The champion you choose has some importance, but not compared to your mindset.

ELO Hell is a product of player psychology.

If you, instead of expecting your teammates to carry, start adapting and playing as if they can't carry or do things right, you will eventually learn to carry on your own and do better.

You'll win more games, with or without Leavers, Feeders, AFKs, etc..

That's how all the pros do it.




OR you can accept that you're not that skilled with the game, and that you are in the ELO level you belong in.
If you're in the ELO you belong, by definition, you are no longer in ELO Hell.

you can always be blitz, no matter the elo if you are blitz you can help carry! ITS PRETTY HARD TO MESS UP IF THE ADC IS RIGHT INFRONT OF ALL 5 OF YOU(well silenced/knocked up)

The way I got out of elo hell is I literally became so good at dominating top lane that I would push all the way until the inner turrets so they had to put 2-3 people on me or they will lose turrets! At one point i was at 798 elo...when I was that low I would literally win the lane and just push all day because people were that bad XD. Basicly just become so much of a global threat that they have to take pressure off the other lanes to deal with you or they will lose turrets ect. Then again I play top well you play support? Maybe try roaming blitz or ali that is super strong in general.(note to be able to literally push to the inner turret you have to be a strong bruiser and you need to be able to cs well and kill the opponent a lot, it is also acceptable to roam and get dragon ect but, that's how I play solo queue push all day when fed and ward it all so you can't die then go for global objectives). Hope this helps I know how much elo hell sucks XD. Also janna imo is one of the better supports because she can save people and her passive is questionably the best in the game.

Ok let me give you my list of climbing soloq to 1400 without even knowing what you do.

Support:
Janna Just keep them away from the most fed persone on your team and most of you team in general and you do good. If you catch ppl with torndao into slow you are awesome.

Taric Build him tanky. Srsly go 16 points or more into defense and BE the tank becaus in soloq mostlikly no one else will be. Stun someone run at him look if you team floowse up. If yes unleash everything on him and heal yourself.


Sona QQQQQQQQQQQQQWEQQQWEQQEEQQQQQ. Just poke the **** out of the enemy lane. Even soraka lanes can have problems this. In team fights stay back land your ult on as many ppl as possible and yous power chords on everyone in range.


Jungle:
Alistar Gank mid Gank top Gank mid Gank top. You mates don't have to know what to do with the gold most ppl will get mad over so many ganks and start to play poorly.

Malphite Early ganks are me but you can still make them work. Try to counter gank. When you hit 6 gank everytime your ult is up. Build tanky. Abyssel is really awesome on him and helps your mid lane aswell.

Problem with roaming supports is that you need to know that your ad can hold without you when you go mid.

If you want to support your way up you need to be able to both get that ad fed, protect and still control the map.

The reason I go gp10 quints and 3 gp10 items is cause it helps me spam wards.

Oracles is good early if you are a bit tanky. Make it impossible for their jungle to come unnoticed on you.

The job as low elo support is way harder than adc. You have best map control and need to make the calls. If you have a special playstyle you need to let you adc know. I play mostly Taric and Leona, so I tell them that at lvl 2 I go in for kill and he needs to be ready and save mana. Make sure his skills are off cd.
If you for some reason want to follow my ranked journey to gold, you can do it Here.

I am against asking for rep, only rep me if you think I contributed well or said something wise.

I was in the exactly same situation as you were. I didn't play much of a supporter role, because it's so dependant on how good is the carry which you will get to your own lane. I usually went solo top / jungle / mid and just focused on my own doing. I tried to be as good as possible, but even that's not enough sometimes. 14/0/8 as xin zhao after lane phase ended (was solo top) and my team still managed to screw it up and we lost. I got out from ELO hell by playing bottom lane with my friend as support Alistar. Basically play duo que with your friend who is good. GEt him fed and you are so much closer to winning. Won 8 times in a row after huge loosing streak. Now I'm back stuck at 1300 tough, It's like 1 win and after that I immediatly loose the second one.

Solo top is a really easy lane to win depending on who you are against. Heres my list:

1. Kayle - Counters mostly everyone solo top.
2. Irelia - Amazing lane sustain and damage (Better nerf Irelia 2.0)
3. Riven - REWQ, watch your enemies QQ.
4. Kennen - Amazing solo toper, cant really go indepth about this.

Playing support will never get you out of elo hell. Depending on randoms to carry you every game is close to impossible lol. Find a carry role, practice, carry, and win.
