I just started to play league. I've heard a lot that players in league knows what they do and so on. After a few games I can say its only slightly better than casual conquest (in bronze ofc).

Most people don't know anything about wards, they're making strange picks, they ban strange gods. And the worst thing - communication in lobby. It really sucks! It's really frustrating especially after hearing that league is so great. Main good thing about this is that there are less trolls than in casual.

Bronze league is no different from casual games. You might realise it's usually the blatantly ignorant people that suck and lack communication. Any well communicated and intelligent fella will admit he plays poorly, either opnely or only to himself, he will stick to casual until he knows he's good enough.

Bronze league is no different from casual because the ignorant baddies will venture both sides, probably on whatever time queue is lowest. They don't really realise they suck and/or they don't blame themselves. So they go bronze, but are unlikely to make it into silver.

So just fight your way trough it, and pray that you get good teammates.

Silver will be better.
That's just my 2 cents.

This may not be related, but even Silver 1 in LoL has its fair share of trolls and bad players. Since Smite has an even smaller playerbase, and Platinum is completely empty, you will probably have bad matches for a while.

Or in other words: There is no hope for you, mortal. All will burn in Elo hell.

What to do when you are in "elo hel":

Go jungle and pick Fenrir, Arachne or Mercury and carry games, get elo and get queued with higher elo players :)

Edit: You are always more likely to get a team that is better than the opposite team, because you only get 4 random scrubs and the enemy got 5 random scrubs :P

When in elo hell you don't pick gods, insta-lockers pick gods for you.
or eh, pick bad compositions since we're talking draft pick.
That's just my 2 cents.

Solo queue is all about the gods that can carry games. Comp doesn't have that much impact on the game (ofc you need a kind of normal setup with a adc, support, mid and solo :P


Just learn to play the most op god and carry your way out of the "elo hel" :)


Edit: When you get to higher elo games you should calm your bacon though, and try to learn and listen to your playcaller etc

That's the problem with the elo hell described by OP though, it's the wonky team comps that mess it up. But yea, picking strong carries would be the way to go regardless. Playing a great support is like polishing a turd in OP's situation.
That's just my 2 cents.

Give the system like 5-10 seasons and it will be pretty evened out with bads and new players in bronze (new players just have to carry the bads), mediocre players and trolls in silver, decent players in gold etc etc

Just have to keep on smiting and get those win-streaks in league :P

Whelp, I still need 16 more levels before I can go league though.

In the old ranked system I played a lot of support, and then I lost like 500-1000 elo in one day (yes that was a sad sad day). And I just wasn't really good at other roles, but it killed me to see my adc miss like 5 autos on ppl with 2 hp left while I was doing everything I could (tanking tower, bodyblocking the enemy so he couldn't move etc).

So I started going Bacchus and Sobek and just roaming and invadeing making chaos, it was fun and work kind of, it was a lot better than getting killed by my ****py *** adc at least :P

SmiteFire & Smite

Smite is an online battleground between mythical gods. Players choose from a selection of gods, join session-based arena combat and use custom powers and team tactics against other players and minions. Smite is inspired by Defense of the Ancients (DotA) but instead of being above the action, the third-person camera brings you right into the combat. And, instead of clicking a map, you use WASD to move, dodge, and fight your way through the detailed graphics of SMITE's battlegrounds.
