Is Elo Hell Real

H0riz0n234·Feb 22, 2015·1 votes·754 views

I personally believe in it because in bronze 4 and since some people will say I belong there I will say im one the people who have more experience then most people in my rank. I main jungler and focus on team comp during slection(are they tanky, squishy, do we need cc, or how do we counter this champ) then I focus on ganks and counter jungling(does my team need more ganks or should I shut down the jungler?) I usually build my items around these decisions with the different variations of smite. then after laning phase Is pretty much is focus adc and other champs who do damage(watch for baits,ward, and know if you can win the battle). So my question is, Elo Hell Real????

Theres more to the game then this but I tried to summarize it :p

It's not, although I would agree that it could suck a lot getting out of very, very low elo (bronze 3-5), but it is definitely doable, sense everyone there is there for a reason.

In my opinion, your going to need a solo queue attitude to win, which for me is that if you leave everyone on your team to their own devices that they will lose lane or play poorly. Pretty much, for me, if I'm not carrying or having a huge impact on the game, I'm just loosing the game for us. I main Jungle and its probably the easiest role to carry as, in my extremely biased opinion, sense you can impact the game the greatest.

I won't go in specifics, but thats my 2 cents. If your meant to get out, play a bunch and you will.

Elo Hell is real. Elo Hell is whatever rank you are stuck at. So for some people it's bronze, for others it's silver, ect...

From what little I can see of your matches, try to focus on farming a bit more. Your cs looks a bit low for your game length. It looks like your team focus champs win for you. While the solo Q heroes don't seem to be cutting it. The last thing I would try working on, is warding a bit more. I've found that if I place wards in solo que and then say things like "let's grab dragon" people are far more likely to follow.

Yeah cs's isnt one of my strengths and I try to ward sometimes but sometimes it just doesn't work out with bronze of course.

Thing is that was in 2012 and statistics have changed and the reason pros dont say theres no such thing is simple They Are Pros. I believe these people have a gift to start with and go on from there so is much easier to climb up the ladder. For slow learners (like me) it takes a while to get skilled enough to climb. But to rank up in Elo hell you need a much higher skill level to get out like actually playing like silver 1 to get out of bronze. And yes I look at my faults because I do make them while I make less mistakes then most bronze 4 players. I have played enough to know the statistic. While I get very little trolls and afk's unskilled players are in around 70% of my games.At first I was ranked wrong I admit(was placed in bronze 1 for placements) and as I descended the ladder I got frustrated even though I deserved it. Since I was B4 last season I was placed in B4 again after winning 8 out of 10 placement games(Helps unskilled players be where they belong and skilled players stuck in bronze forgotten). I notice too many mistakes made by team members thats could be avoided easily and with pick order you I cant carry every single game. While I see the point in focusing on ones self it cant help much since it is MOBA game meant for teamwork. If your team doesn't understand strategy and feeds then a lose is almost guaranteed. While feeding doesn't seem like much it means not being able to kill your target alone. So while this video is for some people who think they are crazy good I believe im better then bronze 4 but not like silver 1. P.S video is outdated maybe find a new one ;)

Elo hell exists but not what people think

THE REAL ELO HELL

based on the new system of bronze and silver ect. and not one ladder, goes like so

back in season two I just hit level thirty finished my series matches and got a top elo of 1035 I DROPPED REALLY LOW to 600ish elo but before the end of the season I got back to 975 with 1035 top elo

NOW when riot announced the new system they said youd be placed according to current and highest elo (meaning I shouldve been placed in 975-1035 elo range on the new scale) the problem here is
when the new system came out I was put in bronze five, THAT MEANS THAT EVERY ELO FROM 975-1035 or below (Including 0elo because that was a thing the lowest you could go) where ALL PLACED in bronze 5 and anything higher got bronze 4 and above

MEANING the only true elo hell is if you are bronze five and HAVE LOST roughly 3games at 0lp the rest is just your own personal skill BECAUSE of the whole (if youre not the troll your team has only a 4/5 not 5/5 chance of having a troll)

trolls are everywhere and once you get stuck thats where you belong, if youre hovering between bronze 4 and 3 you belong there

NOW ON THAT NOTE if you go on a losing streak and you dont feed troll ect. then you just have really shitty luck

I have shitty luck then :(

real elo hell is high gold/low plat.

You think bronze is bad because of baddies? You think its bad because of feeders?

You haven't seen nothing yet.

Try "gg nub jg ks cannon minion, can't carry this trash elo afk ff 20".

Try "gg ff 20" because someone dies FB.

Try "2:05 (Rengar): You piece of ------ jungle gank this lane --- I can't carry you scrubs without getting ganks". Yeah, 2:05, when I'm still at red.

Try "Nub support bought potions instead of ward might as well just afk in base" (on an all in aggressive support)

Try "Oh, you got deathcap on support? Fk it then I'm getting Mikhaels on Jax cuz you aren't a real support"

Now again, you think bronze is bad? I got trolled 5 times in plat promos by these nerds, you still think bronze is bad? I haven't seen stuff that bad anywhere I've been, and I've played in silver 5 0 LP.

Is diamond clean from these people or no, im just curious?

BluePolarizerFeb 22, 20151 votes

Ask Yenn, who gets games of all 3 lanes losing 0-5 or worse in 20 minutes, in diamond. But at least they're merely bad instead of trolls, ragers or AFKs.

I seriously stopped caring about feeding at this point. I've carried teams of all feeders before. Its the ragers and trolls that piss me off.

Interesting.
