Elo hell is real

I started initially in season 4 at silver 3, didn't play much ranked after I got placed, and when I did I really didn't expect to be the ranking system to be so, hellish.... At least once every three games I would have some sort of troll or feeder making it nearly impossible to climb. I eventually just stopped playing ranked after I got demoted to silver 4. Next season I was placed in bronze 3 where I knew I had to climb out Surprisingly bronze is not as bad as silver. But when I finally got to silver I was overjoyed just to be met with what I assume to be the epitome of elo hell every game. Not as much leaver's but when I was in silver, teammates there were insanely terrible at the game refusing to listen to anything thank god you could report for not listening to the team at that time many people would say it doesn't exist but i've gone through it and seen the worst.

For me, elo hell wasn't really a problem with my teammates. It was the fact that I had a bronze 4 mmr in silver 5 and I gained ~5 LP per win and lost 30+ per loss. This was back in season 3 when you couldn't get demoted tiers. Even with a 60% winrate I net loss LP. I know eventually with enough games I would normalize my mmr but it would have taken hundreds of games. That was true elo hell.

Enjoy defeating ELO Hell. It will not be easy. It will test your spirit. Your determination. it will push you to the vary limits of rage and tilt. But should you defeat it, should you come out the other side as the victor...

You will have defeated ELO Hell. Welcome to the other side, friend.

in bronze you dont find unranked, unranked is the scum of silver/gold elo

Elo hell is absolutely horrible. I think even super high level diamond players lose 2-3 games of elo hell every 15-20 they play.

Trick 2g cant carry teams of bronzes in his subwars against silvers . he loses these repeatedly (agreed trick2g is boosted ).

Elo hell is very very very difficult to overcome and the best way to get out of it is duo with friends who want to get out.

There are many folks in elo hell who dont give two fucks and think what they are doing is absolutely fine (yet they are 1/15 at 10 minutes in the game). You talk to them and they either threaten to report you or mute you. Its not a nice place to be in. And as I made a post before Riot needs a new rank, Uninstall. Once someone falls to that level of LP the game uninstalls.

elo hell right now is gold 5-4 for me. am never getting out of here. don't mind it but its drawing me away from the game. the game still feels like the preseason. if not worse honestly.
