Well so many players talk about elo hell so might as well mention it. I don't know if there was already a thread on this since I didn't check.
Truthfully I do think elo hell is real, but I didn't a long time ago. When I first started ranked in solo Q. I won the first 7 games. So I had a good start and I stayed in about 1400 elo for 20+ games. But then I started losing to these random leavers a feeders that I never even seen in ranked, and winning some because the other team had them. So I lost a lot in a row, won some in between, but trolling just never stopped until I was pretty low (don't feel like saying my elo for solo Q right now lol).
So what are your thoughts on elo hell?

What most people consider being ELO Hell is when you get queued with an amount of bad players in your team that makes it impossible for you to win.
You will find this amount on most ELO's, I'd say from 0-1800.
And even in very high ELO(>2000) you can still get queued with ELO 1800 Players who cannot keep up with the better players.


another interesting explanation I found a while ago:
Quoted:

At 100, Elo Hell is a Mordekaiser stacking Manamunes, feeding, and muttering in Portuguese about how he is #1.
At 1200 it's a team without a jungler.
At 1400 it's an Udyr sitting at bot at the 40 minute mark.
At 1800 it's the other team having 2200+ Elo Smurfs.

El Psy Congroo.

Meh, while annoying if you're good enough you'll eventually go up.
I've been stuck at 1500 for like 20 matches or so. I've almost always been the best player on both teams(at least since the split). 90% of my losses right now are because my allies fail their lanes, but hopefully I'll get higher soon.

Try winning a game when:
  • The captain firstpicks Evelyn, instalocks and calls bot(not roaming). (Eve WITHOUT STUN)
  • You have a Zilean+Eve combo at bot lane.
  • Your bot lane feeds the enemy 3kills in 5minutes.
  • Your top lane feeds the enemy 3kills in 10minutes.
  • Your team pushes and fights 4v5 when you say "B, I'm shopping" or "CARE, shopping".
ALL those happened during one ranked game for me. Our setup was Eve, Zilean, Mundo, Yorick and Amumu(me, second pick). I hard-carried those ****ers.

today i had a guy who wanted to play morde. other team banned morde and he went on complaining why we banned morde allthough he said he wanted him. we needed to explain him the ban system 3-4 times. after that i went for jungling starting at wolves. my team protected me then said guy now playing trynda walked close to me and before i even could write dont steal my exp he took one wolve and stole exp from the rest crippeling my jungling. also he walked by my golems when i killed them again stealing exp. therefore my ganks where a little late causing the solo top 1v2 singed to ragequit after they killed him.... just a story.

trynda meanwhile kept complaining why we banned mordekaiser
