Explain clearly what determines someone being assigned a rank. Your experience shows you carry and rek face in different situations—higher ranks, solo play, and with certain opponents. You mention feeling disadvantaged against cheaters or smurfs, especially when playing solo or with lower opponents. It seems the number of matches played outside your comfort zone is unusually high, which might affect your standing. Are you wondering if external factors like unfair play are influencing your progress toward a fair fight?
Winning determines your standing—it doesn't matter individual performance since it's a group effort. Your team either succeeds or fails. The scoreboard position holds no weight; unite with teammates and train together for consistent play. Cheaters will face consequences when caught. If you're criticizing smurfs, just remember you're talking about them.
When I play in silver, I rely solely on a scout (yes, still a smurfing jerk).
Two factors affect Elo rating: 1. Winning or losing in a round, and 2. Being the top player.
