Once again, I do not agree with you:

"Recent researc also indicate that external risk factors directly impact your performance (the more risk, the worse you perform)."

You are probably right but this affects both teams. External risks aren't taken in account is true, and could be adjusted, but that doesn't invalidate ELO.

And, about "ELO Hell": "In low elo you are paired with newbees, leavers and unskilled players". Unskilled players like the one there is too.

IMO, the fact is simple. At low ELO, every player does obvious mistakes.

That might be the guy that picked an AP mid that he just doesn't master

That might be the guy trying 1 vs 5 to deny and steal Baron.

That might be that guy who supports with 0 wards.

That might be that solo-top player who has a late game character and tries to kite a Renekton.

It might be the forever jungler with 0 ganks.

The non-last hitting ranged.

The "I'm trynda god mode come 1 on 1 noob" guy.

The guy that doesn't understand "teamplay" at all.

Everyone makes obvious mistakes at this ELO. And as their are obvious, people moan, because their teammates made obvious mistakes. What he doesn't see are his own mistake.

At those people, thinking their good but unlucky: Download LoL Replayer and watch yourselfafterwards. You'll see your not that great.
