Elo hell is essentially the elo range where you'll see people spam bad teams, gimmicks, bad Pokemon and other things. This is a range where you may breeze through to get to mid ladder and start seeing normal teams or your team could struggle due to building around meta and a random gimmick you'd never see causes you problems. This range depends on the tier and so does average elo. 1700 in OU is basically a good indication you're starting to hit high ladder. While 1700 in Nat Dex is about their top 100 range.

I should add also that elo isn't everything. If you play enough you can brute force to higher elo because your gxe could be at 50% and placing you against worst people. Try to aim for at least 70%.

Should Elo take into account RNG at all?
Seems kind of unfair that you’ll get the same amount of Elo if you win by being insanely lucky or losing because you were insanely unlucky.

You mean
>if your opponent doesn't know what they're doing how are you supposed to know what they're doing
because if so yeah that means you're basically doing educated coinflips all game which isn't that engaging

>1600
is this supposed to be an accomplishment?
1600 is where people stop using meme shit, but they still don't know how to play at all.
1700 is where basic competency starts.

I had multiple accounts above 1700 and ppl were still using gimmicky shit and playing like garbage, only winning because of hax or pure matchup, ladder is not a good indicator of skill

If you have to make guess against an opponent who doesn’t know what they are doing, you clearly aren’t doing something right.
This is why you need to build teams that get you out of Elo hell. Typically it’s a Stall team or some HO team. Both mitigate the effect of an opponent just whipping out something like Merciless Toxapex with a surprise Ice Beam.

Seriously I swear I've added at least 5 words to their auto filter for names on showdown. The latest one was castration. I just can't stop myself.

It’s funny that Smogon has a merit based voting system while supporting BLM. Imagine even suggesting a country have a merit based voting system, and all of BLM would flip their shit over it.
