Do you like math? Check out this thread where Paul posted the Elo formulas.
Yeah, read that when it came out. So it seems i'm up to date...

This is what the LoL community calls "elo hell", however, it shouldn't really be possible to consistently lose >50% of your matches if your skill level is above average in your league, so most people complaining about elo hell actually suffer from an inflated sense of their own skills or a too low sample size.
Yes, of course, you should, in theory, have a w/l > 50% if you're better than average. How much influence a single player can have depends highly on the numbers. That we don't really know. Also, there's the problem of diminishing returns...
