...or Why You Never See Any Pros Claiming they can Climb Out of Bronve IV

So had an interesting convo with my higher elo friends today...

It seems that while they rarely play against or with the same person twice, I am getting the same trolls over and over again. What gives Riot?

It's not just once or twice. I 've been matched with at least 5 different blocked and reported trolls over 10 different times. ( because I track them all in a spreadsheet )

So, yes elohell is very real, because it only takes 1 troll game to invalidate 4 regular games while trying to climb. I mean yes, it is my fault for not carrying but let's also be real here, Riot is the biggest troll of all.

Whoever invented the concept of elohell is the dumbest fuk there is in this community, but man i salute him, because it makes hilarious nonsense threads.

I am not good enough to climb out of bronze (for now). However, I know for a fact it can be done. Someone on my friend's list who I was matched up with a while ago (in bronze 5) is currently in his promos for bronze 3. He only plays a couple games a night (because I think he's smurfing) and has consistently carried games in his match history. He probably loses 1/10 games. Friended him purely so I can spectate every now and then and hopefully pick up some good habits.

Anyways, point is it can be done. Watch some of Foxdrop's unranked to diamond vids. He definitely carries matches with teammates that are all too familiar to me.

Yes, I'm sure there are eloboosters who do it all the time, however, sometimes, it gets me to thinking, things like, what the purpose of accounts like this are really used for:

Wow. That account should just be banned.

phirestarterApr 1, 20151 votes

Yes.

Aren't you curious tho....

Why would someone create an account like that? I mean that's not just to troll, trollz do it for the lulz, that doesn't seem like something that provides lulz, it's something else entirely...

...but what. : )

pro players can't climb from bronze 4 since they can't even get into it (I'm not joking, they often start at silver since getting into bronze means they need to lose about 6 games at such a low elo vs them).

if you get match with the same people, wait for about ten minute before rejoining. I also would like to point out that to get match with the people who troll so often, you had to have played just as bad as them to get that low. to climb, you have to play better.

Riot once matched me, with a particular troll over 4 times one afternoon, after the second dodge, I decided I was done. Went to work out, went to sleep, got up, started up League, and guess who was in my Champ Select Queue? Yup that same damn troll.

So you see, Riot, respectfully, is full of shit. : )

wow, that's just...wow. if true, that's something else. very sorry that happened to you. being match with the same person so many times and even after such a long break, not sure how that could happen.

If I wasn't keeping track in a spreadsheet, I would never have believe me either.

Statistically, you're less likely to have a troll on your team than the enemy team assuming you aren't a troll.

Yes, trolls suck. But they're on the enemy team too from time to time. You just got to ignore it and move on, because it's highly unlikely that the troll is ALWAYS on your team (though it might feel like it...).

That's just false though. there are a TON of videos of streamers going bronze to diamond, even in one stream session. just straight playing and winning. and winning. and winning. and its not one thing, there's tons of these. foxdrop does it with different champions. Boxbox did one or two smurf vids (not many since he didn't like it, felt like cheating) and he cleared ELO quickly.

Please don't put falsehoods in your first sentence. it invalidates your whole post.

Here's a good one where he actually tracks his LP gain over each day of playing, and posts his highlights. This way you can see that a better player will consistently gain LP. might not win every game, but they win enough.

And here's this guy who did a challenge that some smurfs do, where he tries to only play one champion and climb to plat or diamond. His vids are lengthier and follow his climb more in depth, but they're entertaining.
