To those who say elo hell isnt real

I just had a game i was karma mid, and given i probably couldve done better but no matter how better i did i would not have won this game. I had a bard support who was literaly never in bot lane leaving the adc 1v2 while he roamed all game doing nothing useful. He had no sightstone the whole game, about the middle of the game he bought 3 zeals and just straight trolled if he wasnt trolling already. The top lane nunu walks into there team constantly 1v3 and dies for no reason and says "im playing nunu right you just suck". He ends the game 1/12 saying "score doesnt matter". So please instead of telling me elo hell doesnt exist tell me how to carry this game. To those who keep telling me i just suck and its all my fault every game that i lose then id love for you to show me better. I peeled for the adc who was probably the only person actually trying to win. Even though she had a bad score not much she could do 1v2 bot all game. I warded a lot the support never got a sightstone i was our only source of wards. http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/1858491375/207475109?tab=overview

Elo hell doesn't exist in the rendition that poor players like to think it does. Elo hell, realistically, is the point where a player reaches their skill-cap for carrying games-- but its a team game, so boo-hoo.

You shouldn't expect to win every game. You said it yourself that you could have played better, focus on that.

This is why my record look slike a roller coaster, because of trolls an afks...lets face it RIOT does not give a fuck.

What can Riot honestly do? It could be their first time trolling, and afk's happen. Could be that their PC crashed.

Honestly when in a rank and you play a lot...you see the same names, and these people it is NOT their first time trolling. I see the same trolls over and over again. Riot is not banning these people.

Trolls are usually the ones defending trolls.

im sorry I stopped reading at

I just had a game

you just don't start a matchmaking argument with that, you don't, ever.

Faith BreakerJun 17, 20151 votes

So start your arguments without having played the game?

my bad, here is my real answer, elo hell doesn't and will never exist in any ranked system ever.

only whiny kids like you wish it was real. It is not, you just suck and a shitton of other players would have played your games way way better than you and even won some of them by themselves, which makes them win more games than you, which makes them place in higher divisions than you. Understand the concept?

I don't really have a strong opinion about ELO Hell one way or another, as I am not a serious ranked player. I don't even play enough to say it doesn't exist ( having played enough to say so of my own opinion and rather not just agree with the notion)

By the way, why are you being so condescending to me? What have I said or done to provoke such animosity?

you couldnt have won this game bt for future games i can say a few things.

your apc if you peel for the adc then your probably jus going to get focused so i recoomend not standing near her so they cant focus both of you.
karma mid isnt bad bt if your team is doing bad your not going to be able to carry, simply because she only has 2 damaging moves and your going to need more time to kill people, bt if they dont wait then you can still kill people bt they will kill more (havnet played karma much so i could b wrong.)
pressure lanes alot, it slows teams down to constantly have to send people to wave clear bt once again, that game was impossible gl in future games

It sadly can occur usually the later in the season the worst it gets. I left for roughly...well almost 6 months and now that I am back games are decided more by chance then skill.

Just keep grinding at it. It can take over fifty games but eventually as long as you play well you climb out of it.

I feel you though had a ap cait last week before bug fixes...its hard sometimes if you can duo it makes the climb so much easier.

There are games that are unwinable the best thing you can do is try and convince your team to surrender those ones before they drag them out to long.

u can easily climb out yourself. in the lower elos you can 1v5 most of the time or just pick people off for no grouping.. Elo hell is barely a thing and ur not stuck in gold 2-3 cause of it .. i went from gold 5 to plat 3 currently

Not saying you can't I went from silver to plat 1 last season. I am saying though you can get into ruts during your climb where you get teams you just can't carry. Worst are the ones that take advice as though it was a personal insult.

I don't see elo hell as something you can't climb out of heck before my break i think i was plat 4? It is just a very annoying rut until you get over a certain bump. You can get to a higher elo without ever experiencing it but this season right now. Yeah I have matches where the outcome is decided by who is on my team rather then my own play.

Admittedly me maining support likely doesn't help that in gold elo.

Unfortunately your rank is based on a single game.

This is why I don't play ranked anymore.

ELO hell exists if you believe it exists.

Hey man i feel you ELO HELL IS FUCKING REAL!!! The only people who say it isnt real are those who got placed out of it early because they were lucky enough to not get afk's and trolls in provisionals! I for example was doing very well on a winning streak in ranked and got promoted but then after promotion had a long streak of afk after afk and people running straight down mid lane for no reason and top laners that would go 5/22 because they thought that tankiness meant they could 1v5 and i ended up demoted AGAIN. I dont care how fucking good you are no one can carry games with literal trolls especially when they happen one after another for days even weeks straight. So you all need to quit ragging on this guy for being "bad" for not carrying entire teams by himself that do nothing but feed because we all know you for sure as hell cant...If you guys could carry this hell you would be fucking LCS status.
