Talk:Elo rating system/@comment-175.140.217.41-20120222160413/@comment-24.1.84.47-20120228012524

my cousin was @ 1100 and my brother was @ 1200 and i got both of them rated duo que'ing with some random dudes who were rated like 800 and 900 elo who were complaining on the forums about elo hell. They are both above 1200 now as are my cousin and my brother. I had no trouble carrying games when i duo'ed with them I just first picked mid mostly and carried easily. That is why i dont believe in elo hell. I do believe in random luck in the game tho, disconnects due to major life events or connectivity, tired people playing bad, drunk people playing bad, etc. I just cross my fingers and hope for the best. @ one point i had a 7 loss streak this season and was @ 1250 and atm i'm on a 10 game win streak and am 1500. Hard to say what my "true" elo is but i'm guessing it is much higher since i have no problems calling out for what my team to do and carrying in lanes. Anyway I do think good players cripple themselves by playing roles like support or jungle and not being able to carry. I also think bad players cripple the team by saying they "only play mid" cuz they are so good and they also cripple the team. Its a slippery slope.
