Just like the article says most, if not all, multiplayer games with a ranking system use a slightly modified Elo system. Modified to take into account that it isn't 1 v 1. You can't say that Riot dropped the ball on this they went with a time proven method rather than experimenting with something else.

KDA is never a good way to determine Elo. Depending on VS dynamics, and strategy/tactics that are occurring, you may best help your team by split pushing minions and go 0-0-0, or even 0-4-0 but if you are splitting their team up because they have to keep chasing you then you are contributing to team fights if your team can take advantage of it. You may also fail to get that last hit on the tower, so how does adding towers help?

The only reason for people to QQ over Elo are people with superiority complexes that feel that their team is letting them down. Happens at every Elo/rank, etc. In fact, I don't care what ranking system you choose, it's going to happen. That is because you are playing with Humans and they fuck up. Deal with it.
