All good points though I think you'd agree with me in that I trust data over someone's anecdotes. Most people, myself included, aren't able to look at their observations over a period of time, instead picking and choosing the experiences that best suit their particular point of view. It's no different when a statistician uses a non-random sample set.
To those that argue that MM does take in to effect factors other than what they have stated, I'd simply ask - how do they think specifically think this is implemented and how is it different from one person to another?
I have over 5k games of data logged.
I had one outlier batch of 500 where Red WR > Green WR including me.
Other than that 1 sample (or 1/10th) my Green Team WR > Red WR.
In each sample Red WR > Green WR when I removed my own (and platoon partner if applicable)- however not by more than .2%
That lead me to believe that MM is about as random as it comes at 500+ games, and also each individual players contributions matter a great deal more than some think.
