User blog comment:Leyrann/Placement Matches - The toxic that creates the Elo Hell feeling/@comment-76.84.51.37-20121128233125

There is actually a hidden "Elo skill" thing that every player gets. If he goes above it he gains less elo, if he's below it he gains more elo on wins. It's complete bullshit, as you are supposed to get better as you play the game, so why is this hidden system in place to guess at where you are supposed to be?
