PSA: Stop citing one game as proof elo hell exists

Getting really sick and tired of these people who post a game where they hard carried and lost and then claim that its impossible to climb. Its one freaking game. Take a look at this game for example. I did the most damage of ANYONE in the game as a tank Malphite (including double what my ADC did) and pretty much hard carried the game. However, my team didn't push our advantages to get additional towers and then all it took was a few poorly chosen team fights and the enemy team took our entire base.

Does this mean I'm going to quit league and make a whiny post about it? Hell no! This kind of stuff happens. Its completely normal. Even if you hard carry a game sometimes you aren't going to win. And surprise, sometimes when you play like crap you'll still wind up winning the game. So stop complaining that you lost one game. If you consistently play that well you are pretty much guaranteed to climb in rank. The problem is that most of these people usually DON'T play that good and have complete delusions of grandeur about there ability level. You should always judge yourself much harder than you judge any of your teammates.

If anything these types of losses should motivate you that no game is truly lost. If your team can throw that badly when ahead then so can the other team. So keep fighting and keep climbing.
