[i]"I'm in elo hell because I didn't get proper teammates continueously"[/i]

You also got bad opponents, yet you were not good enough to make the difference. If you are above that elo range, you should make the difference enough to win at least 55% of matches (which is enough to increase your elo eventually).

What I read from your text is actually "I didn't get good enough allies do to carry me". Sure, you might get a quitter in your team, but you also get quitters on the enemy team once in a while giving you a free win. It balances out eventually. Luck does exist, I've had friends who should be at 1200 get lucky and up to 1600. Same goes for being unlucky, but if you keep playing, in the long run, you will get out of ELO hell eventually. Now, if you really are stuck, chances are you belong there.
