Diamond should be more easily accessible for the casual player(To reduce toxicity)

The number 1 reason why flaming occurs:

TIME!

Yes, We get frustrated because we know we have to grind over and over and over again and i cannot blame anyone getting frustrated from this, We do not want to waste hours upon hours of our life getting to get to a certain level. It should not become a full time job for most of us to get to Diamond, Gaming is something that most of us can afford to do 2-3 hours at most on a given day, All of the Diamond players i know are literally glued to this game, High Diamonds are basically Pros and the difference between low diamond and high diamond is like night and day.

Here is my idea for a new level:

There is:

Challenger

Master

the next one should be: Apprentice: Which includes all players between Diamond 1 to Diamond 3.

New Diamond is compiled from current: D4,D5,P1,P2,P3 players.

New Platinum is compiled from current: P4,P5,G1,G2,G3 players.

New Gold is compiled from current: G4,G5,S1,S2,S3 players.

New Silver is compiled from current: S4,S5,B1,B2,B3 players.

Bronze should either be compiled from only : B4 and B5 players(Which lets be honest, These are the players that have no idea what they are doing, B3 and up are actually ok) or Bronze should be completely removed and everyone transfered to Silver.

This would make everyone happier.

It should be hard to get into the top 1% of players.

If Diamond just became gold, then it wont become much of an achievement.

You didn't even read post and fail to see the point, Have a nice day.

? it still applies.

you basically think everything should be down a notch, but when you might plat 5 = gold 3, people care less about that rank

"This would make everyone happier" No it wouldn't. It would basically mean that ranks that were actually achieved by people who put the time into null and void, and having it just handed to the little shitter that plays quinn adc is just ridiculous.

D4+ players are not fantastic, how would you even know that? being gold 5 yourself? If some gold monkey just randomly gets diamond because of some change, it defeats the purpose of actually achieving it. You say that people don't have the time to climb it. Ok, and that's the point of the ranks, the better players that invest more time to achieve it, will achieve that rank. Some gold 5 player with a negative win rate that wants a free pass to a higher rank because he "doesn't have time to play" is absolutely ridiculous. I have less games played than you do, and i'm sitting at d4 19lp. So maybe instead of complaining about it on forums, try focusing on improving.

I don't see why the OP's suggestion bothers you so much. He said that from talking to diamond players his understanding is that there is a huge skill gap between low diamond and high diamond so he is suggesting give those people who are currently high diamond a more distinguished ranking to better recognize their achievement.

I guess the topic title doesn't come off that way. personally I think it would make diamond the new plat, plat the new gold, and gold the new silver. So whatever it would be all the same.

Actually kind of a neat idea, but "apprentice" doesn't sound like somebody who's been grinding out ungodly amounts of games.
