If you think it doesn't exist please just check my match history. its literally impossible to rank up unless you get lucky, the games you win you get a good team and the game you lose are normally out of your control. By no means am I a pro and some games I do just play like s*** but this is just unbeliveable

Sounds like you're right where you belong. If you're better than your division, you'll rank up after enough games. Be patient. The system isn't set up for a fast climb. It's not even made for people to climb. It's made to try and put you in a division with people of equal skill as you.

The fact that elo boosters exist for all the way up to masters, is proof enough that elo hell doesn't exist, If it DID it exist it would be more defined as the area where you are visually better than the players around you but not quite good enough to carry consistently to win the majority of your games. NOT Just bronze. It would vary on a per player basis.

First off I'd like to ask what rank you are. Secondly, I do understand that one person can lose the game for everyone, very stupid mistakes still happen in high Gold. But I recall when I first started playing League a bit over a year ago. I wasn't a good player. I deserved Bronze when I started doing ranked, and so I got put in B4. Eventually, I got much better at League, and was able to climb to Silver and from Silver to Gold. I think the problem is you might (I've never seen you play, but this is talking about people in general.) have decent mechaniks to at least hit Silver but you don't understand the game and how it works well enough to carry. I remember when I was low elo I understood that if you get lets say 2 kills or 3 kills ahead of someone or the whole enemy team in general, YOU HAVE TO USE THAT. If you don't use that advantage then what was the point in getting it? However all of this being said I do agree that AFK's and feeders or a team who just refuses to work together whether ahead or not does affect the game.

You're right where you belong. Get over it. If you can't win games that's because you're doing something wrong.
