Elo hell, it does exsist: Solution

l DownLink l··3 votes·829 views

So first off, I've played since season 1, I know how to climb, been out of platinum, but there is an elo hell. This account has found it. This account has elo decay, plus terrible MMR for its division. I know all you "pro" players say it doesnt exsist, but you have never been stuck in the bad part of a low elo division. I get wins, I get loses, I get afks, I get trolls. What I shouldn't be getting is players entire tiers below me on my team, verse players an entire tier above me. How is that balance in a game that already has so many factors determining if you win or not. This isn't a "I deserve to be challenger" post, this is a post that can offer Riot advice on low elo bullshit thats been going on since it started. Theres 5 divisions per tier which is ok for platinum+, but anything below that has a lot more players slammed into the same division, Its really simple to get into gold by getting carried, then you end up falling back into silver. Now to fix this stupid ass ranking system, add more divisions in lower elo. Who really cares if it takes longer to get from bronze to silver or silver to gold when the struggle is already a headache. I rather have to win 50+ games to go from bronze to silver 1 in a row, then play another game with people who dont even know what a ward is still.

TLDR; Solution to Low Elo. add 5-10 more divisions in bronze - gold, the most a team can differ in players shouldn't exceed 3 divisions. I'd much rather play with people in my division then get the random gold guy in silver who thinks they are hot shit. No point in trying to rush the lower tiers when its a great learning experience, but some times its overwhelming.

Elo hell doesn't exist, there however is a luck factor to LoL, especially when it comes to matchmaking on top of everyone actually playing and playing to their best.

I went from bronze 1 placement to platinum in 120 games with no problem and a 70 percent win rate and never dropped down in a single division the entire time. I just looked up your account by the way. You have literally only 1 champ above a 3.0 kda and average more deaths then kills 6.7 kills 7.0 deaths and play nothing but carry's..... That's insanely bad man....

Don't blame the system when you don't even have a positive kda ZzzZz If i'm a support main and can go through 3 divisions in 120 games I don't quite understand this problem of "Elo Hell" you are referring too. Guess what all my mains have 4.0+ kdas meanwhile you average kda's are like 2.0 at best......

welll....... i have an extremely positive KDA but i still cant climb because my mmr dictates i only play with people around the g3 level. and promotional matches say i need to win 4/6 or 3/4 of THOSE games to advance, not against s2 players (my actual rank atm).

Your MMR has nothing to do with it, you have only played a total of like 50 games which is nothing. If you want to advance it takes alot of time and dedication. Ranked is not for everyone, if you don't have the time to invest id stick to just playing normals with friends. I mean you won 25 of those games so at most you'd only advance like 3 tiers anyways, meaning that you would still be in silver. You haven't played enough to make it anywhere at this point.

your mmr says who you play with, mmr for the most part is fair, but the combination with league ranking ruins the system. my losses are close games(with a huge heavy team), and my wins(when teams are more or less fair and other lanes are even) are snowball games where i really shine and make a difference. (did you look at my mid lane stats)

that and i dont always get mid every game =/

Obviously some people don't realize this game isn't COD, KDA will not define your win rate or your performance. I also said I'm not here to say I deserve to be higher, I'm trying to make the low elo climb better for everyone.

Yea but your kda shows your average stats in a game man, if you die 7+ times a game it means you are feeding the enemy team alot of gold which in turn means you are helping the team lose the game. I mean for instance Blitzcrank is my main, and on him my kda is 4.2. Now being that my kda is extremely high with him, my actual W/L ratio on him is 44-21. That just shows you the link between a kda and winning games.

If you have a bad kda expecially one showing lots of deaths obviously you are giving the enemy way to much gold which in turn makes the games 10x harder. I mean whats the point of going mid and having more deaths then kills and then turning around and saying you have bads on your team?
