I prefer to play support characters and after mostly doing bot fights, trying my hand at normal pvp means I'm constantly stuck with leavers and the likes. It also turns out the majority of people in around my elo have no idea what support does. An all too common example: Me->stun enemy with low hp; Teammate->run away ...

I think Elo hell does exist, but not in the sense that exemplary players are stuck forever playing with noobs, leavers and feeders because of noobs leavers and feeders. Like many have pointed out, the chances are just as good that the enemy team will suck than yours will.

The fact is LoL is a TEAM game and requires TEAMWORK. You can be the best tank or support or whatever player, but if your team doesn't work together and if you don't work with your team to make use of that and the enemy does, you wont win and your Elo wont go up. The obvious exception to this being carries, because a good carry can actually carry a bad team.

Conclusion? Learn to play a carry to get out of Elo hell. :)
