I'm well aware of how math works. that's not the problem.
I'm asking jpak how he figures that I'm unaware of my own faults and flaws?
Also, I dont think i'm 1700 good. I think I'm roughly 1400-1500, though.
It's not as if everyone who is frustrated about something else is unaware of their own problems. Where did that idea come from? Yes, I'm irritated at how bad kids are at my Elo, and I'm frustrated at how hard it is to climb out.
I played 9 ranked games today, and i went 4-5. I spent a whole day doing nothing but playing league and i lost Elo. And I was never once the worst player, and I was almost always the best player. I made dozens of small mistakes, whether it was missing a cs or moving to the wrong place on the map. A very good player would make fewer of those mistakes. But they would most likely have lost the same games I lost, with few exceptions. Sure, they'll climb out faster than I would, because over a long enough time they would be the difference maker in a way that I couldn't be.
but none of this negates my point: bad kids ruin games for you no matter what you do sometimes. And if you get a handful of bad games right from the start when your rating is flying all over the place, you can get mired down in the muck and it can take forever to climb out. I lost like 70 elo today. Playing well.
I could watch my own games and point out each cs that I miss, or whatever, and I do think critically about every play I make all game. I'm not blind to that. You guys are just assuming I am because I am complaining.
think of it this way too: if I'm better than 1100 Elo, then some other poor dude is also trying to climb out and I'm stronger than my score says and he gets mismatched teams because riot thinks i'm as bad as the next 1100 player. So this other kid loses a game and i win one, because he had some 0-6 player rated 1100 on his team, and my team had me going 5-0 in lane. Sucks for him.
i'm not the only "good" player (relative to the score) at 1100. I felt this same way at 1300 last season. I routinely outplayed my whole team. If I was magically transplanted into 1500, I wouldn't plummet immediately to 1100. I would hover around there, and probably improve because I'm playing with better players in my average solo queue games.
edit: someone get on their smurf and duo queue with me. Be critical, tell me when I make a tactical error. Be honest and assess me.
