to be honest I'm not even sure what his argument is anymore he just seems to disagree with everyone regardless.

Isn't that what trolls usually do? Also the flame bait by implying that everybody that disagrees with him is not well educated. Priceless

Or that could just be you misconstruing what I say. As i made no such implication and merely stated that it is never pointless to be well-educated and understand how things work.

Wait, I'm confused. Is he arguing that the threshold of a "large" number is going to be much higher than a normal player usually plays (especially if they're hovering around at an Elo they don't belong in)? Because yeah, I agree with that. Granted, it's not likely that you'll be stuck, and most of the players complaining probably should be at their ELO, but a significant portion of players will tend to be stuck at an ELO lower than what they should be.

I don't know what this argument is about anymore because I just scroll past these posts to see pictures of pretty flowers.

As for supports, I've been wondering with a shielding champ. Something along the lines of:
- can only shield either one of physical or magic damage at once
- whenever the shield's active, all regen, heals, etc. go toward the shield's HP. Soraka won't save you if the shield's set on magic damage when Tryndamere jumps at you
- you can get a nuke scaling on how much damage you've absorbed since the last cast/the shield went online, or whose damage type depends on which shield is on at the moment
- you can put the shield on an ally

The basic idea (only shield one type of damage at a time) looked great, but then even if you only picked some of the ideas put above, it can quickly become overly complicated, or hard to balance, and in the end totally miss the concept. I'd still like a champ designed around shields more than just having a spell grant one.
Cant take LMS hipsters serious.

Does that mean that for them they may be in some sorta hell regarding their elo? An elo hell if you will?

This elo discussion is so funny. Herp derp elo is a good approximation, herp derp no it isn't, herp derp yes it is, herp derp no it isn't.
Elo just states how much you won compared to how much you lost. That's it. So people with a high elo are winners. People with a low elo are losers. You may think someone with a high elo is a bad player, but he's still a winner. You may think you're a good player with low elo, but you're still a loser.

I agree. In reality people don't get stuck in Elo Hell even though it might theoretically happen.

Elo hell as in a 1450 player getting stuck in 1400. Not a 1800 player getting stuck in 1400.

It's more like Probability's Purgatory. It's Probability's waiting room before he calls you in to the higher ELO waiting room. Where you do penance until you're skilled enough to move on to the next waiting room.

What about a 2100 elo player getting stuck at 1600, or a 1600 elo player fluking up to 2100 and ruining 2100 elo games for his teammates who expected him to be better than a 1600 elo player?

I mean, in fairness, 400 Elo fluctuations actually do happen due to factors that don't involve "skill".

Again, remember the discussion of Damionwings being a 1600 Elo player that jumped to 2k after the Annie buff because he literally only knows how to play Annie?

Those don't happen. I can't think of a single case of either of these unless it's an obvious case of someone letting others use their account.

Comil, NA ladder... u can pick which case he is... i'll give you a hint, he is neither, he is a 1300 elo caliber player who spiked up to 2100.

So yes... they do happen.

That exists only if you played a small amount of games and if you get to 2.1k elo just by getting carried than its equivalent to you winning the lottery.
Elo hell does not exist,if you are better than the people you play against eventually you will rise no matter what sooner or later.
