Every time I win a game I only get 12 points per game and when I lose i get -23 points. Played 5 games last night took 5 hours and won all 5 of them. Then I get two bad games in a row where its a 4v5 or 3v5 on my team. Then all of my progress from last night 5 GAMES is erased cause in 2 games people afk. I have won 7/10 games so idk why this is happening. Just really sucks that people afking can ruin all of my work.
Grashnim3 votesYou win so little and lose so much because you're spiraling down.
IDKhow2LOL1 votesWhat do you mean.
nomeL2 votesThat's dumb, and i know it's hard being in lower elo.. Second game in my bronze 3 series and i get an olaf support and a garen who doesn't know what he's doing....
Jiberamu2 votesthats not true because eventually when your win rate gets even or positive you wont get that massive lp strain
IDKhow2LOL1 votesSee but my win rate has been at least even all season, so I don't get it.
Kazaashi2 votesThat is because the system reads your MMR as being below the ranking that you are at. If you can consistently win more than you lose, Your MMR will raise and you will see the LP even out, or even reverse if you improve enough.
IDKhow2LOL1 votesWhich I have done or have tried to do, however when you are the only one even even on your team it is very very hard. I know that if you are fed you are supposed to carry however, when every other team mate is like 3/11 or 0/8 it is almost impossible. One fed person vs. 2 or 3 on the enemy team. I know challenger or diamond and players of that high of elo can still carry most of the time, however I don't think I am that good yet. I believe honestly I should be a mid gold player, and don't think its fair the only way you can get out is essentially if you are a smurf from a very high elo.
Godhri2 votesit's not hard but if you play at the high silver to Gold level, you will get out in less than a month of consistent play guaranteed.
I say high silver to Gold because of other outlying factors such as afks, feeders, trolls, etc. Just focus on improving your laning skills and team fighting skills. You'll eventually carry yourself out.
Fyi, ELO hell doesn't actually exist. It's just a myth.
Kazaashi1 votesCarrying isn't about getting yourself fed. That is a way to carry, but to truly carry games, you have to set up your teammates to win also. Carrying is about making your teammates unable to lose the game. Force feed them kills and call the shots if no one else is or they are doing a bad job. Are your allies struggling in lane, then roam/gank to help them. I looked at your match history and I would recommend reading some high level strats and watching some vids about how to close out games and improving your teamwork.
Add me and we can maybe work together at getting better at this game.
IDKhow2LOL1 votesSee I agree with all of these things and do them however people don't listen or if they are afk can't really help them make better decisions. That would be like taking 4 bronze players putting them on an Gold or Plat team, have them play another normal Plat team, let the still remaining plat player make all the calls they would probably still lose. So there is only so much you can do to help people out and I do all of these things. I know the game is not team death match so I still get a lot of objectives. I solo drag and get towers all the time and still no success.

As for the AFK's, don't let those bother you too much (I know, easier said than done, lol). The AFK's will even out over a long enough series.
If you haven't learned about Tilt, I would HIGHLY recommend it.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tilt_(poker)
IDKhow2LOL1 votesI know what tilt is, and I usually if hardly ever go on it. I perform the same all game or even better late even as my teammates die or make bad choices.
21198243_DEL1 votesI decided to write a huge article explaining ELO, you can read that
phirestarter1 votesYou're reasoning is nice, but your premise flawed, and not based in reality. It's nice having pie in the sky explanations, but does nothing to actually explain what is going on.
phirestarter1 votesBased solely on the mmr system, elohell does not exist, HOWEVER, given the proliferation of eloboosters and their various hacks, exploits, and smurf accounts intended to feed and/or afk it 100% DOES EXIST.
For instance, here are a few just from my last 3 games:

http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-history/NA1/226314991
http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-history/NA1/215017168
These trolls are from games I've played before, which means I've been matched with these same people more than once and in the mean time NOTHING HAS HAPPENED TO THEIR ACCOUNTS. They aren't real players, they are automated bots which are used by eloboosters. They are placed on the enemy team, using matchmaker exploits and then promptly go AFK and/or feed.
