BYE ELO HELL :)

My record from my 1st 2 seasons (S3 and S4) were 89 - 138. I started season 5 117 - 288. I'm ending season 5 in the positive, as of right now 355 - 339. Bringing my total record to 444 - 477!

Within the next 100 matches I play, I will have a positive overall record. For all those who are trapped in elo hell, let me be your motivation.

Bronze 5 was all I every knew, I was sure it would be my whole League of Legends career. And now LP gains and losses for Silver are 1 cyclone away, 1 accelerated blast away, 1 spirit fire away, 1 instant melt away from being positive!!!!!

It took me 4 college rule 70 page notebooks of Wiki and official site research to get to this point... and the journey has been worth.

THERE IS AN ESCAPE FROM HELL!!! BELIEVE IN YOURSELF BECAUSE I BELIEVE IN YOU! (just don't believe in yourself if you're against me, because I'm really a try hard now and refuse to lose even with a troll on my team lol)

From 1 hopeless Bronze 5 noob to another, the Silver League awaits you!

What is Elo Hell exactly? When your LP loss is double your LP gain because your MMR is way lower than your current level of play. Where you can win 8 matches in a row, only gaining 40 lp, but 1 loss is -20.

Talk about a toxic community. A player improves and encourages all others that their is light at the end of the tunnel, daring them to be optimistic and never give up... still gets down voted. It's saddening that this is what the community for a great game. You people should turn your wifi off for a few weeks and really get to know yourself, you're obviously not happy with your life if you can down vote a person wishing the best for everyone.

Elo hell is only elo hell if you suck.

I'm not trying to insult anyone, but it's true. Think about it, if you were just a bit more capable at carrying ( which is completely possible since you're stuck in silver, you have MUCH to learn ) You would be flying up the ladder.

Says the Bronze guy with the 37% win rate hahahahahahahahahahaha My win rate is 53% You should keep comments like that to yourself until you win at least 45% of your games

I don't know any smurfs with a negative win rate! It's not even possible for a smurf to drop below 50% I have a 71% win rate on the account I made when this one was banned for awhile.

lmfao this is my ranked 5s smurf account.

I'm kitty cat LOL's main account

Also to add onto your negative win rate comment

The solo queue games on kitty cat LOL weren't played by me, why would I spend 80 games getting to bronze 2? It doesn't take that many.

All you have to do is lose 10 promo games and probably 10 more.

I don't know because I've never been Silver.

Gold should be the minimum for every normal person. With the exception that you have stable connection and stable hardware.

If you have stable connection and stable hardware and you're still bronze, you need to get yourself checked.

Also how do you have 699 games in Bronze 2? LOOOOOOOL

But you're right, I asked for your stupid reply by posting on a Bronze 2 account, LMFAO.

K54Oct 25, 20152 votes

For a diamond player you sure are trying really hard to defend yourself. Also, all smurf accounts should be in the same league as the original. If you made a new account and ended up in bronze, that just means you suck and you're being carried by your team every game. Further proof of this is that you only play ADC, a role that you can do absolutely nothing at all but farm minions for 30 minutes and become OP hahahahahaha

Even more evident to the aforementioned is that you go negative every solo queue game and your solo queue win rate is complete garbage. All your wins come from playing ranked team. You also play majority normals after you made it to Diamond 4. Too scared to play ranked without your buddies carrying you because you know you'll drop drastically just like your smurf account.

Lastly, literally roughly 65% of League's players are silver, and 20% are bronze, 10% are gold, platinum, diamond, challenger make up less than 5%.

So that's definitely a contradiction to your Gold minimum statement, as a casual player, I'm right where I'm supposed to be.

illogikOct 25, 20152 votes

Lol I already told you I didn't play ranked solo queue on my " smurf " account

Been playing for 5 seasons and I've gotten 5 accounts into Diamond 3 / 2

I'm burnt out on this game just like the many pros who are as well and probably the players who started around the same time I did as well.

Diamond is top 2% because league is such a popular game and there's much more casual players to fill up the bottom tiers to make Diamond seem scarce, when in reality you can reach Diamond 5 with half a brain.

it doesn't really matter though.

