For those who are fighting to rais there ELO here is some encoragement. there is to much exspectation on having 1200 elo or more but the truth of the matter is that the average elo approximatly 1025 not 1200. if you are 1050 you are still better than more than 1/2 the ranked LOL players out there, Good job. the ELO system starts you higher than the avrage to throw the MUCH better player strait out of ELO HELL (which dose exist). most common players start ranked and loose alot, because of the first 30 games players play have a higher ELO loss/gain you will lose alot of ELO. therefore after you get a hang of it and your skills increse you will go up in ELO but very slowly. E.G. A friend of mine has 1080 ELO with 64 wins 58 losses, this is due to the larger ELO loss and gain at the start of your Ranked jurny.
