So, I was using the Player Finder to look for people around my elo. Just for ranked games purposes in the near future if I had open time. It's also not bad meeting new MOBAFire people around my elo. Looking at it, it's like, whoa wtf. These numbers, really? I understand jokes that people place like, 9000 or 9001 referencing "It's OVER 9000!", but when you just spam random numbers in there just to make your name show up, i don't know. Just seems... immature.

Moving on, when I got to people around my elo, I looked up summoner profiles in game. Those that provided servers, I looked up. Disappointingly, I found a lot of people that just lied about their elo. I know there are people that aren't lieing like Gravefury, but seriously, why need to lie about your elo? >_>. It's not like people are going to be like, OH HEY ITS THAT GUY, HES LOW ELO HAHAHAHAHAHAH. No lol. IMO, it makes you look a little less mature.

For example, there's a user named Corrupt Warlord. He says he's 1766 and on US. I tell myself, "Perhaps he'd like to play w/ me in ranked sometime. He's also listed that he's on US! Let's look him up!" Bam, I look him up, unranked in everything ._..

I don't know, am I being too harsh? Or is the Player Finder just a joke at this current time? I unno, I'm not asking for a ELO Check on every account, but a fix when people post their elo like 12938293812981.

Again, I'm not trying to be THAT GUY that's all about elo. Just when looking at this feature on this site that people may really want to use, it's kinda a joke. >_>

I guess people are just embarrassed or shy about their ELO.. it's not like they HAVE to be honest about it.. I personally choose to not show my ELO to avoid/dodge potential "stfu your low ELO" rampage.

PS: your sig is getting kinda blurry :P

I've brought this up myself, I totally agree with you, there needs to be a freakin' cap on Elo. Also idc about peoples Elo but I still think we need this system to be serious or it's just gonna make Mobafire look like a freakin' joke.

There's some kind of system on clgaming.net that automatically tracks and updates elo... That would be great for this website.

Thanks to Xiaowiriamu for the sig!

It would be pro if they could find a way to automatically link your account to your LoL account to prove your real ELO.
