These players really need to be removed from Diamond

Just enjoyed a waste of 45 minutes, where our ADC and APC each refused to group. We were up 18 kills at 25 minutes, and the jungle and I are trying to get them to group and end the game.

They flat out refuse/don't respond. They spend the next 20 minutes running around and getting picked off. Between the two of them, they died 12 times between the point where we tried to get them to group and the end of the game.

These players shouldn't be in Diamond. It's pretty sad that it's degraded to this point.

Is this what I have to look forward to in low diamond-mid diamond? Does not sound like fun.

It's complete garbage. I'm stuck at Diamond V after having been Diamond I in every season, and most of the Diamond I/Master/Challengers on my friends list are in the same spot.

It's like someone bombed Diamond V with random Gold players, so whichever team happens to get more of them loses.

Remind me to throw every series into D5 then, P1 sounds better.

Exhibit A: My current team is three Diamonds and two Golds. Enemy team is two Challengers, two Diamonds, and a Platinum.

No offense, but it seems that your opinion of "diamond" is higher than it really should be. Many people in plat and even Gold could be Diamond players just by putting in more games. All except maybe one of my IRL friends that are Diamond simply got it by playing hundreds of games. If you have a +50% win rate you'll get there eventually. People who refuse to group, are bad mechanically or simply disagree with their team mates on how to play a game is not a low elo thing. Those are present at all elos, just like toxic players are.

This is only a problem that started during season 4.

I just had a Vi rush Warmogs while we already had a tank. Against two BotRK and a Liandry.
