When players think ELOHell isn't a thing.

Succubús GF··10 votes·634 views

It clearly is, I never said I was a god tier player. But you either get put up against smurfs on the other team/ or flaming feeders on your team. Logistically that is the outcome of 80% of ranked bronze games. Simply because

  1. Smurfing is frequent, I don't mind too much because it is a nice challenge and helps me learn a few things.
  2. There seems to be select time periods little kids get on to just walk around the jungle and feed hard. I know I am not the only one who gets them haha.
  3. Someone who was silver or gold last season thinks they are 100% better than everyone else. Let us be honest here. ELOHell is very real and very annoying, climbing is hard as hell, and I hate when someone says "I could climb out of bronze in one day. No, you can't for more than a few reasons. 1 being there isnt enough time in one day to get through b5-b1 even if you won every single game. 2. Being that you will receive toxic feeders in at least 1/5 games. So, stop implying that bronze players are invalid. Sure we don't know everything but I guarantee you don't either. Your climb was hard and don't deny it.

ELO hell doesn't exist.

It's an excuse made up by players who can't climb because they can't accept they aren't supposed to be above their ELO.

If you never AFK, troll, intentionally feed, or flame your team, that means the enemy team has a higher chance of having a person who does the aforementioned things, which give you the chance to abuse it.

well right now every elo is elo hell becuase of dynamic que, a few days ago the matchmaking system putting me on a team with 1 sub lvl 30 1 bronze 1 silver (me) 1 gold 1 plat

i don't remember their team skills.. but REALLY....

yes this was an unranked game. but the point still stands. match making shouldn't be this bad

{quoted} yes this was an unranked game

so no, the point doesn't stand. You're not going to experience that variation of players in a ranked game. When I got back into playing a few months ago, I was level 18 and queued with friends who were anywhere from unranked to diamond.

elo hell does exist and the only way to get out is to play stuff that's needed not what you want to play like my friend said I'd never get out of bronze, i was bronze 1 with like 40 lp and i showed my friend and he accepted the fact that i was getting out after that i stopped caring,

but through that time i did not play what i liked i played what i need to, now ELO doesn't mean much which I've learned the hard way

but your right elo hell exist and to get out its not very fun

Getting out of bronze wasn't really hard for me, the reason why is because I relearned the game and I took the time to improve my self. I looked at your match history and you're not doing good. Tomorrow I can get on my bronze smurf and carry you out and teach you how to play if you want. Just add me CaitlynjennerJR

ELOHell is just the fact that at low level the match making is terrible, the skill range between players is way too high. You can have level 10-20s who just started playing and gold ranked players in the same game. Generally the gold player carries hard ruining the game while the new players get wrecked and not even know what they did wrong

I'm only plat 1, so i'm not claiming to be a god, but when i play normal with a silver friend he pulls my rating down so low that i literally play shit like ap nocturne and get fed as fuck. You may deserve a higher rank than where you are i wont argue with that, but it isn't a drastic change in rank i guarantee it, if you are bronze at best you might deserve low silver. Remember that you are the only consistent thing in your games, you cant control the outcome of every game, but the key to climbing is making sure that you win the games you do have control over. Honestly the best tip to get out of bronze that i can think of is to turn off all chat and just grind. I get that that sounds ridiculous but that advice got two of my irl friends out of bronze in a week. tbh id benefit from turning it off too I'm just too stubborn. Good luck climbing.

side note, the new matchmaking is shitty, you will have a lot more unwinnable games than you used to, but you'll also have a lot more unlosable games, negativity bias is a bitch and everyone is bound to remember the unlosables more vividly.

elo hell doesnt exist all though this season more than ever climbing is more random and less skillful mainly cause of boosted players and the joke that is matchmaking in s6 but if your good enough you should be able to carry out of your elo
