ELO HELL IS SOOOO REAL

[quote=Restrictnine#5232]This... Elo hell... Its not a place on the brackets. It is more of the point where you can no longer outcarry the trolls, and you are kinda stuck. You are better than that elo, but not consistent or competent enough to reach where you really belong. How the trolls get there is one of several explanations. They are better than where they are but like to not try, they got carried by luck, or they are like you and aren't consistent enough.[/quote]

[/quote] That's the whole thing though, if you aren't consistent enough, you AREN'T good enough to be higher elo, and you SHOULDN'T raise any ELO because you don't belong higher than where you can consistently perform well.

This 'guide' doesn't rid of the problem, only shoves it out of the way. ;P[/quote]

[quote=Hershyy]Imo, Elo Hell exists because you let it happen to yourself. If you didn't fail in the first place you wouldn't be down there right? EDIT: I climbed about from 400- 900 elo this week with an amazing strategy. I had my 10 year old brother go on my 2nd account and play Sona while I played Vayne. He doesn't really know how to play but he knows how to spam q and w in our lane. Pretty fun to play with him for the first 10 minutes, but after that he's just... terrible.[/quote]

[quote=SixSonatas]ELO Hell: People who think they deserve to be higher ELO. ELO Heaven: People who think they deserve to be lower ELO. Real ELO: Play the game without thinking you deserve higher or lower ELO. It's all perspective. Glass is half empty or half full?[/quote]

[quote=Lemon Venom][quote=Hershyy] Imo, Elo Hell exists because you let it happen to yourself. If you didn't fail in the first place you wouldn't be down there right? [/quote] Yes, but most who get in ELO Hell are dragged down by other players. My understanding is that most people wouldn't QQ on the forums because THEY put themselves there. (Well, now that I think about it... Seems likely)[/quote]

[/quote] I had a guy yesterday ask me in the middle of the game what elo hell is. After I explained it too him, he complained about how he was stuck in elo hell. I check his history and its his 2nd ranked game played... wtf.[/quote]

[quote=Hanuul]2 Rep already? lolwut. Anyways right now after skarner update thing im waiting in a 23 minute Login Queue so I decided to check random things like this. Also furthermore you could get an OP champ to raise your ELO. I told my whole ranked team to feed in an arranged while I was on Karthus and got a pentakill for 5 500 gold people, along with the rest of my team getting some gold in assists. So funny they didnt buy a BV by then. As that was off-topic seriously though, get an OP carry, a character that barely dies, or you can be a meatshield tank to win. Whatever suits you best in solo queue. I always tell someone if they can't decide a champ "Use your best champ." And then I proceed to see that guy get like 15 kills. Really depends on trolls and feeders as a factor too. I think i'll stop here for now before it becomes tl;dr(but it probably already did).[/quote]

[quote=Darcurse]Back in business. [quote=Hanuul] ... Also furthermore you could get an OP champ to raise your ELO. ... [/quote] One way to talk about how Elo hell´s not existing but instead telling ppl to get sth "OP" to carry them... Have to admit, that using your best champ in early Elo seems to be better than trying to adapt to your teamsetup, though. (Sometimes it´s no biggie missing a real tank. Just need to get the advantage early) @Temzilla Couldnt care less about your personal crusade against my vicious grammar of evilness. (You´ll be utterly defeated, though) But you got it wrong back then (again). In that case, adapting means to cover what your team´s missing. For example: If they lack the courage to enter a teamfight: By picking a tank you can force them to enter, if the odds are in your favor ofc. And also dont get me wrong on that: My "mates" are nothing more than my pawns, is it that I´m the one sacrificing them or being the one sacrificing himself to move them.[/quote]

[quote=3pthorror]okay so i think im in elo hell becuase: I have ad ranged carries that try to go do dragon solo 20 min in with no pink ward and die to there team ganking or dragon itself I have kids who try to get kills lvl 1 in the side lanes draw tons of minion agro and die those kids ^ dont farm they only know of getting kills...so they usually fail hard I have a leaver on my team 2/3 games on a regular basis I am usually positive with the most farm on both teams I get kids who duo and go lane together and feed then leave together...together I get kids that quit once they die once I get kids who freak out when u dont ban tryndamere...-_-...they usually dodge and when they dont they sometimes purposely feed the trynd then tell me he is op and that they were right the whole time I get kids that jungle and refuse to give ap carries that need a lot of mana blue, and ad carries red I always buy the most wards no matter what role i am I get tons of players who do ap mf and lichbane tristana I get players who think u need a tank or ur gunna lose I get mostly players who have no idea of how important farming is I get enemies who are bad, but can do most of the important skills I don't know why I get trolled so much but.....I am in some sort of hell, whether it has to do with ELO or not I am in a hell of some sort[/quote]
