Talk:Elo rating system/@comment-62.143.66.252-20121024170923

is it just me or is the elo system horribly flawed? i mean the elo system was a system designed for chess. a 1v1 game. how do you even want to use it for a 5v5/3v3 game? thats completely stupid. i am sure a lot of people have bad elo only because they get matched with people who are actually bad and get worse elo and so on and so on. i mean, how is that fair? i can see how the elo system might work for team ranked (though id say that a normal rankladder would work way better there) but for solo? there it just seems like something that is bad and should be either remade (though i have no idea at all how you could make a working system) or just removed. i mean i know quite a few 1200 elo players who play really good, but are stuck there due to the stupid system.
