To the person above me:

It has nothing to do with luck. Yes, there are trolls, but the destribution of trolls between the teams is sowhat 50/50. Which means yes, you will get "unlucky" and run into a losing streak where you lose 5 or even more games because of trolls. But (as seen mathematicaly) as the amount of ranked games aproaches infinity, you will get exactly as many winning streakes (without trolls, feeders etc.) as you get losing streakes (with trolls and feeders). So if you really don't belong in "elo hell" and play with noobs and trolls, then you are supposed to be able to carry yourself out of "elo hell", because in avarage you are better at this game than everyone else on both your and enemy's team.

Now purely my opinion on this term "elo hell": elo hell is nothing you get stuck in. Elo hell is actually just a term to describe lower elos. Why it's called elo hell?! Because it's full of leavers, afkers and generally rude and unfriendly people who think it's everyone else's fault they are in "elo hell" and also just random trolls, who want to do their troll thing and ruin everybody's day. But as I explained above - you can't get stuck in elo hell.
