Elo hell, it does exsist: Solution

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......

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.
