@Diamond Players, Is Diamond really the worst tier to be in?

I keep hearing from various Diamond players that Diamond is filled with probably more trolls and afkers and rage quitters than the others, as their explanations are usually, "I've made it to Diamond, so I just don't care anymore about anything." Where as the other tiers, people are actually trying to reach Diamond so they actually do care what happens.

Some have said that Diamond is the worst rank to climb in as it has the most consecutive toxicity of all the rankings.

So my question to the Diamond players. Do you experience this a lot? And would you say that Diamond is the worst tier to climb?

Diamond is by far the worst division to SOLOcarry. Only quality game you gonna get in diamond is after you reach diamond 3-2-1 Diamond 5-4 is legit unplayable. Everytime i smurf i can clearly tell when i'm in diamond 4 mmr since everyone is automaticly gonan become cocky duchebags who only care about themselves and dont respect other players and they think they are always good and sht. I mean when i played on euw i got people in diamond 4 when i was plat 3 and i had 80% win ratio and they were like gg noob plat 3 jungler we lost and shit like that even tho i carried them they showed no respect to their fellow teammate. ALso they give up faster than Bolt completes the 100metres sprint lmfao. I personally always end up chatbanned when i hit diamond mmr can't help it they trigger me insanely. Silver and gold are easy as fuck to carry all you gotta do is farm well and you gonna be stronger than everyone. By the time a gold jungler is lvl 11 i'm 18 in gold level games and i'm not even that great of a player i'm a tilting pile of trash

Every league is the same, if you think that people think it is enough that you reached Diamond, than you have probably never done that. People are greedy, they always want more No matter if they managed to finally gain Gold, Diamond or even challenger, there is always something more to do.

Imo every league is the same hard to climb, there is only difference in skill, that is the only problem, not people attitude.

I would put an honest argument that Platinum and low Diamond are the worst. A lot of people get their accounts banned, or they make a smurf, and then their accounts end up in this rating. It makes climbing through that really, really difficult, since a lot of games end with an AFK / feeding / people doing dumb shit on smurfs. I spent a lot of time around Platinum II, and I'd go on fifteen game win streaks, but when I reached my D5 promotionals, I ended up going even because of the ridiculous amount of variance.

Lol, coming from a Diamond player, D5 is absolute hell.

Trust me, I've climbed in every ladder, and D5 truly is the worst. I always thought boosted people were a myth, even in Platinum. But in Diamond, the myth becomes a reality.

D4 is a bit better though, still get some boosted people occasionally though.

Fragile egos exist very rampantly in Diamond as well...

silver is by far the worst if ur skill level is the same or bit better

of course its easier for people who are better then silver players like maybe plat 3 and up \

but silver just sucks so bad

Silver. Easily. In bronze I had fewer trolls, int feeders and toxic players. And I watch my buddie play gold and Diamond+ streamers silver is easily the worst.
