I just love when the enemy Diamond solo laner is matched to lane against our Silver

Diamond vs Silver in a solo lane? Are you serious RIOT? It is bad enough if they are in one of the 2 bot roles, that at least is somewhat manageable, especially if their lane partner is not as good as them, but a solo lane with that much level gap is insanely one-sided. You likely just gave the diamond player a free lane unless the Silver's Jungler camps their ass, which is not really helpful to any other lanes who might need a gank or 2 as well. If you are gonna have a diamond player on a team, please try to place them against a platinum at least (another diamond is preferred though).
