The real reason I dont believe in elo hell is because if you ever watch a diamond-challenger player rank up an account, they normally place out of placements gold (or lets say silver?) and they will instantly climb, and its not because their team is full of smurfs/good players, its because they set up the environment (pressure, etc.) to make that game winnable.
But then you also see, sometimes they have these "troll" games that we're talking about, and then you see that it happens to everyone, so it makes me feel a bit better, that im not the only one getting trolled by monkey players.
Honestly its just 1 v 9 every game I play, and its stressful because sometimes I want to be carried, but then I realize, I have to carry and I cant rely on anyone, which sucks so bad. I want to be able to rely on my team, but then I realize how bad the average person in my elo is, and know that I cant rely on em'.
It's w/e I just hope I get some sort of motivation to play more ranked so I can finally rank up, cuz its too frustrating staying in silver/gold.
