Elo hell exists; here is why

JohnWycliffe··2 votes·618 views

The more you lose; the dumber the players at your lowered elo get. You become more more not used to their dumb play, so you lose more games, leading to even less intelligent teammates. Moreover, as they end up becoming more and more dumb, you become more and more aggravated, so you flame them more and more.

So you're saying it's a case of: "Players get matched with dumber opponents so they play dumber." Which is something that is entirely that player's fault, which defeats the idea ELO Hell.

big problem here: elo boosters. explain how they can go on your account and boost it and you cant.

... actually most of them use scripts nowadays.

scripts do not make a bronze player challenger. they just help to reduce mechanical errors... which maining a champion also does... like i often get called a scripter when i dodge things like vi and amumu ults as yi with q.

How do people get boosted out of Bronze then? Elo booster just having a lucky streak?

Well "elo hell" doesn't exist but elo boosters are not exactly a good example anymore since it's becoming more apparent that they are using scripts when boosting an account.

Elo hell is real ( every ranked system ever has it ), but not for the reasons you listed.

Hey john, looking at your stats you seem to be doing very well despite not having the greates teammates most games. You can't change how they play but one thing you might be able to improve on yourself is that despite seeming to win your lane your cs isn't that impressive, you might need to start focusing a bit more on that to get better results.

With that logic you could be president some day.

The rest will just climb.
