User blog comment:Leyrann/Elo rating doesn't work & Elo Hell exists/@comment-4012115-20121111200509

There is no elo hell ... (would be nice but no)

Your friend maybe was lucky (or u didnt took the first 10 matches serious) but if both of you have equal skill and play the same heroes both of you will end arround the same elo after 500 games 1k games ?

Never forget:

-You can carry games alone in low rating games (12xx rating or below) just pick the right heroes farm well and snowball

-Hero selection is rly important ... if you want rating and dont care about fun pick those heroes:

MID: Anivia / Orianna / TwistedFate / Karthus

TOP: Irelia / Jax / Wukong

JUNGLE: no special hero (playstyle more important)

BOT: Corki / Ezreal
