Why are there so many S8 Gold players with 55%+ win rate in Diamond IV?

How did this happen?

It's not even people who were spamming games at the start of the season, because their win rate is abnormally high, but they are playing like they belong in Gold.

I'm legitimately encountering multiple opponents who are losing 50-60% of their health to turret shots while trying to trade with me at level 3/4.

They made diamond easier to get to this season. Currently, top 3% of the playerbase is in diamond or above which is much higher than same time last year. Probably has something to do with grandmasters being the new masters which in turn pushes everything down. Just think of diamond this year as plat last year, you will see a few lucky gold players who get on a hot streak and show up every now and again.
