This stupid rating system just pisses me off.

[quote=Riggsinator]Game 1: We lose... We lose horribly. Got people that clearly just got level 30 and went straight to ranked. They duo queued too and went a combined 2-16-7 The other team had someone with 900 ranked wins, and 900 losses. -14 rating Game 2: We win... The other team had someone that was 250 higher rating than anyone else on the winning team. +6 rating So what this system is saying is that: If you play people above your level and win, you get very little reward. If you play people above your rating and lose. You get a raised penalty. Nevermind that matchmaking is just horrendous. The stupid rating system is just as horrendous if not worse. There's no logical Level vs Reward at all.[/quote]

[quote=caucheka]thats a big reason people get stuck in elo hell, that its so much harder to raise it because you need about 2 wins to make up for a lose.[/quote]

[quote=Atarios][quote=caucheka] you need about 2 wins to make up for a lose. [/quote] That pisses me off.[/quote]

[quote=Adonikam]No you have it wrong, you're basing your experience off 2 games? ok that's dumb but on the matter of Elo. When your team has a higher combined Elo then the other team then you gain less experience for a win and you lose more for a loss. and vice versa. HOWEVER the amount is only +-2 it's only when you have a massive Elo advantage over the enemy that you lose/gain -+5/6/7 Elo. For Example, I am 1448 and I was matched against a 1700 player, Riot gave them (they won) +6 elo and we only lost 5 because the matchmaking was UNFAIR. My last point is that it's Elo not ELO.[/quote]

[quote=fifolek]well i dont know... the EU system is cool got 1486 atm and I'm fine with 10/3 W/L on US I had 47/39 W/L and had an ELO (yeah I capitalize all letters, for the fun of it) of 1217, that was so uncool dropped down to 56/59 and am at 1050~ so thats why I unsinstalled the US thingy, gogo EU![/quote]

[quote=Crazy Smurf]It's kinda easier to get good Elo results on EU, dunno why, really.[/quote]

[quote=Canoas]I was stuck in elo hell until recently. I had over 50 games and all of them were decided by a leaver/feeder. Then I started playing Amumu.. Played 7 games with him, 100% victory. Amumu wins games.[/quote]

[quote=Canoas][quote=B-Wong] Good champ for metagame ya? [/quote] More like no one bothers to counter-jungle. Amumu isn't really related to the current meta-game. His aoe stuns completely neutralizes the enemy team's positioning so you chances to win a team fight drastically increase. People don't bother to take cleanse either. I've played against 2 Janna's already and neither of them took cleanse or got QSS. He can easily be countered but he never is.[/quote]
