You can say anything you want when you are wearing one bloody glove.

If these are the type of players you play then write of a high ELO as well as having a win % over 600.

Actually, a quick scan of the top 20 players in ELO reveals that all fit your parameters of having a .600 win % or better (YOU INCLUDED!).

Gauging the skills of individual players through who their opponents are in the database does offer you another pretty good stick to measure by as well.

For instance, if you look at all my opponents, you will notice a trend of Total Victories that can most likely be attributed to players who started a game and didn't finish, thereby forfeiting for the total. Therefore, you may glean from this that my stats are overstuffed and I am actually not that good, and you would be dead on the money.

Like all ladder variations, ELO can be stuffed, just like any of them.

Cheers!
