From my experience when you get below the 1200 threshold you deal with D/Cers and that's where real ELO hell starts since 4v5s are almost guarunteed losses.

A major flaw in the ELO system is that the climb up is ridiculously challenging and the fact that the system only normalizes you to your true rank after MANY matches. This means that if you were amazing you may still take over 100 matches just to climb 200 ELO.
