I&apos;m honestly not sure if AI games influence ELO, but from my understanding every player has 2 ELO ratings:

1) Your ranked ELO - this is the ELO you get from queueing in ranked (solo/duo, since 3v3 and 5v5 teams have ELO&apos;s associated with the team as a whole).

2) Your normal matchmaking ELO - this is a "hidden" ELO that is saved on the server for use in matchmaking during normal matches (this is why you see a difference in the kinds of matches you get between people that "just hit 30" and people that have been 30 for a while). This ELO is also probably why if you start a smurf account, eventually you&apos;re just going to be going against other smurfs, because it&apos;s very likely that only a smurf would be winning that handily at low levels.

I don&apos;t know if AI games affect the 2nd one or not. But if I had to guess, it doesn&apos;t. You may just end up at the "default" ELO when you switch to PVP from AI games - which could put you up against players you&apos;re not evenly matched against.

But to actually say something on topic xD, being an asshole is unnecessary regardless of what game-mode you&apos;re in. But I will say that demanding that people play one way or another in anything but ranked (where you would assume they would at least TRY to take it seriously) is a bit harsh. However, I&apos;m not saying that in defense of people trying to troll their teammates or ruin their game experience - that&apos;s still being an asshole.

I play ranked seriously, but in every other mode, I&apos;m just trying to have fun (not at the expense of my team&apos;s ability to play/enjoy the game though).
