I WILL get downvoted for saying this, but...

The reason you can't hit diamond this season is not because of dynamic queue.

I hate dynamic queue. Dynamic queue is actually terrible, and it is ruining ranked play.

However, there is one thing i hate more than dynamic queue and that is people making absolute bullshit excuses as to why they can't reach a certain rank. The only valid excuse is because you are actually busy with your life and don't have the time to invest in ranked to make the honest go at a higher rating.

I'm sick and tired of people saying 'I would be higher rank, but my team sucks/better premade always wins/dynamic queue/rito is rigging the system'. Get over yourself. God damn. I was d1 and my main got nerfed and now im d5. Am I d5 because my main got nerfed? Hell no. I've been playing like a retard and i've lost a lion's share of games due to horrible decisions made by me. That's what causes you to lose games. Shitty decisions.

The fact is: if you are deserving of a higher elo, and you play a lot of games, you will get there. Absolutely nothing will stop you. Not shitty teammayes, not dynamic queue, and not riot games. You are the only common factor in all of your games.
