Congratulation, Diamond has devolved to the point that individual skill is 100% irrelevant

I have not had a single close game this season. Every single game is a complete stomp by 10-15 minutes, as one team has more retarded monkeys laned against fully functional human beings.

The state of Diamond is so fucking bad right now that I can win my lane, babysit another lane and catch the handicapped player up, and that player will still continue to feed because they're so horribly out-skilled.

This is fucking stupid. There should not be this much skill discrepancy anywhere on the ladder. Just replace the entire game with a dice roll, the outcome will be pretty much the same.

Nope, Dynamic Queue has lowered toxicity as Riot decreed.

Clearly you must be mistaken. Now continue buying skins and worshiping LCS, or Overlord Tencent may become displeased.

Here's the problem with Diamond right now: First off, boosters. It's so much easier to boost a player using Dynamic Queue. You may notice if you look (I actually haven't looked) that the boosting industry's profits have gone through the roof this season. Second, Challenger players. Challenger players sit in queue for over an hour, only to find games that last 20 minutes because their opponents are mid-high Diamond and it's just a stomp. Pants Are Dragon complains about this a lot in his Challenger to Rank One series. If he isn't matched with/against pros who are also playing ranked and streaming at the same time, he's matched with/against Diamond players who are then stomped into the dust because it takes so long to find a game that it allows players who are that far below him into his games.

Riot has already implemented a return of Solo Queue for the players higher on the ladder, and hopefully they will be able to reduce queue times for you guys. I'll just go back to sitting in Bronze, practicing my ADC mechanics because I already know a lot about the game.
