This elo has been seen as the hardest trial to beat to get into freedom of challenger for years. But, why is it so hard :thonk:? I personally cannot find the answer, I have spent my time effortlessly trying to think of the reason why, while listening to Indiana jones music. The answer I have come up with is, remove this damn rank. There is way too many shiid players in here. I am one of them. there is a proud feeling when you finally get that blue emblem, the diamond ranking. but once you spend 4 games in here you realise oh wait, I don't like it here. ive gotta climb asap, in your desperation you find other desperate players, trolls, toxic people who want to fk around and the GODS. I find that riot does a good job mixing the bad players and the good players together, however they don't do a good job mixing the tilted players, the first game of the day players and the one tricks. The meta in Diamond 5 atm is, Ap Tryndamere and people desperately playing teamfight champions top. w/e tf u want jg because they have miniscule impact, often the game deciders. Mid play assassin im not sure if they exist. Bot play LCS stuff and get first tower every damn time then rotate and often win.

Now heres my problem, I don't know how to carry as a top lane player, should I just role swap?

I mean, I think the entirety of Diamond is just aids. I climbed out of D5 really fast. got to D3 promos, lost cause of inters, and went back to D5. This cycle repeated around 3 times, Always inters during the promos, alas I flamed these inters and got perma banned. The issue is, Promos are a coin flip of 'who has the inter' in Diamond, I encountered more people who intentionally fed in Diamond than when I was in Gold or Platinum.
