Why isn't skill discrepency in ranked being dealt with?

I can't tell the difference between games on my Silver account or my Diamond account, at the moment.

The quality of games at Diamond and above has been consistently degrading over every single season, and nothing has been done to intervene.

This is not okay.

Just because you've noticed no difference does not mean Riot is doing nothing. Use a little logic.

I've been playing since before solo queue existed, and have been Diamond/Platinum before Diamond every season. Nothing is being done, period. If something is being done, show evidence, otherwise the quota (i.e. nothing being done) is being kept.

Evidence from a reputable source or you're using opinion as fact.

'Show me evidence that they're doing nothing!'

Maybe stop posting and work on getting out of Bronze.

Maybe you should stop getting mad when you're making absolute statements based on nothing and get called out on it.

Also try looking up ranks before you insult people for no reason, that way you can make a proper insult.

Might have something to do with more and more people being willing to pay for getting their accounts boosted.

Let me paraphrase Riot's responses to these questions and comments for the past 2 years for you, to save time. cough cough

Something something the system is working as designed something something hidden mmr something something we know we're not wrong because we have people that do math something something.

All in all, even though a large portion of the community has explained how our entire system is faulted and unfair, no one cares enough to make a change. Like, the fact that we're okay with "you get slotted against people with the same hidden MMR as you have, and not by ranking" should tell you all you have to know about the intention of this system. It's not about climbing or falling, it's about making people want to keep playing.
