What's 1200+ elo like?

[quote=Samoh][quote=fifolek] below 1000, 1000-1400, above 1400 they are kind of different, but 1200-1400 is just like 1000-1200 below 1000 it is like playing against bots 1000-1400 it is like... well... most often you get a full team (s-top,jungler,APmid, sup+ad-bot) but not always 1400, nearly all supports get wards and most junglers gank that are the differences that I have spoted, but wasnt over 1400 for long, just like 15 games [/quote] It's nothing like playing against bots actually, have you ever actually experienced below 1000?[/quote]

[quote=Babit]^^ I've been slowly climbing out of ELO hell. Let me just say this. ELO HELL IS REAL. BUT! You are not at/cannot blame elo hell for your current ELO. It is just massively frustrating to climb up the ladders. Like everyone says. 1.Duo when you can. 2.Counterpick your lane(Win lane Win game^^) 3. Don't play support. It got to the point with me that I literally entered every ranked game and said I AM PLAYING SOLO TOP IRELIA. Then proceeded to instalock Irelia. I know this sounds retarded, but I climbed 300 ELO like this. I quickly fell back 150 elo as I couldn't really play play anything else, but now I feel comfortable in almost every position there is and just play what my team needs. (support Lux ftw)[/quote]

[quote=samgoeslol]i still say there is no elo hell losing several games due to awful/raging teammates happens to every1 but the chances of having a troll on your team is lower because there are 4 random players on your team opposed to 5 on the enemy team. What this means is: if you spam enaugh games you will get to your "true elo" whatever thats supposed to mean^^ not playing support is a good advice for super low elo but imo you can carry well as support aswelll. i won lots of games just by supporting as alistar/blitzcrank/leona/janna/sona and thats possible down to 1200 elo (done it) because a great support will win his lane for the ad carry at a very high percentage. I know a guy who made it over 1700 just playing support! to sum it up: 1. play your best position as often as possible 2. remain calm and dont flame 3. BUY WARDS THEY FUCKING WIN GAMES! DOESNT MATTER IF UR AD CARRY 4. gank lanes (if u r playing jungler, support in a winning lane or mid) 5. make calls for your team and try to be a good leader greez sam[/quote]

[quote=Wintermond]Oh, at topic: "What is 1200 elo like?" Derp. That's what it's like.[/quote]

[quote=Khazem]You're not really missing out on anything you'll find the exact same terrible ragers at any Elo If you think you're in Elo hell, you'll be in Elo hell even when you're 1800+[/quote]

[quote=JEFFY40HANDS]Soloque is a crap shoot... Arranged 5s or duo que is how people climb the ladders mostly... Watching Ocelete soloque and even he gets leavers/feeders/bad players... When a world class player tries to soloque and gets all the same issues that "normal" people get, clearly it can take a lot more than just skill to climb soloque ladders...Sure others have done it, but then again the game is shifting all the time...What was viable S1 has changed in S2...Or that's my assessment.[/quote]

[quote=Samoh]Arranged 5s, you can only solo/duo? But yeh, there really is no ELO hell, imo. If anything 2k is ELO hell, because when you lose, it's a something.[/quote]

[quote=Joobieo#41288]I'd give Riot money to make 4v5's not elo loss lol.[/quote]

[quote=JEFFY40HANDS]It'd be better if they didn't.[/quote]

[quote=Luther3000][quote=Joobieo] I'd give Riot money to make 4v5's not elo loss lol. [/quote] People would abuse this hard by making their friends leave to stop them losing Elo. Even if there were measures to deter that, people would flame about it. EG 'OMG ASHE YOU'RE SOOOOOOO BAD CANCER PLAYER, JUST LEAVE THE GAME SO WE DON'T LOSE ELO FFS'.[/quote]
