Diamond games are literally unplayable right now

WInning or losing these games purely is purely influenced on which team has more premades and smurfs, nothing else matters. I as a long time diamond solo support, has never felt so hard to play a ranked game ever

Diamond smurfs? What? What are they smurfing from? Challenger? That's like telling your bronze teammates while you play on your smurf. "Don't worry guys, my main is silver 4, I can carry!"

You mean you don't like getting bumfucked by a 4man premade gank on bot lane ? Woah dude, I don't think riot could've predicted that, it's our fault that we didn't speak out before dynamic or during these 6 months of it.

lel kek xd

I've had the opposite experience. This weekend alone I did some grinding and made it from d3 into my promos for d1 as a solo support. Usually the matches have been pretty equal

Once you are in Diamond, you are HIGH ELO, so you are supposed to be OK vs Master and Chall...

We can say the smurfs are a problem in low Elo, coz there is a HUGE skills gap between bronze and diamond BUT, Diamond 5 vs Master/Chall is acceptable!

oh so it's not ''literally'' unplayable? here I thought there was a bug preventing you from playing the game at all once you reached diamond but it seems that's not the case.

Winning or losing has always been based on which team is/plays better, right? It doesn't make any difference if it's a game of premades or not.

Also, people must forget that 95% of the games both sides has similar premade group sizes... So actually there is no big problem, you just want to find more reasons why you're stuck in that elo just like last season. For me, season 6 has been the easiest season so far and it's because training still matters.

didn't they limit the amount of people who can queue together in diamond to 2-3 though?

in fact I've seen several threads saying diamond+ is now the best elo to play in now because of this. guess that just means everything else is just that bad huh?

maybe it's time rito admits their mistake and brings it down to 1-2 player queues across the board...as if that'll happen or something lol

Honestly coming from a couple of diamond account you can op.gg IGN: Nakey Gabey it doesnt seem that hard to climb i play with my other friend and i have gone against 3 man premades but when people 3 man it highers the mmr of the other team to balance out for coms etc it does this for duo q to. Maybe im just really lucky but i also play solo and it honestly doesnt seem that hard to carry.

Your usage of "literally" triggers me harder than DQ ever will.

Same here.

Dynamic queue has made support unplayable.
