if your elo doesnt improve you have found yur true elo. There is no elo hell, it is something people made up to excuse their low rating number. What most people dont understand is that elo=/= your laning skill. It doesnt matter if you win your lane. If you do shit in teamfights and get caught all the time alone past the laning phase, you are bad and it doesnt amtter if you went 10-0


And honestly this is what many of the "My real elo is a lot higher, just u noobs keeping me down" people seem to do. Almost always when i see someone complaining about elo hell in my game, they are people with good laning phase, get kills and farm well.

But then come team fights, they play overly aggressive, dive when they should not, have zero sense on how team fights are going to go, and just go all in on every opportunity. And when they have fed all of their advantage to the other team, they start blaming their team mates, because they are 2k players being held down by the noobs they ALWAYS get in their team...

Neo hung over from Halloween party last night or something.
Guys if I dropped 200 elo over a week yet I don't feed in any of my game that means I'm in elo hell right?
'Cause that would at least explain why all of a sudden I can't win a game...le sigh.

That's exactly how good you are

The most OP champion in League of Legends is statistics.

I went 19-2 or something with kat and we lost because our caitlyn kept getting caught before teamfights. There is nothing i can do about that.

guess you didn't carry hard enough

if you can't get yourself out of 800 elo, that ain't elo hell, that's where you belong.

I think I'm in ELO hell, and here's how I know
I troll and throw every game, which means that there are only 4 spots for competent players on my team while there are 5 on the other team. Therefore, in average games over the long run, there will be more good players on the opposing team and more noob feeder etcs on mine, resulting in the fact that I can never get to higher ELO.

ELO HELL IS HARD YO
When in doubt, just believe in yourself and press buttons

This whole game is made of good top/mids who then bitch at other top/mids forced to play other roles. If you're actually a good jungler or support then you team up with the millions of other top/mids and building elo is piss-easy.

Or just play 4-5 roles and do whatever your team needs.

Real easy to gain Elo when you don't have to worry about not having coverage.

Just accept there are games which you CAN'T win.Some people are just luckier than others and think that this happens rarely .

There is no elo hell though.But since this is a team game you can always lose/win no matter how you did.

ok so your saying u won 2v1 as cho and went 6-1 in lane? ok but that does nothing to win you the game... in order to carry out ur elo you have to make the big plays in mid game. just saying u won the lane is never going to win you the game, so are the games in high elo. ur team's score can be 20-40 and still win the game... i've heard enough ppl say that they went 15-0 in lane and then still lost the game due to "trashy teammates".. maybe, but you have no leadership skill and a trashy "mid game play". GETTING KILLS DOES NOT = WINNING THE GAME

Sorry, but if you cant get decent ELO with a large game sample, you are likely better off blaming yourself. Any good player gets himself to high ELO alone. Put the autobiographies in a blog. This only proves that you arent as good as you think you are at WINNING GAMES and CARRYING YOUR TEAM.
