Why ELO hell exists

If you end up in Bronze at some point, it really is hard to climb out. This is do to the fact that if you start getting a good MMR to climb, the rest of your team ends up looking like this to balance it out. Let's assume you are mid.

Yeah, it is almost as if to get to silver, you would need to be as good as golds, and if you need to get to gold you gotta be as good as plats, it's fucked up because you have to be better than the people in the division you try to get to.

Climbing through being a Support main, it's more like

I was placed in bronze 3 in S6, got out within a day, and almost got to gold the next day. :P I don't know that ELO hell really exists like people say it does.

Most people I see in bronze kind of deserve to be in bronze.

You get placed in the eelo you belong in. It is only hard to climb out of it, if you are an unskilled player.

Work on improving your individual performance and stop relying on teammates. Your teammates are never going to have a brain until you are at least Diamond 3.

I dont really see elo hell existing for me. I am bronze 3 right now. I got placed in bronze 5 this season. I got to b3 within a few days. I havent been playing much ranked because of school or just wanting to play norms with friends. I bet if I play more I can get out pretty easily. Maybe I am lucky with my teams, or people are just over exaggerating how bad some players are. Players are just too bad to realize that they are bad, and that it takes time to be decent. Knowing this, it isnt and wasnt that hard to get out of the really low elo, now I just need to play more ranked and rank up. It isnt that hard, especially since most of the time your enemies are terrible as well.

Idk dude I got this shit a lot in bronze. I still blew through bronze with a 85% winrate first time though (first season in ranked) and went through silver with a 65% winrate. I carried the games that seemed impossible. It honestly just takes simple brain usage to get out of bronze and silver.

I dunno, just had a game where I killed lane as Talon (Yasuo) but the Garen top on my team hit whatever was next to him and chased too many kills into the other team. Not to mention by 15 min our Xayah was 0/10. I fall off near the end so I noticed that we had a chance to pull off an inhib and maybe even a nexus turret (entire nme team chasing morg on bot lane), but Xayah (who was with me) as well as Garen decide to go and help her. Riven was already bot lane and she was the only other good player on my team. Because of this, we were unable to win 20 minutes in, despite me frantically pinging to focus objectives and notice that Morg was actually distracting the enemy team. You see, in Bronze, many players don't like to listen. My question is HOW THE HELL DO YOU MAKE PEOPLE LISTEN????
