User blog comment:Leyrann/Elo rating doesn't work & Elo Hell exists/@comment-81.193.123.75-20121112165152

Here's how it really is: There is actually more probability to get a noob/feeder/afk in enemy team than in your team.

Lets believe you are a 1700 ELO player. That means that in 1000 ELO you just own everyone. So there are 9 players left. If they were all trolls/feeders/afk then your team has 4 trolls and 1 good player (you), while enemy team is full of trolls 5/5, what means you got more probability to win that game.

So if you believe ELO hell exists then you'll get out of there ONLY if you worth it. For example I was 600 elo 2 months ago and now I am doing really good in 1300. What I did was just spamming rankeds and I never dodged queues or pay attention to trolls. I was just doing my best. Of course there were bad games that I was owning (Akali 21/4/15) and I lost but I tried again and again and its not as hard as all think. Also its important to not surrender (only in special cases when you have something more important to do) as you can win a lost game simply because your enemies will relax.

Good Luck and sorry for long post. :)
