Let it be known I'm not yet a ranked player. I'm looking to refine my game more before that.
So on one hand, we have LEGIONS of people who cry that elo hell is real.
On the other hand, we have examples of people purposefully moving up from an impossibly low location to say it is not.
So the verdict to most talented players is that ELO hell can not exist.
But surely not EVERY SINGLE ONE of the people who claim it does are just sniveling little dopes right?! Surely there are at least a few competent people who claim it exists. How does one explain their experiences?
If I had to take a guess. The people who are competent and are "stuck in ELO hell" are most likely very slim in numbers, and tbh those few are probably right. They do NOT deserve a "high" elo in ANY regards, but as an individual they probably play better than their ELO says, they're competent players and can carry, but just arent talented enough to carry through everyone they encounter at that elo.
tldr: the inescapable land where no one can fight their way through trolls and leavers does NOT exist, but for a slim number of people there is the potential for an ELO mildly less than what is deserved due to a small skill gap in their ability to carry.

People just say stuff about ELO hell. Honestly, if you can`t carry yourself consistently, then you deserve to be in that ELO.
Also, ELO is a score that only takes it`s full effect after playing multiple ranked games. Playing 50 or so games won`t determine your ELO, as you CAN get lucky|unlucky in those games.
tl;dr - If you can`t carry 3|4 people consistently ( Depending if you`re duo-queuing or not ), then you deserve to be in that ELO range.
Ex)Someone calls top saying it's their strongest lane and they always win it, 5 minutes in 3 deaths and turret is almost completely gone...
But it makes a sense that blogpost.
To be honest, when I cen define that ELO Hell... for my opinion it is below 1k Points.
And like Ninja wrote it, some players (incl me) aren't talented enough to go and past that mark.
Noobs here, Beginners there ... Regardless how good they can probably play, only 1 Player is enough to stuck someone down where he/she not belonging to.
(so your line, that this is an excuse is neglated for my mind)
So what is your thought, idea, "help" to past though that?