You're a bronze 2 player with 700 games, nothing is more pathetic than that.

Bronze 2 with 700, Seven HUNDRED games. Someone needs to stop ditching class and start paying attention.

You won't even get a border for the season, because you literally don't deserve anything LOL.

You can say WHATEVER you think to be true. But it still stands that you've played nearly 1000 ranked solo queue games and you're still stuck in the LOWEST tier of the ladder. You won't even touch Gold until 2025 with the pace you're going at.

Stay bronze child (:

I was actually talking about your Electra account lmfao your solo ranked stats are complete trash

Also I overcame a 200 loss gap. So I think I should awarded most improved. This was my 1st time ever touching a PVP or computer RPG game, I went into ranked buying item 3146 and item 3006 for every champ I played. I also not once ever bought a defensive item. So I was glass no matter what champ I used.

Funny thing is, if you check websites like op.gg, lolking, lolstarz, lolskill it shows you your stats for the month, last 20 games, the week, last 100/200 games played.

My win % for my last 200 games is 82%, yours is 48%

Says a lot. You're a player that started off doing well and got complacent, I'm player that started as complete trash and at this point, you should probably be taking advice from me noob.

So, unless you want some pointers, this conversation is over.

PS only pathetic people log into different accounts to upvote themselves. I bet you have a fake Facebook profile that you use to go like all your pictures with hahahahahaha

id think the deffention of elo hell is where you can win the game and the game can easily be won yet your team mates seem to be working against you or seem clearly not on your level

where me and my team get the ace could get mid tower + inhab but non of them seem to realize to push and all go b when the enemy team is dead 40 sec

i know and ping ask for help pushing tower but they al back clearly im allot better than them and have better understanding of the game ( maybe they have a bit better mechanics ) but i think game understanding is more importand clearly i know how to finish games better than they do if id get games like these over and over again id feel like im in elo hell ( this was what haappend to me in silver )

K54Oct 23, 20151 votes

This actually just happened to me. I ran AP Nasus for waveclear, destroyed 5 inhibitors and 8 turrets, couldn't get my team to do anything right.

57 minutes into the game, their Nexus is open, I tell my team to go Nexus, I'm going to pretend to do dragon. I run to Nexus, get literally to 1 AA before I get killed. My team got killed at dragon. Literally if there was 1 caster or Siege minion around, their Nexus would have been destroyed. We got aced with like 80 sec respawn timer, GG. We still had all our mid turrets, I still had my outer turret. We lost because of late game ACE, for a match that should have ended 20 minutes earlier.

My point of stress (which is why I'm done playing for today), is when enemy Nexus was open for the 2nd time, we had their jgs warded so we saw their whole team going to baron. These idiots went to contest baron instead of ending the game. They got baron, everybody died. Varus melted me because he recalled.

That my friend, is true elo hell. Having the game won for literally 45 minutes, but your teammates all have their own agenda.

Read my reply to LeagueOfFoxTrot, Elo Hell has nothing to do with elo, but summoner understanding of the game. At silver, everybody is fundamentally sound and have the basic knowledge of champions and itemization.

I noticed from spectating games, the higher in elo you go, the single player skill doesn't really improve, but the team chemistry, composition, warding, communication (or just knowing what to expect from your teammate) improves. When I watch diamond/challenger elo games, they look like pro Dota 2 matches, very slow paced, not many risks taken, way less aggression, only safe poking, laning phase is highly focused on CS until the jungler comes with his fox buff or item 3341

All the silver matches I've played, trolls were clear trolls. Unlike in bronze where a troll can honestly just not know what they're doing wrong. For example, a full health TahmKench ult'd to my lane allowing his Olaf to recall and forcing me to retreat under my turret and attempt to recall. He finished off my minion wave and dived me under my turret, easy kill since I was using Irelia . I waited for his 1st attack, used my QE to close the gap and stun, activated my W the turret hit him about 4 or 5 times.

