User blog comment:Leyrann/Elo rating doesn't work & Elo Hell exists/@comment-109.121.44.27-20121112000554

I have even better proof.

Around a month ago I had 990 ELO, my stats were 37 wins and 47 defeats. A guy that had 1400 ELO had the very same stat 37 wins and 47 defeats.

How is that even possible, 2 different players, 2 different ELO ratings and perfectly matching score.

In most cases I beg for decent players instead of decent ELO, so I eventually stopped playing Ranked since 50% of those 47 defeats were actually surrenders due to 1 member of my team being AFK, ragequitting, intentionally feeding etc.

Normal games are actually ranked games, the main difference is that you can't see your ELO on normals. Everything else is the same, same people, same game.
