Enough is enough, player quality at Diamond V needs to be fixed

It's overflowing with handicapped monkeys who have no decision making skill, but are still able to win games because everyone else is a handicapped monkey with no decision making skill.

Basically 4/5 players just spend the entire game making risky/stupid plays, and hoping they pay off. If they fall behind, they cannot function and just AFK feed, while continuing to make risky plays that have virtually no chance of succeeding, because they don't know how to do anything else. If their play pays off, they get ahead and repeat the risky plays, with a much higher chance of success.

These players have no concept of playing safely, making decisions based on team composition/scaling, or making any decisions beyond 'should I all-in now or later.'

Every time I queue for ranked, I have to cross my fingers and hope my handicapped monkeys' risky plays are more successful than the enemy monkeys' risky plays. If I wanted to play a game where I roll dice to see who wins, I'd be playing Yahtzee.

This isn't at all fun. Every game that isn't a win (because my monkeys are stomping the enemy monkeys) feels like a hopeless waste of time. Even though I'm ahead and winning my lane, I can't compensate for the monkeys; I can help them catch up at the cost of my lane, but they'll still continue making retarded decisions.

Stop rewarding big LC$ plays and bring back some reward for consistently playing well and making intelligent decisions, or give us tools to flag these terrible players who don't have decision making skill.

anything V is going to be the same for the most part

Dynamic queue boosts some people and enables others who actually deserve to rise. Part of why this doesn't work out is because of the alternative ranking system on top of the actual ranking system we can't even see.

Need to get rid of the safety net at least beyond gold or something

Funny. This sounds like silver.
