ELO Hell

Did you know that if you combine silver and bronze, they make up over 60% of the player base found in league? If that is no surprise to you, welcome to why playing ranked sucks!! Now, I understand that many of you may be asking why I say something a little far fetched and here's the reason. A lot of bronze and silver speak up about the common problems they encounter. And even though they may not be too skilled of that position, they still speak of problems that will end up being brought up in higher elo such as diamond. Even gold players seem to speak out about the atrocities they've faced, but apparently if you're not plat or higher, Riot would still rather ignore that 21 percent. You know, the part that makes Ranked awful is that they kept up the same qualities that make it toxic. Not once did they consider anything USEFUL that could possibly help out the climb. Instead, they make sure how you play is similar to those standards that were once placed within the past. Sadly, these same standards have changed drastically. To put that kind of thing in perspective, you can't even win a game of you vs 5 bots on intermediate unless you solo focus ending the game as fast as possible mid lane. Due to how the game has shifted, so should their standards. Unfortunately, that could happen too late. I only wish they cared enough.

It's because the distribution of the players in the ranks is being done so poorly and Riot thinks that it is more fun to cause more pain to their playerbase. At least DOTA got their act in order and fixed their problem. When will Riot do the same?

Elo hell exists for players that could have positive winrates and climb, but instead troll games and force winnable games to be losses because their ff 15 vote failed.