That's something that only happens in elo hell, from spectating challenger games, I know for a fact that a support Kench would canceled his ult when he saw Olaf escape, would have brought ADC so he could actually kill me, accompanied by his jungle Kindred , or at the very least would have known that I'd stun him if he walked too deep into turret range so he would just cast the occasional tongue lash just to interrupt my recall a few times from the bush behind the turret, being fully aware of turret range.

i feel like its less smart to play save in silver (like diamonds do)

because taking non risk and savely poking is deffenetly the best deccision on the condition that your team does the same but me staying save not feeding vs an unskilled enemy while my bot lane or top lane is going hamms on them constantly and feeds means i got less chances to make my enemy laner feed as much

i really feel like my matches go allot better when i make some risky plays ( im silverish elo )

Silvers are mechanically far inferior to plats and diamonds.

I was placed in B5 at the beginning of this season and I climbed to S1 in 2 months. B5 was probably the most fun I've ever had since I starting playing this game in season four. I don't understand this whole "Elo hell".

K54Oct 23, 20151 votes

Elo hell, the place where you're matched with people that don't understand the game or champions, where a jg MasterYi with a item 3707 and no item 3153 challenges Swain Olaf TahmKench to 1v1s and goes 4/14 end game.

Where people don't understand that some kits are built specifically around destroying other kits, but the common phrase is "This is bronze, no such thing as a counter" not comprehending that if 2 players are of equal skill (or lack of skill) that the one with a kit built for killing the other will always win.

Elo hell is the place where you have a Morgana mid, Soraka support, Ekko top, Diana jg and the person picks Lux.

Elo hell is where the trolls don't know they're trolling. As opposed to higher elos like Silver, where all trolls are doing it intentionally because the players at Silver and higher elos at least have an understanding of the game.

Master yi with warriors is fine... and just because he doesnt build a bork doesnt mean he is bad, you just need to fucking build situationally. If you want early pressure over a 30 min game of farmville, go warriors and snowball that way. People who think there is only one way to play a champ are sadly mistaken

K54Oct 23, 20151 votes

I never said there wasn't multiple ways to build a champ. That's a specific reference to a match I just played, noticed I actually mentioned the enemy champs. Since you have it all figured, please tell me any situation whatsoever that's is OK for a Yi to challenge a Swain Olaf without attack speed or life steal?

I say this with all seriousness, I have 1077 RP and 2150 IP at the moment, if you can beat my Olaf Swain with MasterYi , no lifesteal or attack speed, I can gift you anything as long as it's not more than what I currently have at the moment.

DaProphet2Oct 23, 20151 votes

Can I hop in on this bet?

K54Oct 24, 20151 votes

Yeah, the offer still stands, you're not allowed to build AS or LS though. Same rules apply. I'll also be checking your runes to make sure you're not trying to use LS or AS quints, because this guy was running the basic flat AD quints and marks.

DaProphet2Oct 24, 20151 votes

Ok, well my method of 1v2-ing my Master Yi against your Olaf and Swain doesn't matter about what runes or masteries. And let me just make it clear that you said ANY situation. Let's say that Master Yi has 6 of these: item 3089 . And lets say that the Swain and Olaf were afk for i dunno, 45 minutes. They bot run mid, and it's an easy double kill. I know this is a ridiculous situation, but it is possible. Well I think I met your criteria sooo...

EDIT: I am pretty sure my rune page has one of those things that you mentioned, but I haven't updated that in so long; I have been waiting to get a few champions before I start buying tier 3 runes. And with the scenario that I mentioned, it really doesn't matter.

K54Oct 25, 20151 votes

I don't think a 3v5 game would run 45 minutes with your mid and top being AFK lmfao, but wishful thinking. That's irrelevant anyway, my offer is that you beat me 1v1 using Master Yi without LS or AS, I'd be using Olaf or Swain.

DaProphet2Oct 25, 20151 votes

Ok then, I have another situation, lag. And another: if you for some reason break your wrist in the match and let me kill you. Easy kill :)

K54Oct 25, 20151 votes

I'm done entertaining your hypothetical shenanigans, unless you're accepting the challenge, I don't feel the need to acknowledge responses, which can be perceived as trolling anyway.
