The reason why elo hell can exist is that alot of times the highest ranking player in the match is the newbie at 1200 elo. Who decides bans and gets first pick, now he/she will probably lose their lane cause they dont know the way ranked games work and will probably have taken the easier carries for backpacking your way out of hell(ap mid or ad carry). Now thats one bad player and one carry lost. Now this can be devestating in itself cause your team cant do enough now to win in team fights 4.5 v 5. Now when your last pick you can choose best to make up for that but if your not first or last pick your really stuck if first does bad bans and last cant play what is needed. Its real and until you are first pick you dont have much chance of getting out.
