence players being in the same elo for like 1k wins in ranked. do some math on how many games you have to win and add the occasional loses for an average player to get a 6300 champ, or decent runes as in a full page for each role/ situation etc. i hate it when people say runes dont make a difference. find a player without runes that is ur exact equal as in 1v1 takes u queers forever to kill each other just even once. or you guys equally kill each other tons, whatever. to me if u get those same skill lvl players almost cloned in playstyle etc, pick the same champs 1 with runes 1 without, the one with runes will more than likely win every game, now most people at lvl 30 jump right into ranked with only 2 rune pages, which remember most people want a champ variety over rune pages, cuz tbh playing within a 10 champ range is friggen lame more than likely low tier champs. on top of that, most people jump into ranked, having no clue how to play all roles/ and even if they can play all roles, some cant even counter champs or builds, as in others can, in the same elo. you get them unskilled players/ none variety of champs/runes and rune pages guys then its gg for your team. no matter how good you are, you cant 1v5 a team thats doin great vs your team, so your theory is invalid.
