"Elo hell" doesn't "end" at a particular point. The idea behind "elo hell" is that you are clearly better than the people around you, but you can't consistently win, so what is "elo hell" for me might not be "elo hell" for someone else.

Strategies like this can work because people don't expect them to. Smarter players will be able to prevent cheese like this and capitalize on your disadvantages. To carry yourself out of your own supposed "elo hell," you need to find strategies that will repeatedly catch the opponent off-guard, to the point where you can basically force a win almost by yourself, whether it be straight outplaying and killing in lane, or clever ways of denying or ganking other lanes, etc.

at 9001 ELO.

just opened you profile & damn that **** works , now I should buy taric , btw where does elo hell ends in your opinion ?

This is arguebly the best and most epic guide I've ever read. And I've read alot of guides.

+1.

Good point.

Then I suppose yeah, you could put it somewhere else. Haha, didn't even notice that.

The one thing that stuck out to me, after trying this - was the starting gold. You have exactly 25g left over after buying your starting items, so why put 2 points into increased starting gold? Seems like you'd get more use out of another point in reduced cd or xp gain.

Just by this comment alone, I can tell you have not actually tried this guide. Ever try roaming and ganking without boots? First of all, you won't catch anyone off-guard. Secondly, if they turn on you, you can't run away and you'll just straight up die. You don't need pots because you won't be staying in lane. This is the difference.

Remember you're not playing a standard support role. You're being a ****. You need to remember this.



Again, you haven't tried it. After playing easily 100+ games of this strategy, I can tell you that over 80% of the time, your AD carry doesn't fall behind in CS, in fact, he sometimes gets ahead. This is because they are committed to farming as they don't have a choice without you in the lane. If you're not there, the lane will guaranteed be pushed to your tower, and more often than not, the enemy bot lane will be too obsessed with harassing your AD to farm as well. There's a huge difference between what SHOULD happen and what ACTUALLY happens. (Trust me, this is low ELO and I've played a lot of games with this strategy.)

Your enemy bot lane will sometimes roam to follow you. This doesn't happen often, but if it does, keep doing what you're doing, but just consider the possibility of them being there.

Also, you don't care how far you fall behind. You are a support with a hard CC as a basic skill. This should be all you need to change the tide of a fight. You have to be a **** to the enemy team. SACRIFICES ARE NECESSARY

And even if your AD does fall behind, who cares? You're getting other lanes fed and you're being the **** you want to be. You're still gonna win.

Nice and interesting guide, however I disagree with two things:

1. Boots + 2 sight wards is a really bad start against any lane which isn't extremely passive.

2. I can't say I agree with your roaming strategy, because while your AD carry may get ahead in levels, he WILL fall behind in CS - this is guaranteed - unless the lane is already pushed up to your tower. And pushing up to your tower means enemy bot lane can roam, too. And ganking mid is okay, but ganking top will put you so far behind it's not funny.

good man

advice taken

Haha funny and useful guide. Playing support is how i got out of my elo hell, and i was maining Taric. I feel your title would put off some people, I didn't think it would be a guide about getting out of elo hell. You could do "How to be a ****: A Guide to Climb Out of Hell" or something like that. Just my advice anyways
