Elo Hell exists in the way that with a LOW NUMBER OF GAMES, either you are a top player and can easily carry a bunch of 4 noobs, or the result of your matches will be random. In the long run you'll evebtually reach the place you belong to. However, if in the short run you fail to do so you might get frustrated and start playing worse or even become one of those ragers/Afkers.

The Elo system is well done, (like churcill said: democracy is the least worse regime) in the sense that it can hardly be better.

What riot lacks is a MORE PUNISHING SYSTEM in terms of both quickness and strength for afkers/leavers/people who don't play in team etc and allow people who reported to know the results of their report. If I know a report I send had a heavy and quick real effect I will be less inclined to undertake bad behaviour.
