Imgur: The most awesome images on the Internet

So i'm in gold and decided to try climbing out of bronze on another account. This image was from games all in one day. I now truly understand "elo hell".

as a "silver" player. bronze is easy enough to climb out of.. ( i have done it 4 times) SILVER is what is a pain to climb out of

because in bronze u get 4 teammates who feed and 5 opponents who feed

so your always fed too

but in silver there is like only 1-2 players on each team who are bronze

and if those are up against a silver.. and they feed. not only will their silver usually not throw the lead.. you will be up against a silver as well, therefore u cannot match his lead and beat him. this makes it MUCH more of a pain to climb because the games are determined solely based on who got the actual "non-silver" player.

Ban yasuo. Not because you will play against him. Ban him because he's playing along side you taking you down with him.

It still astounds me how people can unironically use the phrase 'elo hell'.

As long as you don't int on Yasuo yourself, the chance is bigger that the enemy team will get a feeding Yasuo.

You forgot to include your autistic Master Yi Jungler's stat line, who may have gone 2-8, but hey he had a SICK double kill that he stole from the ADC.

The reason elo hell exists is because macro play is pretty weak all the way up until ~D3. It's very hard to consistently carry out on mechanics alone.

That's why pros have such an easy time getting to D4-D3, because if you introduce a little order and smart team play, it goes a long way in establishing an order that the other players can sync up to.

You add a little good macro to your gameplay and climbing becomes significantly easier.
