Having climb the ranks solo queue from SILVER to PLAT I can tell you from experience that Elo hell does exist.

I am now PLAT 3 and the toughest time throughout my journey was getting hard stuck on the ranks GOLD 2-3 particularly,

Where you are met with players who are either;

A)cracked with god like aim

B)No game sense

C)Very good game sense

D)Shit aim

These sums up the whole GOLD rank as a whole, just a bunch of mixtures of players, which causes the games having a 50/50 win-rate.

During my time in GOLD 3 especially, It didn't really matter how much I do. If you get good teammates you'll just win and if you get bad teammates you just get wrecked 13-2.

Some people might say "oh you're just not good enough", that is only partially true. I'm a normal human being, as cracked as I can be it is impossible to "carry" a team unless the enemy is just bad.

How many 1v3 1v4 1v5 trades can you make in 26 rounds? because that's the most realistic way to "carry" your team, just trade more and pray that your teammates finish the job.

After getting out of GOLD at last, PLAT was just smooth sailing.

I'm currently on a 11 win streak and I'm just having a much better time, because players here all have above average aim, paired with good game sense.

If I lost a match here I can accept defeat because most games are paired with equally matched players, with the only deciding factor being impactful plays by players who step up to take the round.

But in GOLD, you are met with baiters, instant lock duelists, aggressive CT players who die within 10 sec of the start of the round or the teammate that has no coms.

So if you are stuck in GOLD, I pray for you.

Make friends along the way to queue with, they do not have to be cracked just an average player is always better than the instant lock Jett/Reyna in solo queue.

With that said just have fun and focus on yourself even when you want to rage and be toxic, just know that it changes nothing but destroy you and your teams morale.

I have never experienced such bullshit in my life
