every one has a different " elo hell " and it seems to come about to the point in their elo where they plateau so they cant gain elo and are kinda stuck and it seems like elo hell. higher elos say it can be plat 5 some think its lower diamond so its all relative. its a mind set you put yourself into thinking that no matter what you do you cant win and you have "top/mid/jungle feed when i usually win my lane " its a mindset. it would seem to be people who feel they are in elo hell are tilted. but in general maybe there needs to be work on the fundamentals of the game. cs, lane control, trading, abusing cds , vision, map control, objectives, rotations, ect. work on champ pool . match ups, team comps. ect. there are lots of things you can do to improve your game. and with in that if you truly deserve to be higher you will climb. best of luck

Don't play ADC/Support, from what I've been told they're pretty much the hardest roles to carry from this season.

Ask yourself

"What does ranking up in a game do for my life?"

Now I play SMITE for fun.

I find you really need to dedicate yourself to playing League. I would say find 1 or 2 people that you know you can count on and play with them. It always helps to not solo queue. But if you are stuck solo queueing you must play a champion you KNOW you can carry with. Like when I played ranked I would play either Volibear or Hecarim in the jungle, doing pretty big damage while still being super tanky. I think from your description, you main either ADC or support? In that case IMO I would play someone who can carry really hard like Vayne, Caitlyn, Thresh and Soraka. But of course you should know how to play these champions otherwise you'll be letting your team down. So in that case I'd say practice these champions in normals and work your way up. Good luck!

I play Vladimir in the midlane (no bad matchups if you know what you're doing and he deals TONS of AOE damage late game while being reasonably tanky), he can also Gank bot lane with Ghost).

Then I call as secondary Rammus for very strong early game Ganks, extreme mobility, and very strong late game tanking.

I'd say Mid and JG are easiest to carry with because they tend to start/take part in key team fights. ADC is a bit too passive in the lane in my opinion and it depends too much on your partner and their duo lane. Its much easier to consistently win the lane 1 vs 1 or without a lane.

Also. Keep Ping-ing your team. Most of the time, this is the best way to get them to play the game your way and you'll be surprised at how well most of your team mates respond. My win rate drops MASSIVELY and then I notice that I have not been Ping-ing for a while.

Pings are ESPECIALLY important for ordering a retreat and preventing the enemy from striking back and Acing you because people aren't paying attention to respawn timers. Part of the reason games last so long and the team that has a lead doesn't always win is because of the needless throws on both sides due to these over-stays. ONE SINGLE PING to prevent a single over-stay could win the whole game because it lets you maintain that kill lead.

Pings win wars. Imagine you are a Red Alert 2 commander. You're just traveling in the battlefield in a tank (your champion) and that's your command post.

It should always be

Towers > Kills > Dragons

Once one side takes a few towers down and keeps the minion waves in your favour while grouping as necessary, its very hard for the other team to come back. Its much easier to come back if you're behind on dragons. I'd rather have several towers down then a dragon.

Also, stay the hell away from Elder Dragon. Its a noob trap (you don't need it if you're ahead... it risks a throw... if you're behind, its not worth the risk). I've noticed that more often than not the team that tries to take Elder first (ahead or not), loses.

...

The other thing I notice is that without pings, people often have bad combat formations late game where they have something like a 3:1:1 (2 way single split). This is prone to throws because you will have portions of your army run into larger bits of the enemy's.

Late game, except for situational and temporary splits to clear waves and make picks... it should ALWAYS be either 5 or 4:1 (with the 1 split pusher). I'd recommend sticking to 5 because the 4:1 plays require A LOT of communication, military discipline, and strategic awareness.
