Talk:Elo rating system/@comment-144.230.63.57-20120223153805

Just wanted to say - I've played about 50 ranked games so far, and more to come I'm sure. I had some initial bad games, partly because my team played poorly but also because I didn't play as well as I could have (also I picked the wrong heroes). I ended up 20/20. Decided it was time to win, picked strong heroes like amumu, alistar, and kennen, and now I've won 11 in a row and am 31/20 with an ELO of 1370. I expect to keep rising, and though I don't expect to win every game I play, I do know that what I do has a huge impact on the game. As long as someone isn't being blown out, my play directly impacts how well we do. Saying you can't get out of the 1100 elo rating because your team is bad is silly. Yes, you have bad teams sometimes. Sometimes the other team has the bad game though. It is without a doubt the case that you will be near where you should be after playing enough games.
