Elo Hell does exsist

[Charmander787]

Ronan has a point
Why is ELO Hell still a thing in SMITE when its basically nothing but biased blame on Matchmaking, instead of actually giving helpful feedback once in a while.
Imbalance can always exist, if the ELO system is so bad, atleast give some hints on how to fix it.

I feel like one of the ways to fix this system is to make TP game more radical; getting in the low teens is just insufficient. Players dont feel like the mode really matters and they dont feel progression (Whether negative or positive) really happening. And then players just drop the mode. Why play this mode when it really doesnt match my rank when I can go grind on casual conq and improve my SGS (Yes I know people dont think SGS is accurate for skill but is our ranking system accurate?)

It isn't if basically everyone just complain without rating the system itself, you know that thing that sometimes appears at the end of the match so you can rate matchmaking? You know basically no one takes the time to write about it?

Theres a thing where they ask you about matchmaking?

I have only seen the ones that ask you if you have had fun in the match

Ironically, those only appear whenever we get smashed or we smash.

With luck i didnt get 75% winrate in Ranked Conquest from Bronze to Diamond with luck i am not outplaying my opponents with luck i dont do good shotcalls and i could continue like that but i wont but you get the idea

The problem isn't the player it's the team. This isn't League of Legends or DotA. You can't just solo carry in SMITE unless you play very specific gods or the enemy team is simply that bad. I have lost countless games cause of terrible teammates. They only feed and never listen to calls even from a player who is clearly above them in skill.

Last night I played my first game in like almost a month. I played Loki jungle and had a weird but useful team comp. So what happened? My Rama was shit in Duo and Anoobis was dying in solo. Riajin was bitching in mid about me helping when I was holding lane for solo so he didn't lose 70% of his tower hp.

However the difference between the usual noobs and these guys. They actually listened to what I said and if I came to gank they helped. so what happened that match? We won. I ended with more kills then our entire team combined cause they actually worked with me to fight at the right times. Now this proves Elo Hell exists when you can have a good player lose games and then the one time I get good players I do insanely well...

Tell me how elo hell does not exist?
This match Izanami on the enemy team was afk for at least 10 minutes total. Me being the nice player I was let her farm until she was a decent level while I killed her entire team. She was essentially useless for the rest of the game, but despite how well I was doing and their afk my team still managed to feed their brains out so hard that I couldn't carry them. I demoted from goddamn plat 5 to gold 4 in 3 days and then I worked my way up to gold 1 again in 2 days and now I am back to demoting to gold 4 in the span of 2 days. This is truly ridiculous. Every match I get at least 2 people that either leave or troll. The premades do this the most. Just stop letting people go premade in ranked please.

Are you implying that part of elo hell is the matchmaker has the ability to single you out and put asshole leavers on your team?

Knew it. Proof of aliens right there.
