Diamond players giving up in games

Alright, so I climbed allllll the way from low gold to plat1, and I've been playing with diamond players for a few days now.

And wow is all I can say. In my experience a lot of these diamond players are SO TOXIC it's insane, they give up at 5 minutes into the game and spam "go next" in all chat. They act like such babies, like they never won a game in which they were behind early game.

Did anyone else notice this? Why do you think diamond players in particular are this toxic, and give up this early into games?

It's incredibly frustrating to play with them...

also I just reported an afk player ingame and in the first time in months I got the message from riot saying "a penalty was issued for the player" yay!

Usually, plat and low diamond are the most toxic elos of all elos. Even 1 death and someone can ragequit. I have friends in those elos and they hate being there...all the more reason to not bother climbing (don't deserve them anyway).

All in all...it's just an overload of ego I guess.

Climbed from silver to plat 3 and I'm plat 4 now simply because of intentional inters, rage quitters, and griefers... Plat is literally the worst from what I've experienced so far. Mid-High gold was my favorite experience in ranked tbh.

You know, it's funny, I remember these crybabies in bronze, silver, and gold.

Yeap. Low diamond is a pocket of toxicity cos they think they made it and their egos are so huge that they think they can get away with anything and can never be wrong.

No, if you play in NA, you will truly understand the genius toxic Mid-High Gold players. They are equal to Iron in other regions. I am very frustrated because they literally suck.

Low diamond division is very harsh. I've been moving from diamond 5 to grandmaster since season 3 so I can tell.

If you do bad in a game, you'll mostly get flammed by your team (Massive ping on your character, insults, passive aggresive attitude such as not helping you during a fight because you're not ''worth it''). This is because diamond players expect a ''high standard'' and consider that every other players have ''that'' mechanic.

If team already died at least 5 times in under 5 minutes, players tend to already give up. High level players know how to emphasize on getting the upper hand and it's very difficult to get back in the game. It's not ''worth it'' to continue to play and maybe win the game when win rate is about 50%.

Diamond players are very stubborn and don't like to be told what do to. So when a player dies and his teammates ''tells him what to do'', he'll actually do the opposite.
