Escape from EloHello has me reliving my worst online PvP nightmares in roguelike-form

Rich Fulop has been stuck in the frustrating cycle of elo hell for years, only to find himself in elo heaven. He craves the thrill of reaching rank 1 without the toxic teammates or lengthy games. Escape from EloHell offers a solution by forcing players to climb the ladder from Iron 4 to Challenger in just 60 matches. The game is a roguelike, meaning players must gamble on their ability to win matches to gain effects that will help them in the long run.

Richard Fulop managed to climb to Silver 1 after multiple attempts, but finds the experience almost too realistic, with frequent setbacks that mirror the struggle of escaping elo hell.
