ELO Hell Confirmed

Make yourself a cup of coffee, cause this is going to be a long post. I would say that I'm a decent league player, certainly not challenger or maybe even high diamond, but I'd say I'm a cut above the rest. Season 3, I was Plat whatever, and content with that rank. Season 4, I was Plat 3 and making my way easily through the games, that is until I decided to stop playing for almost the rest of the season. I decayed all the way down to Gold 5, while I wasn't happy I lost so much ELO, I was glad to receive the rewards. Season 5 rolls around and I play my placement games to get placed in Gold 1 a generous placement, I thought. Things were going well up until Gold 1 promotion, two games in a row I was placed with the same exact toxic, feeding players, one after the other, and the third game two players on my team dc'd. This would mark the beginning of my descent to hell. I lost consistently from there on out, bad team after bad team. Literally uncarriable games, games where every lane lost. This went on all the way down to Gold 3, by this point my W/L ration is at 40%. Perhaps some of the game I lost I could have done better, but I hadn't played since the start of season 4, and I was adjusting to the meta. NOW here comes my problem. I am 10 games under, and while I get fed every game I am faced with a daunting -20lp every loss. I spent a whole day playing yesterday, racking up about 7-8 wins and 3-4 losses in a 2 wins, 1 loss order and GAINED NOTHING, in fact I lost LP from when I started. So, my friends, I am here to tell you, there is in fact a hell and it's filled with every feeding, toxic, player you can imagine, all of whom think it's never their fault they're feeding.

I would say league is elo hell but last season it took me 7 try's to get past g2 promos. No other division took that long. But I know it doesn't get better lol

there is no tactic in low elo games, people say - play with team, use wards and that only will carry you out, bullshit, only thing you can do is to play some hyper carry and try to do everything on your own, there is no point of wards when you team has 0 map awareness, there is no point of spending you time in chat trying to teach monkey how to use a gun instead of banana, there is nothing even near to that high tactic games you see in championships when you play low elo games.

You need to carry and hope that you have someone who can carry in your team. Its pointless to play tank cos your team will just fail to engage when you do, its pointless to play support cos adc man be from wood and you both will end up useless late game.

Im still in bronze, often when playing from work and when i cant plat ranked games cos i might have to afk i play 1v1 customs, just make game in lobby , wait until someone joins, tell what im playing so they can pick counter and just practice, and often ppl say, dude why you still in bronze? well :''I believe in elo hell''
