The existence of ELO Hell

CKwoka26947··2 votes·718 views

I've played with a bona-fide diamond player smurfing in bronze (me i am gold 5 on main). We lost 6 games in a row in bronze 3. In every game we both did good he had 2x champ damage of other players and usually had at least 18 kills. One game he had 28 kills and we still lost. In every instance, our remaining 3 teammates could not figure out how to even safe farm let alone take objectives while we were annihilating the enemy team. Eventually they caught up to us and we lost the teamfight. ELO Hell is real.

so first of all, you seem like a butthurt bronze scrub that is trying to prove his point by making things up. by looking at your account on op.gg i just saw even more indication of that, with your KDA beeing fairly decent but your builds are questionable and your cs is consistently wayy too low to seriously be a smurf.

second, you dont really believe SIX GAMES are enough to prove anything do you? if so, your moronic enough to probably belong in bronze anyway.

and third, if you cant fkn carry when you and your premade are fed, you dont deserve to rank up aswell. especially with your KDAs if you cant carry your game sense is garbage and you dont know what to do. having mechanics but no gamesense doesnt make you better than other people in your elo.

Only consistent duo of yours that I see in your match history is a support main (found a mid main too, still no loss streak/28 kills). Also, if you want to get out of Bronze, maybe stop playing Riven. You have a 43% win rate over 128 games.

no offense but some of your scores are less-than-stellar for a smurf in bronze. like your 1-6-4 jinx game, your 2-9-2 game with riven, and your 0-10 lulu game

i also havent seen a game where you got more than 18 kills

I am smerf, too. Fighting to stay in Master on main. Never updates quick enough for me to tell. I stuck in bronze.

  1. You DO NOT WIN games by having the most kills or dmg. Only objectives matter.

  2. Learn what kill distribution means. Do not take all the kills, you are starving your team when you do.

  3. "elo hell" doesn't exist.

Also if you are legit smurfing then thank your teams for carrying your games on the mains. You may have a couple games losing streak as a result of bad luck, but elo hell is only one of two things: either you rage too much or are rude/negative and your teammates care less than average about winning bc they don't want you to win, or you are able to win lane and get kills but don't know how to control objectives And play to win conditions bc you are too busy worrying about kda and damage to worry about winning.

Just streaks my friend. Games can be over in champ select, e.g. the 2 adc team with a teemo. Maybe you got lucky, but these losing streaks are quite real and can get you demoted a tier easily.

As someone who's got accs in plat, gold and trying to get this one out of bronze, let me tell you that you're not wrong.

I don't know if your story is actually true, but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen. Here's the thread I made on it: http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/gameplay-balance/ZLTwoyjI-option-to-reset-ranked-rating

You're not going to get nice replies here though. People like to put their fingers in their ears and yell "ELO HELL DOESN'T EXIST".
