ELO System % Correction Factor proliferates selfish players

Well, when you get to a certain level you need to get most of the farm in order to ensure a win.

No. This is only true if your allies won't make the right choice with the money.

Let's say you are in a Tournament and your allies are all pro Shamen.

If you have a Titan and your ally has a Demon tank and needs more money to get a top teir tank like a Titan, is the 25k best spent on a supercell for the Titan, or is the team better off with another Titan?

I think the answer should be obvious...two Titans are far better than one Titan with an extra supercell.

A well-rounded team IS better than a team with only 1 carry hero. If the carry hero is hunted and killed, the rest of the team falls apart.

I do see your point, if you are with a bunch of douche bags and the only person you can trust is yourself, then I guess you're better off farming the shit outta creeps and all buildings still standing so you carry the team to victory. And why wouldn't you if it results in a great rating? If you did this in a clan game you would be a unpopular if you did this to your clanmates. (Unless they consent to this, and I'm not saying you do this. This is just hypothetical.)

The problem with this mentality is that when you farm your allies into the poor house it's hard not to misjudge their skill or potential.

I know people who do this, and only say they have much to learn with regards to teamwork.
