Some of those lower level accounts (at least in the games I've played) have been EU smurfs. I;d tell you not to jump to conclusions but if you don't want to play an in house "for fear of a free loss/waste of time", that's your own deal.
I would encourage you to actually join in and try to have some fun. Most of the time the games are enjoyable, once someone remembers that putting 4 2k ranked people on one team and giving them an unranked player, then shoving everyone else on to the other side isn't what a majority of intelligent people consider "balanced" of course.

I'm just letting you know where you stand. Wrath said the inhouses went to **** after he stopped hosting them, at first I thought he was just being arrogant, but he's dead on. The inhouses have been absolutely terrible since he has stopped hosting them. And considering we all know who picked up where he left off, it was pretty easy to come to a conclusion...
Yep, let's just blame everything on me. Please don't even bother to look at how your own behavior could have impacted the inhouse in any way and possibly even made it unfun for some, we know you're a paragon of the mobafire community, having never been banned and never done anything questionable at all in your time here. :3
No, what improves people's abilities in sports is practice. You don't automatically gain a "level" for competing with a stronger opponent.
Additionally most teams have "tune up" games where they play teams that are comparatively worse in every regard. That is to improve their morale and make them feel accomplished so that they have a better attitude.
If you stacked a "poor" quality team (in sports) against #1 ranked in the nation (whatever nation you want) the most they will learn is they're still a bad team. BUT if you place them against a team of equal skill level where there is actual competition, they can actually play at their level, get comfortable, and learn on a scale that doesn't **** them over 100% if they make a mistake.
LoL works in the same way, you play people WITHIN your skill range and see what they do and learn from that. If all that happens is the poor player walks into lane and gets obliterated repeatedly (example being Cuddowls VS Peach last night) by a player of superior experience and skill then all that is accomplished is knowing you're worse than they are.
I'm not saying people can't learn things from opponents who out skill them heavily, but it's not the same as figuring it out for yourself.

Well, it's at this point where you have to question the purpose of these inhouses.
Is it to improve the people that join them and have a fun game?
Is it to test concepts against skilled opponents?
Or is it a game, sometimes streamed or cast just for fun?
Essentially, someone is going to lose out in any of these cases, but you need to look at what you want to get out of these in house games in order to create a better environment for that result.

Tri lane for life.
A better view of the end game stats for game 2... The balance was bad and a lot of the champ choices were less than ideal. So from that some people did learn something from it.
I did everything I could to support my team but it just wasn't enough. With that I know their was room for improvement. I could have camped bot more to try and give them a fighting advantage and I could have helped top a bit more as well. Ahri on the other hand is just stupid hard to gank when your lane has no CC lol. As always any advice is appreciated.

If you felt I contributed or am just cool, drop me some rep +1 rep?
This and anything I say are my opinions (in no way facts), that are continually evolving as time goes on,
as I am far from an expert and always striving to learn more.

but bro, you're a vet bro. A VET. You got this **** on lockdown right? right? A VET! And yes I've been banned and maybe some people consider my behavior rude. But I speak my mind and if you're offended suck it up. The inhouses have sucked and you've been hosting them, as the VET and leader of them you're naturally going to assume blame. And the problem has been balance which you, for the most part, have been in charge of. I mean who else could I possibly blame?
I wanted to make sure I emphasize VET enough because I know how big a deal it is round here
Thanks for the Signature MissMaw!
As for the "you get better playing players better then you" argument, it is all up to the player. When I was 1300 ELO and played with my 2k ELO friends, whenever I got beat/smashed in lane it motivated me to say Damn. I want to get better. I want to smash that guy one day. So that is exactly what I did, but there are plenty of people who will get smashed and say, l0l you need life w.e man i have girlfriend smd.
It can help, but only if the person who gets smashed wants to help themselves and has the drive to get better.
