I wont mention the guys name because apparently it is against the rules. But if you want to know it please feel free to ask me in-game
Where to begin, well I guess I will start with this guys score. 1-14-6!! This player picked before their middle and just got straight up owned from minute 1. After several attempts for us to get him to stop feeding I.E telling him when to fall back, when to fight and when to stop acting stupid, he just would not listen.

I am not going to continue to write a giant paragraph of his mistakes, the constant dives and the constant lack of communication is more then enough.

I dont think it is possible to get out this elo with people like this. It frustrating that I lose elo because of players like him.

If the link does not work I will provide the correct one.

You know, if you stay in the Elo bracket you're in, there'll be players like this on the enemy team too, right? You may have lost this match only because you had some clown in mid lane, but at some either in the past or future, you have a win only because the enemy team had some clown in mid lane like this.

And the circle goes round and round because people dont understand the mechanics of the game.

There's not a round-and-round circle going anywhere. You think you're losing Elo because you have bad players on your team. You're also gaining at least as much Elo because the enemy team has bad players also.

Then there are games in the middle where everyone is about even, and whether you win or lose is based on how you play. These are the games you have to win if you want to raise your own Elo.

if this is as bad as it sounds how do people get a good elo ranking? how do some people climb out of "elo hell"?

im not saying that some people dont play terribly and throw the game for their team but wouldnt this theoretically happen 50% of the time?

does this mean to get to those elos where the stupid people throwing the game because they dont know what they are doing (not because they are having a bad game bec everyone has those) you have to be good enough to figure out how to win some of those games that would be thrown?

is there a skill jump at some elo range that pulls these players from the pack?

my guess is yes
