Diamond 5
Someone should look at how PLat 1 has 9,000 people, Diamond 5 has 18,000 people, and Diamond 4 has 5,600 people. Something fishy is going on in D5...

And where is the fishy part? - How much people are in Plat 5 and how much in Gold 1?
League-System has a few peculiarities which cause exaxtly these numbers - nothing special if you ask me. ^^
Each rank going up has less people in it then the last, or pretty close. Except for D5.
Oh that's interesting - didn't expect that.
Because of the high safety and the achievment a new League offers - I expected alot more people in every X5 - Those who draw profit from the demote protection and those who simply stop playing to get the season reward. ^^
its not just D5, its in all tiers, silver 5, gold 5, plat 5, people get through the last and get stuck
It has (but not only) to do with the promotion system, it breaks the linearity and adds an hysteresis which is known to be bad on matchmakers.
I ranked to diamond 4 and stopped just to avoid any fishy accusations.
It also has to do with the fact that a lot of people shoot for diamond then stop because they reached their goal.
Also a lot of people get boosted to diamond
