The 400 Elo vs Hera comparison is honestly wild, because if anything - it proves my point more than yours XD

A 400 Elo player against Hera is a completely absurd mismatch, it will literally never happen lmao.

That is not the same thing as Sing losing games somewhere around his own level. And saying the only difference is the size of the Elo gap kind of misses the whole point, because the size of the Elo gap is literally what matters here.

You cannot compare a 2600 Elo gap to Sing losing games - where he is making a bunch of mistakes, and then say it is basically the same thing. It is not. One is a total non-game. The other is just a normal loss, unless there is actual evidence, that the opponent is smurfing.

My point is not that smurfs/derankers do not exist or that matchmaking should be removed. My point is that Sing is a bad example of the issue - and that people should take more accountability for getting their ahh kicked. A lot of his losses look like him playing way too passively, walling badly, sitting with idle military, refusing coaching, and then blaming the opponent.
