Am I cheap for cheesing the Season Rewards?

Long story short I was Gold 3 last season and midway through this season I transferred from NA to LAN because 55ping > 120ping. Mid Gold was my elo hell in NA as most games were struggles. But after transferring to LAN I swiftly climbed from Gold to Plat in just 1 week and then 3 weeks later hit Diamond.

My first 5 games in Diamond 5 were losses; my MMR tanked hard, won 2 games after that then lost 1 game and now I'm sitting at 17lp. I'm too scared to play anymore games and risk demotion so close to end of season, so I'm just going to try and play the system by playing 1 ranked game every 25 days to reset decay. With the new server transfers in NA my ping is solid at 80 so I plan on transferring back when season ends with my lovely diamond border.

No. Sitting there for the rewards is perfectly fine. You earned it and deserved it.

The only thing I have a problem with is if you went around boasting about being Diamond if you know very well that it's barely true. There's this guy that flames anyone below Diamond on the forums every time he logs in, but he's at 0 LP D5 and is only playing every 6 days to avoid demotion. Don't be him.

Bad person is probably overstating but I would say yeah its pretty cheap. Taking a knee and wainting for the end of the season is no big deal imo, but purposefully hanging around on LAN to get diamond there with the intention of transfer back with it is pretty lame. Honestly they should probably remove boarders when transferring, but it is what it is. If you are fine with the asterisk then there's not any reason to care, no one else is really gonna know.

Nah, you got to Diamond on your own. Seem like a good idea to me.
