Biggest mistakes that Bronze/Silver/Gold players do in "Elo Hell"
Hey everyone. I wrote and posted this exact discussion topic almost 3 years ago. I think it's more prevalent now than ever. Please read, and let me know your thoughts:
Dear players,
I'm a high Diamond player and I constantly hear from my real life friends that low ELO is impossible to pass once one is locked in it. After making a smurf and exposing myself to this "Elo Hell" I've made a conclusion to why games seem so hard, and how people can easily get out of, or avoid this "Elo Hell".
- The first part that I want to touch on is why games in low ELO seem even harder to win than games in high Diamond sometimes. My first game in Silver 3 I noticed almost instantly that everyone is stuck in the mindset that they MUST carry the game in order to get out. With this shared philosophy, about everyone in the game is playing, in a lack of a better term, selfish. I can half-reason with why everyone feels this way, they consistently play with others who believe in the same idea or other players they deem "don't belong (boosted)".
On the other hand, players need to realize that this isn't Starcraft or Warcraft, where skill is determined through one vs one player abilities. This is a team game and in team games skill is much rather determined through how well players can sacrifice for the sake of the team's victory. Compatibility is key in team games, and this isn't any different for League of Legends. If you're asked or notice that your team needs a certain champion to have an edge, don't turn your back on them because "you need to carry solo only".
- This transitions well into the second part of my synopsis which focuses on what low ELO players should do to grind their way out of "Elo Hell". If being selfish is what keeps you locked in Bronze/Silver/Gold, then maybe being SELFLESS will be a key quality to breaking free and ranking up. This won't come easy, especially to the players who have played for many years. However, slowly try to embed characteristics of being selfless, sacrificing for the team, and getting more victories than reports. Remember, You don't need to carry every game, in fact, the best players in any sport or e-sport don't carry their teams by putting them on their backs. They do it by getting all their teammates to play the best of their abilities!
Good Luck, and let me know if this helped or not!
