Elo Hell, Reason you May Not be Able to Carry Yourself Out of Your Current elo and/or Rank

HideInGranny··10 votes·1,053 views

Trying to carry a game is probably the most easiest part of playing in bronze. Trying to carry 4 feeders is a different story. There is only so much you can take when you have a tahm eating people in your game and running into the enemy team. Another thing is dealing with these feeders your next game dealing with shit from the enemy team criticizing you because you make a comment in all chat (not toxic in anyway). Being told to cry constantly and being called a r%%%%% and to get good while you are the only one winning lane. I honestly cannot stand these types of things and for some reason I always meet these people at either high IP or during my promos or right after a promotion. League is easy people, so please before going to ranked and getting butt hurt about not getting your favorite roll or just feeding in general just practice. That's what normals are there for and that's what custom games, and bot games are there for as well.

for a moment i thought you were talking about silver... I dropped from s3 (promos to go in s2) to s5 due to people that intentionally fed. one game i gave some good advice in which we couldve turned it around but this mofo told me to act my elo and im not faker -_- Riot gave the trolls too much power and punishes the people that speak out against it (what they call toxicity) even though in other MMO's trolling is punished and what we call "toxicity" is allowed.

Couldn't agree more

reality is that your ally may be tired of the same things you're tired of every game so hes deciding to feed and throw. could be an endless variation of anyones day going sour and you'll get the boot end. best to just suck it up, take a deep breath, and say to yourself: This is only a video game, my life will not gain a year nor will bills get paid because of it. Win or lose.

You have 43% ranked winrate and die a ton, so you clearly belong there.

Elo Hell does not exist. If you do want to define it, its you in a state of mind that's negatively impacting all your games. If Elo Hell does exist, why would boosters be in business, if they're able to do their job?

Reason you're not able to carry yourself? You're not good enough. If you can't carry against the same players you say are all idiots, what makes you think you belong higher up?

I don't want to sound rude or hateful for this but have you tried carrying, even as a 9/2/5 any lane with 4 people that are all 1/8/2 or worse?

It's not easy. It really isn't.

And it shouldn't have to be that hard to raise up in the ranks. I should be able to prove my skill through an individual level mixed with teamwork.

That's how games should be won, not one guy carries while everyone else feeds.

To be fair, I don't get a lot of games with high amounts of feeders on my team, but that doesn't mean the amount is too high.

Elo Hell is a point in which your required skill level is much higher than what should be expected at your division.

And on the 6th day God saw that the enemy team had nothing to eat so he made the bot lane.

No Offense taken. I apologize if my response was perceived as brash and intrusive. ehmI was drunk ehm.

Answering your questions, yes I have tried carrying in that bad of games. I've been able to do it, considering I've ranked 3 accounts from unranked to diamond,yes I have seen the worst of it. It's easy for me, but that's not saying much since my skill level is that much higher, it was simple for me to single handily carry bronze-silver games with idiots on my teams.

When I say idiots, I mean people who are just bad at the game, not the troll intentional feeders.

It shouldn't be hard to rank up, but sadly it is. The design of the system is flawed and I hope they will be able to improve it in the future. I agree with the individual part, but sadly league's been here for a while now and the ranked system hasn't changed that drastically.

Sorry but your point is kind of invalid. I get that people do it, but have you ever seriously tried to carry yourself with trolls? Calling me not good enough is honestly hilarious. Put yourself in my shoes and everyone else's maybe before putting your thoughts into a response because the way you presented it in the last paragraph is honestly insulting.

I have, i do it whenever I play with my irl friends. They're terrible, doesn't mean they're not carryable. I have put myself into your shoes and everyone else's considering I've played through the ranks multiple times. Don't assume that I don't because a logical person would not comment on a post regarding a topic they don't know about. What about it is insulting? If you can't win, then you need to get better that's all there is too it. Teamwork and other things count, but I gave up on that after the first time I suggested a low elo player to build a certain item and he went on full tilt.

I'm not saying that you will be able to carry all the games especially the ones with trolls and intentional feeders. But if you're in "elo hell" where you claim your skill should put you in a higher division, then get better and carry yourself there, don't go around blaming your teammates, because frankly that's not helping you get anywhere. There will be games after you lose, you felt you did everything you could and move on. But all game if you kept blaming your teammates, I assure you there will be things you could've done better as well.

In no way am I claiming that I should be put in a higher division nor do I claim that this is helping me in any way shape or form. I like getting feedback from other's experiences and why something may not be working. Thanks though.

People shouldn't be able to troll/feed and ruin someones game, and thats bottom line.
