When is something going to be done to normalize skill level around Diamond V?

Pretty sure flex queue was supposed to be the 'solution' to this, but that game mode is an unplayable cluster fuck.

When is something going to be done to address the skill discrepancy at Diamond V? It feels like every game is like rolling dice right now, primarily thanks to everyone who was boosted by dynamic queue last season.

It wasn't rolling dice for the Kha main that was just in my game.

Nothing needs to be done. This is the beginning of the season clusterfuck that always happens. Since plat 1 is the highest you can possibly be placed, everyone who was diamond, master, or challenger last year is probably in your games right now. If you don't like it, I suggest not playing ranked for another month.

I've been playing since season 1, why are you even posting this? It has nothing to do with the beginning of the season, it has everything to do with trash players being boosted last season.

So have I and they'll eventually sort themselves out. Everyone will get to the rating they belong within the next month.

Yeah but he's talking specifically about the diamond 5 area.

You were Silver your last 2 seasons, what do you know about the MMR hes talking about?

What do I know about the MMR he's talking about? Well, I know about as much as I can glean from watching high-tier YouTubers (Platinum 1 is the highest rating you can get in your placements) and what logic and common sense I have (everyone who was above Platinum 1 is likely to get placed in Platinum and is going to be squished together for a couple of weeks until everyone who is supposed to be higher climbs to where they should be and everyone who was boosted higher than they should be falls back down to where they should be). I mean, that's something that's rather obvious if you have the slightest bit of a brain.

What would you like them to do exactly?

Including performance based on ratings + the first N deaths would be a good start, because 9/10 of these players are feast or famine.
