Your ELO is pretty correct

Paladin 0f Life··2 votes·565 views

I dropped a whole league from s4 to b3 im now b2 with only around 13 actual ranked games after placements. I see how ppl say elo hell but really if you can put in some time... you will climb out rather fast if you actually deserve it. I climbed out of b3 in about 6 games counting a loss in the promos. If you easily stomp your lane then you should climb if you learn how to carry a lead. I struggle with the end game more than anything else but my early game is on point with my mains. If that goes bad then just do what you can, farm and DO NOT FEED or afk like so many noobs do. Now i have gotten the 5 death feeder by 10 mins the two lanes lost and jungler picking his nose. If you play right you will carry. I had a Yasuo go afk after feeding and we almost won the game we were at inhib and team thought baron would be good. But none the less I LEARNED from it and thats the point. Just grind it out if you actually want it. I wish i had more time to play but life is life and this game isnt life. Maybe over the summer some time I will actually get to gold where I know I can get. Try to learn and not just rage... thats probably why you lose. Its not your team it is you.

Yeah, eventually people learn how to climb out of bronze/silver and after the first time, climbing out again feels much easier, most likely because they actually are silver+ skill level at that point, while they really were bronze level when they were first there.

There's 5 potential relatively poor choice-makers (put politely) on the enemy team, but only 4 on your own (since you're silver+ so your choices are relatively good compared to your teams), so afks/trolls/etc make it easier to climb in low elo rather than harder, as statisically you'll win more than you lose due to those factors. I'm not saying silver+ people will be able to solo carry every game, just that the games completely thrown by opposing teams will be in greater number than the games completely thrown by your own.

if the reason you are losing is poor choices made by your team, which in anything below gold is very common then elo is not a true reflection of your skill level.

But If you could carry out of it then you would be where you belong. If not your mmr only off by around 300 which is not that bad and you will climb.

you cannot 1v5 carry without being challenger. stop thinking this is a game where if you alone play better than your entire team you can win. it is a game where you and your team mates require good decision making to succeed. one person who decides they are challenger will ruin the entire game and put the enemy team on snowball.

So explain to me how my gold 5 friend can carry silvers? Because as you climb your teamates get less worse so it is easier to carry and If you have the skill you will.

simple. the enemy team has people that think they are pro players and can do anything so they do what i pointed out in my previous post and get destroyed. they then blame their team mates for not reading their mind or predicting the future.

The basis of the elo thing is riot is basically saying after X amount of games it should even out and you should be at the right elo. For example I was gold last season but am back to silver 3(which is expected they always put u a tier lower), and now I'll play hundreds of games to get back to gold(in another post I just examined how my last 5 Leblanc ranked games I had at least 14 kills in each game and only went 2-3, because it just sometimes doesn't happen and that you can't carry every game) BUT my point is it takes many many games for the elo to even out, and people like myself who have wife/kids etc it's hard to get all those games in. My ONLY issue is if I'm silver 3, why am I going up against platinum and high gold players in my ranked games? That's what boggles my mind.... If they are going to make us silver or whatever for the beginning of the season, then actually group us with real silver players, not higher tier players that are placed in the lower tier just because.

most games i do good, i get the people like "AUTISTIC JUNGLE IM INTNET FEED NOW" This is what prevents me from leaving

Feeding an unskilled player doesnt change the game and admit a loss. They do dumb shit all the time I see it when they dive a naut under tower with full health and think they Bjerg.

Sorry but I hate all these posts. This is a team game, and people can ruin the match even if you played near perfect and did everything correctly.

I went from B2 to B3 on a huge losing streak, then got on a huge win streak and went back to B2. I've been carrying my last couple of games super hard and stuff, but due to bad teams, my KDA also takes a hit cause of these feeders who pick the worst champions possible, and have no idea how to ward and pay attention to pings.

It's frustrating cause you can't tell them anything cause then they will get upset, threaten to report you, and most likely, their in a party anyways and will all agree with one another.

C9 Balls was in Platinum last year. He's an lcs player and stomps people and carries hard sometimes for C9..... Rank truly does not tell you the skill of a person, just gives you an idea of how good someone might be. I'm sure Balls would be challenger if he was able to play with his team, and now since you can 5 man party, he can now reach challenger and stuff.

Im not saying my elo right now reflects what I am capable of. But I played terrible in placements and got what I deserved. I will get back to Silver once I get some time. But the game has feeders afks etc deal with it

It's probably misleading to point to him ending plat on that account, as it's not the main account he played on, and also he ended plat due to decay and still had a diamond mmr.

edit: And in fact the fact that these pro players are able to get multiple accounts up to diamond (or higher) is probably more evidence that they aren't held back by their teams.
