Diamond V has been an unplayable clusterfuck for 90% of this season. What is being done to fix this?

Playing ranked at Diamond V has been a fucking terribly experience for the entire season. I've mained jungle at high Diamond in the past two seasons, and after starting this season late, I literally could not stand to play it because I was consistently having all three of my lanes die (or vice versa) before I finish my second buff more often than not.

1/3 of all games at Diamond V have been completely decided before the 10 minute mark with every lane being outplayed and dying repeatedly. Another 1/3 games are decided in the lobby, often entirely due to poor team composition because most players at Diamond V are one trick ponies who only play a single champion.

This is not fun. It's like rolling dice to see who wins, because the skill levels are all over the board. What is being done to improve this in the next season?

Not really. At lower ratings, the skill discrepancy is less of a problem. Even in past seasons, it hasn't been nearly as bad as it is now. Dynamic queue allowing easy boosting completely fucked things up.

Well there will now be a separate queue for solo/duo again plus Diamond gets flushed out every season. It's impossible to get placed above plat from your placements, even if you were rank 1 challenger last season

Diamond does not get flushed out, everyone will go back to roughly where they were. It's not like the bad Diamond V players magically get thrown out of Diamond V. They're still going to be infecting everyones' games.

only idea i got. granted, it probably wont help much for higher elo. i just feel mmr isnt enough to judge teams... and this isnt possible. so yeah. hope for less boosters this next season =p

Riot's doing a hard reset of everyone's elo. So no more dynamic boosted diamonds.
