To those who say "there is no elo hell you just suck" you have clearly not had these kinds of people on your team. Ive had a top lane when i was jg said go bot or ill smite steal your gromp. I wanted blue buff on kha i like my blue i dont like starting bot its my jungle i can start where i like, demanding the jungler to not start where is best for them does not help them at all. So he sat at gromp i had to Q/smite so he wouldnt steal then he tried to do blue but figure out he couldnt tank it, i couldnt do blue or else hed steal it so that slowed down my jungle clear already. Then he went to wolves and killed the big one and small one. So i have 0 early pressure when i should have, im behind in farm im behind in level. Another game someone wants duo bot but i was first pick so i went adc. They trolled and went cho/sion bot forcing me to go mid even though i was adc. And i have many more examples. These games are examples of elo hell. No i dont believe im a challenger ranked player not even close. Im merely trying to point to all of you who dont believe that low elo a lot of games are lost due to toxicity, trolls, and afks. Ive lost plenty of games due to these things however ive also had it the other way around. Where ive won games cause the other team has it. Im tired of my rank being determined whether it be good or bad by trolls/toxic people/afks. Please riot fix it and ban people who do this, or i may just go to heroes of the storm i am so tired of this

Let's examine this for a second. If your aim is to win the game, do your actions make sense? Use Ekko ult to go back in time. Do the beginning of that game again. Do you make the same decision? Piss your top off by starting Gromp, taking it, and have him almost suicide to blue? OR go start at another camp and let him have his Gromp?

"Right" doesn't matter. "Wrong" doesn't matter. He's going to do what he's going to do, no matter how many times you rewind to restart that game. With that in mind, I hope you realize that you would get the whole team off to a better start by going to start bot side.

I am not arguing that your top laner should have done what he did. But making a bad decision in order to prove he can't push you around just makes things worse. If standing up to a bully is more important to you, keep doing that. If winning the game and getting out of Bronze is more important to you, make the best decision in every situation even when you're reacting to a teammate's bad decision, even if it means swallowing your pride and letting them think they were right.

I have multiple accounts I have many friends from real life to online, from bronze 5-diamond

None of my friends or I will ever say elo hell exists. There are trolls, toxic players, and afks that's a fact but it's in the minorities.

The question is do you have those kinds of teammates every game? if you say yes, you are clearly lying. Since it's impossible to get matched with bad teammates every single game, it's mostly you that needs to improve.

Pro tip: spam Annie in solo queue. It's how I got out of bronze in a day.
