    Nice. I had time for a game today and was in a lane with a Bloodseeker who decided he wants to go for the kill 1v2 and was pinging me cause I was not there to help him, because I was pulling. He proceeded to flame me for the rest of the game. It felt... typical to what you're saying at number 5.

      Yea, I mean I think I'm pretty shit at the game, but it's something a lot of people fail to understand. There are so many different factors and strategies that contribute to winning. For an extreme example, consider someone who always makes the passive play vs someone who always makes the aggressive play. These people function on completely different wavelengths, yet both can win the same number of games if they play to their styles correctly. Each would see the other players moves as bad. The aggressive player is the one saying "We should've fought, if you helped we would kill them", the passive player would say "We couldn't fight that, why did you run in". And in different cases both of these would be right. Same thing applies for like splitting vs 5-man, farming vs fighting, laning vs late-game, mechanical skill vs strategy. There are all these different aspects that contribute to your overall winrate/mmr, and it's really hard to gauge a person's skill level over the course of a single game since there are so many factor, and that person may be unable to even showcase their strengths in that game, or maybe everything just lined up perfectly and they destroyed but that doesn't necessarily mean they don't deserve to be placed in their bracket.
