User blog comment:Leyrann/Elo rating doesn't work & Elo Hell exists/@comment-1153246-20121112134532

I'm currently sitting at just under 800 ELO, and I'm still willing to say that the system works. I'm where I am partly because of poor luck and awful teammates in my seed games, but it's mostly because I wasn't ready for ranked at the time, and thus my ELO reflects that lack of preparedness. But I've also only played a total of 60 ranked games, so there's definitely space for that to improve. Don't call the system broken just because you haven't played enough games in it, it's proven that ELO normalizes to reflect your individual skill after enough games.
