I made a previous post "A Quicker Way to the Tribunal" about a week ago. Nothing really came out of it but this time I'm just going on a full on rant.

So there I was, Kayle Top against an Ekko. He hurts a bit but I can duel him easily after he blows his abilities. Eventually, I get him low enough but Evelyn comes out of nowhere. I say yolo and get a kill from the 1 v 2 while going down. That's my lane.

Bot and Mid on the other hand. "First Blood." Okay that's not bad, we can still win. "Double Kill." Huh. Eh, they just need to play safer and we can help them out. 2 minutes later. "Double Kill." o_O Another few minutes later. "Dominating!" .......... 15:00 minutes. "Your inhibitor has been destroyed." Few minutes before. Jhin: I'm afk. Graves: Hold on we can still win! :D Illaoi: sits at fountain

Tell me. What about this is just to you? That I have to lose a ranked game when I could easily have won my lane and helped out my team had they not fed 0/8 in practically less than 10 minutes. If anyone wishes to call bullshit, I may as well upload screenshots at your request.

IDGAF what people say, there really is an ELO hell and it's where the trolls live.

Yeah it really sucks that one player can actually ruin the game for your team. I think an easy solution would be to lower the gold reward given for killing them a lot more than it does now if they are dying very frequently- that way if someone is intentionally feeding or dying excessively it eventually won't give them any reward. It's not perfect but I think it's the only solution that would help this issue.

This is just as susceptible to the statistical argument as anything else. Presuming you are not a feeder, there are 4 available slots for a feeder on your team, while there are 5 on the other team. In the long run, there will more often be "feeders" on the enemy team than on yours.

Have u actually consider teleporting bot and helping your teammates when they engaged in fight?

climbing isnt about a single game, its about averages

You just have to play enough games for the win rate to mean anything and push you up.

In DQ it'll probably take more games than any of the previous seasons, but it'll happen

Your frustration is real but Elo hell is not (at least not in the sense you're thinking of). You probably feel like you're in Elo hell because you've reached the MMR where you are winning about 50% of your games. You probably feel like you should be winning more but you aren't - and the reason you're losing is due to your teammates. It isn't. You've most likely just reached the appropriate level of skill for you where you will win half the time and lose half the time.
