Congrats . I have a three month old and it feels like he was just born yesterday . Just wait till yours starts smiling , all the late nights will be worth it . <| sep |> Start Jeremy Hill . The bengals sustained a lot of injuries last week and I think the Bengals offense is going to run through Hill . <| sep |> probably not an NPC , the cracker was probably malicious <| sep |> I have a couple issues with your post that I find misleading 1 . The neverending Elo hell bullshit story and the Dunning Kruger effect Now let ' s talk about ELO hell . It ' s real folks . Elo hell does not exist and has been disproven to exist on so many occasions . Elo hell would mean that if you put a player who has a consistently high SR at a lower SR into Elo hell then that player might not climb up again or would be at least stuck for a long time in that Elo hell . Which is bullshit and many players have proven so . It can also be logically disproven . The supposed reason why Elo hell would exist is that people at a given rating are holding you back from getting your true SR . It is very easy to debunk that statement If you are actually constistently more skilled than your teammates then are are also consistently more skilled than any of your 6 opponents thus improving the chance to win on your team because you only have 5 people that are below your level . Also from personal experience it is ridiculously easy to win games on a lower rating than my skill rating at any given time . You can have bad luck for a couple of games but overall you quickly climb up if you are more skilled than the people you play with . The real reason you think Elo hell exists is the Dunning Kruger effect . Read it up . 2 . Understimating mechanical skillWhat you call microscopic skill is called mechanical skill or just mechanics and has been for a very long time . around the 1800 ~ 2000 level are people who can aimThere are no people at that level who can aim . It is really important to understand that to get a grasp at how important mechanical skill is . Also your aimbotter example a few lines above that statement is completely wrong . An aimbotter who plays McCree is never ever going to be at that rating if he has only the most basic positioning . Mechanics is like 90 % of the deal in soloq especially at lower levels . People are miles away from having just the basic mechanics to play most of the dps heroes . I for example have absolute shit accuracy on my dps heroes and I play at diamond . It is only at the high levels where people start to play dps heroes viably and currently even there the importance of dps heroes has declined more and more over the last months .
