''Elo Hell''

I am mid not you·12/28/2014, 10:20:14 PM·1 votes·759 views

Whats up all, i am hearing alot of stories about the frightened and known ''Elo Hell'' I'm just here to say my toughts, opinions and my experience in Elo Hell.

As first i want to say to people who are think they are stuck in Elo Hell and think they deserve better: Shut up fool, play some PVP's, get urself a good mindset and play your way out of ''Elo Hell''

Elo Hell; also know as Bronze and Silver ranking, is called Elo Hell by the fact that there are more: Dc's, AFK's, 8 year olds, and trolls. I wanna say this is kind of true since 1/4 (on a rough day) you will have these. As a Silver 2 player i want to confirm that Elo Hell is much overrated by ALOT of players. People who win their lane (n'or doing fine ganks as junglers etc) get mad and rage against other people in their game. who lose, As said by League of Legends ''tips'' (when u got ingame) When u flame, rage or get mad at others, ur teammates will perform worse. Rather instead give them ADVICE in a nice way. I have been a level 30 for about 2 month now, and got right into ranked when i was hitting level 30. My first game was loss, i got my worse role and one of my worse champs (my fold) Even though i won the lane, and someone else was losing, rather than my adc (he was mad at the midlaner) i tought different, i was like yo; it might be better for us to roam since u got 4 kills and we got a dragon. Het got mad at me and irl i was starting to laugh my ass off. as a Janna i just roamed around to help others, it might not have helped alot other than that the game kept drag on. It helped myself being a better players (in my toughts).

This is befor i ended this post --

So here is the starting of my story and experience with my new toughts about League: After figuring out my favorite lane, champions, learning my mechanincs, know what to do and to know how to farm properly i started playing ranked again. I gotta say; i got kinda unlucky with a few games of mine. Lots of dc's etc, but as i said. These dont happen MORE than that u have 5 v 5. I found out my favorite lane really was mid. I still love to play Syndra, Fizz, Le Blanc, Yasuo and Zed, i also did my best learning these as much as i can. I started to jungle too, i found out that; i loved: Udyr, Rengar and Lee sin, now after saving up my IP and starting to get more champs i have 5 champs for every lane wich i LIKE and KNOW how to play with. Still im fighting my way out of silver. As a Silver II player, i DO think i deserve better since i MOSTLY win my lane, i dont wanna say Elo Hell is real, but i wanna say that their is difference in capabilities and experiences.

2 weeks later after tryng to improve and get better. -- Im now at Silv 2, 85LP and found out that for ME, Duo Q is the right way to go further in Ranked. This is how im experiencing things and how i feel about it. Elo Hell doesn't excist. It's about ur MINDSET. U don't have to rage when u lose, u have to find out what u could have done better.

What i learned: To be honest, i learned alot from my own. I played every role enough that i could say: I will fill when ever needed, i got my champpool and i got my mindset right. Muting players also will change ur mindset, eventough we are in preseason 5. Ranked is still better than PVP to get more experience. What also helped me alot are streams these are really good for experiencesand also a very good way to get better. I have been watching: Bjergsen, Trick2g, Dyrus and Nightblue (mainly) to improve myself and also Tried their tactics.

For people still thing like ''ah this is bs and stuff'' Please; stop rage and try to improve urself instead or ur team to become a better player. also ur mindset is shitty

If anyone would like to look at my replays PM me or reply , i dont know how to send em but if you know pleas tell me. Ofcourse i know what i am doing wrong in the LONG run, but tiny mistakes are important to. Please, PM, reply any grammatical mistakes. English isn't my former language, and I still find it hard to speak and write it properly.

Greeting, LuxRUSHownz.

For Authors Note: That's what i meant, gold players troll on silvers and eachother because they assume they are good (generally speaking) = deserve to be in bronze. Not that bronze players are like that, some are, however it's because it is the lowest rank available to LoL players.

Elo hell exists and it infests all the way up to challenger.

Elo hell doesn't mean a place where you can't raise ELO because your team sucks. It's hell you create and are the king over, and just as easily as you make it you can break it.

Statistically proven ( somewhere, i forgot link) there are more dc's in diamond than there are in lower ELO's, unbelievable right? Who would have thought 'heaven' would have so many dc's and trolls.

Author notes: Keep at it with the positive attitude, there are gold players that deserve to be silver because they don't know how to treat a human being.

Nah, it means that if you decide that you can never get out because of trolls. All you see are trolls. I'd call it insane, thinking you SEE something so much that you SEE it.

If you try to understand where your teammates are coming from, it's alot easier to rise in elo. For example, if you see someone call 'adc or feed' , it does NOT mean they are trolling. I've done this a long time ago too, and let me tell you as a former mega toxic silver (not that i'm any better now lol)

  1. I've had a streak of games where my main role was taken and they fed
  2. I have a bad day, yes those exist.
  3. Each time I get thrown in a role i dont know how to play without my consent and team continues to flame because I fed.
  4. I'm smurfing from a slightly higher division and I want to carry (idk why this would be a problem but it was for me)
  5. I thought I was as good as doublelift.

With this in mind, every time I smurf in Silver and my teammate calls 'adc or feed' I always tell my student that 'He's probably not trying to troll, but he's not asking for his role the correct way. Don't step out of line and say 'gg troll' because that will just make him even more furious.'

EXCERPT FROM MY DERP TO DIAMOND: I've been there, I know how it feels to be 'the best player in teh gayme but erry1 else sux'. I know what it feels like when you lost your series 5 times in a row because some guy feeds on your team multiple games in a row. I know what it feels like to want to punch a wall, sometimes I got so frustrated i literally just turned off my computer mid-laning phase. I know what it feels like to get camped bot lane, where your jungler is just feeding another. I know what if feels like to be called 'trash' I know what it feels like to be called 'trash' when you're doing the best. I know what it feels like to play against someone you counter or counters you and just flat out feed. I know what it feels like when your teammates put you down rather than encourage you.

Worst of all, I know the pain when instead of insulting you, your team is quiet. All you hear is the sound of ' You have been slain ' every couple of minutes and your team is desperately trying to push and win, albeit quietly.

This pain hurt me the most, because I know they have something to say and have ammo against me but they are being good people and they understand that bad games exist. They understand I'm only silver and that I can't perfect my gameplay. This pain that I felt when I realized i wasn't dragging down other toxics, i was dragging down good human beings that understood my pain. I was dragging down who if i just met them earlier, i could call my friends.

That pain helped me to grow into something more, someone who didn't say 'troll gg' the first second of the game. Granted, I still think i'm better than everyone because Doublelift poisoned me, but now I know better than to shut down a teammate when the enemy is already doing it for me.

With this in mind guys, it's not impossible to become a diamond player. It's not impossible to get my smurf's scores with a 16-2 win loss rate on your OWN accounts. What you need primarily is the WANT to become a diamond player, and that means giving up your old immature illogical 'gg' syndrome and growing up to become a fantastic player. A challenger player that when someone sees you in their champ select they say 'i hope nobody dodges, this is gonna be a great game even if we lose" rather than "fuck this guy is good but he is absolutely garbage to people" (Sorry for curse word, I needed to add in sparks for effect.)
