What the Hell is ELO

Thought ranked was supposed to be ranked. Every game I’m in we have one dude who is dragging ass and another who is ahead by thousands in the score. They need to rework how players are ranked, not just win/loss. Why on earth do players start with 1000 ELO? In 2025 you have to have years of experience to have 1K ELO. It was terrible being in the 1K range with a mix of complete beginners and fallen mega sweats eager to take their rage out on everyone. Now that I’ve dropped far below 1K ELO, I still encounter the same bullshit. One teammate has 10 villagers total while an enemy is tower rushing me before castle dropping. They really need to find a way to more accurately rate player skill so that we can get better matchmaking. Thoughts?
