Scron2 it's not your place to say I shouldn't be posting my complaints and suggestions in the suggestions forum.
Scron2 you are wrong. Most league players are keenly aware of their stats, not necessarily their ELO but definitely their kill:death ratio and farming. They constantly cite it in shallow judgement of other players. There are alot of stats whores out there who farm and mismanage the gold from it.
The solution so far that I have heard everywhere is to outfarm the greedy noobs that mismanage the gold; therefore I need to be a greedy player and but my allies throats in order to ensure the gold goes toward the right thing. Sadly this sort of thing tends to promote greedy habits, but this is not the main point I'm trying to clarify.
In the last 3 or 4 league balanced random team games I've lost due to the false balancing of players with an ELO of 1500 and no games in.
The point of my post is to suggest:
Each game a player does not not leave or AFK should get 0.5 points added to their ELO for each game completed; to prevent the veteran players (having 100 games) being confused with the noobs who don't understand basic strategies like saving CPs and buying big tanks instead of 20k in weapons.
There is a world of difference between a league balanced random team and tournament game.
