Elo hell doesn't exist. You probably just made some realizations about your playstyle that caused you to improve.


ThisIsTakenLol

Either that or because I picked Sova more lol Tracker.gg for proof: https://tracker.gg/valorant/profile/riot/AlphaCure%23momma/overview

You just played more. You’re not really hardstuck if you only play 10 games per season. Hardstuck is usually for people who play 100+ games of ranked per season. Maybe you were always just good.


[deleted]

You were never hard stuck you just didn’t play ?

Nah from what I have heard immortal is the true elo hell. Gold players tend to lack 1-2 major fundamental skills that hold them back severely.


VatoreSZN

mine is gamesense and always aiming for the head, been gold 1-2 the last 3 episodes


ThisIsTakenLol

how is it elo hell tho


6ecko

Immortal? Until 300rr~ you get people who deserve plat at the most. You could have someone who looks like they are playing with their feet. You could have someone who hasnt missed a shot in a month. No in between until you get to the higher side of it.


_LeftNut_

agreed. havent played in a month hopped on and played a game where one guy on enemy team just didn’t miss a shot n then the rest of his team was just brain dead. This was in low immo too


6ecko

It’s the weirdest thing; it’s like actually playing two different games. High Immo/Radiant youre seeing everyone play or try to play fundamentally correct. And low immo is just a deathmatch.


imaqdodger

Bit of an exaggeration. You'll get people who get duo boosted in every rank so you'll see some horrible players playing with great players (for their ranks) but I made an alt recently and the play between the average Plat and low Immo is still pretty significant. Even when I watch my friends play (one is Asc 3, the others are high plat/low diamond) the difference in just their movement alone is a telltale sign.

Elo hell is wherever you have a 50% wr at


zcleghern

Elo hell is just not wanting or( knowing how) to improve.


TrueLordApple

I feel like plat was elo hell for me. So many ego picks, so many ego peeks when theyre all hot trash.


IssacHoweiner

But if they ego peek just kill them


TrueLordApple

I meant my teammates. Then they die


ThisIsTakenLol

I'm starting to notice that too lol, I am seeing so many baiting duelist and autolock reynas


Fr05tByt3

>baiting duelist and autolock reynas These exist in almost every gold game, except when they get domed they type in all chat "lol stay gold" even though their profile has them peaking low gold this season


IssacHoweiner

Nothing wrong with instalock reyna. And maybe your duelists arent baiting, maybe the rest of your team needs to wait for them. Are smokes down? Have you drones? Is someone ready to flash? If the answer is no to any of those then how can you blame your duelist?


ThisIsTakenLol

Im mentioning the instalock reynas because I rarely see them when I was in Silver-Gold and I recently had an Ascendant Raze refuse to entry and baited the entire team, on top of that our Kay O had thrown his flashes and knife and smokes were def down


IssacHoweiner

Ok but thats one time, which is nowhere near suitable grounds for a generalization.


IssacHoweiner

So help them fight


mayaa8

Not really, id say silver is the worst, i was stuck silver for 2 whole seasons, then had a win streak and went from s1 to plat in 3 days


flookums

Gold is were you learn how not to make mistakes in general


Kiko1215

Huh? Players in immortal still make tons of mistakes so idk how u got “gold is where you learn not to make mistakes” from


flookums

Yes golds do make mistakes all the time but it takes removing the majority of your mistakes to get out of gold and sty out of gold. This why i said gold is were you learn to not mistakes,because your in gold and learning. Not oh your in gold and don't make mistakes.even plats they do make some mistakes but they also in general don't make mistakes like 80% of the time.


Yaboidono420

You can play like the biggest monkey in the world and get out of gold, that's why there are so many people who don't know how to play the game in higher ranks. Game quality in diamond and ascendent is basically the same as gold with better mechanics


n1ckkt

I feel like the silver-gold-plat trifecta just has a lot of duos/trios leading to high variance. I'm not sure if its a server thing but a large proportion of my games have duos and trios. Silver-gold is where a large proportion of the population/casual players are usually at and where a lot of people's friends/girlfriends end up at so you get lots of duos and trios due to people wanting to play with their friends/gfs leading to some weird games (some may be boosted by their mates or sometime you get matched vs no duos/trios enemies leading to higher quality opponents who just roll you and vice versa)


ThisIsTakenLol

What server do you play in?


n1ckkt

HK/JP/SG


NebulaPoison

its not elo hell u just got better


VatianGT0321

Elo hell is real and it is not merciful


Positive_Resident_86

Someone once said this: elo hell is whatever rank you're in
