if you're good enough, you can carry a game. I was at 1430 elo (as I'm really good at one of the champions I play, and play them almost exclusively), however, after 2 weeks of not playing, I quickly dropped to 1250. I don't feel it was due to bad teammates, as you have to assume the worst of your teammates, but because of my loss of experience and lack of ability to carry my games. Elo Hell is a myth. The higher elo you are, the higher tier of player you are (50% above 1200, 10% above 1800,etc). If you're an 1800 player, you can get to 1800 without a problem, because you're in the top 10% of people who play the game.
