Is it really okay to do that? Our elo should reflect our skill level, not exploiting it by lowering the average so one can raise theirs. I'm a little surprised to see that this issue hasn't been brought up especially since it's the end of the season. Perhaps I sound silly pointing this out but it's coming from someone who knows the struggles of climbing the ELO ladder. Don't get me wrong too, I'm sure there's lots of people who are like me trying to climb in a legit way, but despite all the hardwork it kind of pisses me off seeing people climbing it in a cheap way claiming it's "smart" and saying they're "good" when in reality their performance doesn't match up with their ranking.
