Elo Hell does not exist. You are where you deserve to be.

Stop believing that ELO Hell exists.

That's the first step...

First, I suspect that you're looking at this from the wrong angle.

The all caps, and rude remarks about other players tells me you likely rage in game. If you do, stop it. The people that rage and fight with their team are the reason the games get lost.

You're fighting; the enemy is farming and expanding their lead. Soon as you rage/fight, you are the source of the loss, because morale can't usually be fixed after that.

If you're not raging/insulting/talking crap/BMing your team, then here's some hints I can help with.

-- Ward. There is NO harder carry than vision. If you're leaving fountain >75g and you don't have a ward, you're playing the game wrong. Period.

-- Ping people when enemies are MIA, and encourage them to ward for mids that roam, or after the first time they get ganked.

-- Watch the minimap. The first item, wards, is pointless without seeing the enemy with it. Then call your teams attention to that person with pings, especially if they're over extended.

-- If your lane opponent vanishes, either follow them OR push and take their tower.

-- Work on your CS. 15 minions is one kill. Remember that you can get just as fed off of great CS as you can with 5 kills and 40 cs at 20 minutes.

-- Focus objectives and don't wander. If there's a tower with no lane opponent, bang on it (of course after having properly warded). Every tick on a tower is closer to a game win. (Wander is different than roaming. Roaming is ganking other lanes with a purpose. Wandering is doing nothing productive, trying to decide what to do).

If you have further questions, add me in game. -T

Stop believing in ELO hell, that's the first step, then improve as a player, if you get behind in lane build utility and just be as annoying as possible in team fights, splitpush, keep an eye on objectives like Dragon and buff camps to contest them, look for roam opportunities, try to get the enemy jungler to come to your lane instead of your jungler, try to ward more than your support does, look for picks, get blue trinket on ADC late game for preventing picks and dueling around bushes. Don't chase into fog of war, ping like crazy, learn support, take TP for ganks, don't pick feast or famine champs.

So, some quick thoughts.

The good news first: I would guess that if you keep at it, you would reach at least mid-Silver, and it wouldn't take a whole lot of improvement for a real shot at gold.

The bad news: while League's ranked system is actually pretty good at putting players at the ranking they belong eventually, it often takes quite a lot of games to make it there. This goes double if you get placed in Bronze-low Silver and are a mid-SIlver level player. You climb, but due to the high skill varience at those levels, it can be a bit rough.

The other good news: there should be a soft reset in the near future with the start of S5. Depending on how your placements go, you might get to skip the grind through Bronze and low Silver. And if your placements go poorly, well, you have the whole season to climb.

TL:DR as far as I can tell, you should make mid-Silver at least if you play enough.

Some tips:

  1. You need to put your sightstone to better use when supporting. You ward more than most players in other roles, but fall flat when it comes to warding as a support. Remember, once you have sightstone, the wards are basically free, use em.

  2. It looks like you suffer from a similar issue to me. Your farming is pretty good in-lane, then drops off terribly in the mid-late game. IDK what to tell you here, other than try not to forget about farming after lane-phase.

  3. Don't bash your teammates, it never helps. Seriously, yelling at your teammates will not make them play better. You can try offering useful advice, if they respond with "STFU DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO NOOB," shake your head and hit the mute button. They are clearly not going to listen, and there is no point getting into a pissing match, so you may as well hit mute.

TRUE RESPONSE: the secret to getting out of elo hell is to stop playing LOL all together. B1-p5 last season and there is no such thing as ELO hell except that every league is ELO hell. It took 7 tries to go g2-g1 promos. Every league has bad players, afks, trolls, etc... Adjust and adapt becuase it will never stop if you want to play this game.
