Talk:Elo rating system/@comment-5237270-20120627081321

Elo hell is infact a real thing, unfortuantly...

Thing is that all the new players who wants to play ranked for the first time when they just got level 30, and doesn't understand the seriousness of it, don't really give a shit.

People saying "I'm 1900 rating and elo hell is under 1700" is complete bullshit. Just because they are below your level doesn't mean they are noobs, in fact they are concidered over average players if they are at 1700 elo.

You get rid of elo hell at around over 1300 elo, for sure. But you still might encounter some trolls who don't know any better at 1270-1290, but its still quite rare... Most are around 1100-1200 who got 0-15 wins... That is the real elo hell... But infact if you get even lower, you are also less likely to find elo hell... you find people getting victimized by the elo hell, trying to get back to their real elo. this is around 900-950 (most under are just plain unlucky or noobish.)

Elo is also a very bad system since its based on 1 v 1 system to determinate how good you are in the game (made for chess), so still i beleive it could be a better system which could be greated. (not that im gonna go into details how to do that)

I have been a victim of elo hell twice but always managed to get out of it by a looooong process, taking about 100 wins to raise 200 elo. But the system is created so, if you deserve it, you will manage to get out of it after a while... It is just very, very time consuming.

Thanks for reading, and hope this cleared your mine.

(Note: this is just my opinion after a long thinking about this so called "elo hell"

There is no facts on elo hell since it's just a theory and I just spoke my mind)
