What is being done to fix Diamond V?
I've been Diamond I in every season, Diamond before there were divisions, and Platinum before there was Diamond. This season, I can not get past Diamond V without an absurd amount of luck. Skill is completely removed as a factor in the outcome of the game.
It's like a brick wall. After having just decayed to Plat V, I came back and went 16-3, back to Diamond V rating. As soon as I reached that point, I started consistently getting hit in the face by players who are raging and have ridiculous scores like 1-10-2.
One-champion wonders. If they don't get that one champion, they play at a Silver level and AFK feed.
People who rely on cheese to function. They try to snowball off of an early all-in. If they get ganked before it happens or their all-in fails, they can't function and just AFK feed, because they need the gold advantage to compensate for their lack of skill and bad decision making.
People who were boosted. I get someone who is being boosted to Diamond V in probably 1/10 games right now. God knows how many were already boosted.
People who give up if they're down a kill. They don't know how to play safely, so they start spamming 'gg' and dying more.
People who have a small champion pool. They pick their champion with zero regard for whether or not their champion is hard countered or has any synergy with the team, which doesn't work here, no matter how good you are with a champion.
People who are 'on tilt.' As they walk directly into the entire enemy team and then type 'xd im on tilt.' They shouldn't be in ranked, period. If they've realized they're playing poorly and won't be defensive to prevent feeding, there's a problem.
People who didn't learn how to make good decisions. Particularly people who main champions with resets. Similar to the ones who rely on cheese to function, but slightly worse. They can be 10-0 and still throw games.
All of these types of players need to be addressed. They shouldn't be rewarded for playing like this, and Diamond V shouldn't have been allowed to become the clusterfuck it is right now, with the outcome of the game coming down almost exclusively to the worst player(s).
