How to defeat ELO Hell and climb to a better tomorrow!!
Before we get to finding a solution to "elo hell", We must first ask ourselves, What exactly is it?. It is basically the idea that your ELO gets so low that you're only paired with terrible people and you'll never win to get your ELO back up to the level you believe you should be at. This idea can easily be debunked by the fact that there are ELO boosters who have proved time and time again that they are capable of winning and climbing quickly. If they can win, so can we. Climbing is indeed possible!!!.
Why are these elo boosters able to win so much easier than us? Well it's simple, They're better at the game than us and everyone in that division by far. the solution to this is quite simple, Improve yourself. Get better, Little by little bring your skill level to that of those ELO boosters.
If you play to win you're gonna have a bad time, Because to put it simply you don't have the skill to win. It's not that you're bad, I'm sure you're a decent player and deserve to be a higher rank but just not a high enough rank that will allow you to CARRY these games consistently at your current ELO. It is no secret that league of legends right now is filled with toxic players, AFKs, OP dynamic queue synergy and overall terrible players. These just make it that much harder to win games...
If you play to win all that is going to happen is you're going to tilt yourself and end up playing much worse yourself, Which in turn will make it more difficult for other players in your situation to climb. Basically, you become like those players on your previous teams that held you back by making dumb decisions. Tilt is vary real. And it will hold you back if you let it.
Now...I'm not suggesting you stop trying to win that would be crazy, Winning should ultimately be the goal of every game. I'm saying remember that winning isn't everything!
If you approach every game with the mindset of "I gotta improve" and are constantly looking for mistakes in YOUR play and how YOU can do better next time YOU'RE in this situation and are actively applying these improvements to YOUR play. Make sure to ignore other random peoples mistakes they're irrelevant. You WILL escape elo hell. You WILL climb ranks. and not only will you have climbed these ranks but you would have become a much better player much quicker than you would of had you been focused on wins.
Remember, You can't get to the level you wish to be at overnight. It will take some time. So be patient and constantly improve yourself, You will climb :).
TL;DR : Ignore players around you, focusing on their mistakes will only hold you back, Focus on your own play and how you can do better. Climbing is possible, ELO boosters proved this. Now simply make yourself as good as these elo boosters and you will climb. Be patient, it won't happen overnight.
