Playing only one champ aside, the problem i run into is that i do anything, but i haven't played nearly as many games as most people at my elo (120 wins normal, 15 wins ranked.) This puts me at the disadvanage of having less champs among more lanes, making counterpicking a pain in the ass. Sometimes it's impossible. Another thing about elo hell is that sometimes it isn't about team comp, it's about team communication. Played a game where my entire team gave suggestions on who to ban, but our first pick made bans that made no sense. He banned mundo and caitlyn for some reason, then went solotop as Darius. Other times, people just can't play their champs as well as they think they can, leaving the rest of the team to make up for it. I played a game where i won bot pretty well, but our solotop fiora not only lost her lane, but decided to stack 4 tiamats and a bt. One cc from the enemy team and she died before she could even ult. Elo hell isn't necessarily based on YOU, you can still get matched with people who "shouldn't be in this elo" because they can do one thing, but suck at another. The reason they probably got to that elo is because they were a good ad carry or a good mid, but they just can't solotop. Sure, they may know what they need to improve, but how do they? They're already at that elo, and can't stand the rage that it induces in their teammates. No, the only solution is to make a second account and level playing only solotop, improving their solotop, but not actually acquiring any ip on their main...
