Meanwhile any diamond+ player can make a smurf and climb a couple divisions a day.

You aren't stuck in ELO hell, you just aren't playing well enough. And no, your positive KDA on Katarina/Yasuo/Teemo/whatever doesn't mean you played well enough.

If you play consistently correct, every game. You rise. Period. You will lose some games, but overall you will climb. Boxbox and others can gain rank in "ELO HELL" while doing dumb shit like Crit Attack Speed Riven. Stop making excuses.

Or you could just play Mordekaiser Teammate feeding? Null problemo, just enjoy the godlike clone :^)

Ive seen several smurfs who actually relate to the people who do complain and have actually apologized. You cant blame yourself exactly if your KDA, farm, objective securing is all okay yet your top laner dies 12 times and gives a significant exp and gold lead over your entire team. That right there would influence the match entirely so yes there is a time and place for excuses.

The only time the top-laner dies that many times is if their jungler is out-pacing yours significantly or their top laner is going super over-aggressive, in which case its mid/jungle's responsibility to punish and get fed off of.

Assuming nobody's trolling, at least.

You have to nip issues at the bud, not ignore them and hope it'll be okay.

Except you get the worst kind of trolls now and again. The ones that act like decent people at first, but then ping spam and ask for help constantly all the while feeding their asses off despite half the team pinging where the ally can go to receive help. And then you have an oppressively fed enemy who can't be killed despite every other person on your team having done a decent enough job to win the game all because one player thought it's hilarious to be a dick to everyone while pretending they're the victim.

Even though he is Silver, he is right about that.

The only way to climb consistently in solo is by carrying by yourself. For that you have to be far above your division. Playing only consistently correct will keep you on your rank. In silver 2 - Gold 5 you face unrankeds trying ranked for the first time, there is no way to win with an unranked on your team so those matches are lost. Hence why you have to win every other match meaning the only way to climb higher is by playing far above silver 2 - Gold 5

You all forget that there is bigger chance for those people to be in enemy team than in yours so they are not problem, I would say they are even making it easier. He also has never said that if you play like average Player in your division but you have to play correct. I know how is that, each season I get out from Silver or Gold and it doesn't look that bad.
