Low quality player base in Diamond 5 elo?

After a lot of stress and work i managed to get in Diamond but i'm so disappointed. The player base in that elo is much lower in terms of quality than it was in platinum elo. Yea, maybe diamond 3-4 is another thing but Riot should do something with D5 league, why? All the boosted accounts are sitting here, all the players with the mentality "Ok, i'm Diamond, i don't need anything more, i can troll and lose a game i don't really care" are playing in this elo.

Let's take an example, with this occasion maybe Riot will report this guy (yea, maybe i wrote this because i'm tilted after the last game, ignore me)

The player [NAME REMOVED BY MODERATION], if you look at history u can see that he is feeding and probably inting in almost every game also you can observe that he is top main. In my game, in lobby he asked me if he can adc, I politely refused him ("i can't top, sorry mate" lol) and he respond "Ok i troll". He picked Blitz top, getting his items and stayed midlane for a while making Gankplank to leave the game (i understand him) . Why people choose to troll a game and lose like 15-20min of his time when you can simply dodge the game? The answer is simple :

  1. He is tilted from the previous games (i understand that)
  2. He can afford to troll and int in one game since the Riot will not punish him (let's be honest) and he will not get demoted from Diamond 5 that easly

I'm just done with this game, i really enjoy to play it but the community is too low quality.

You might try aram and norms, just sit in diamond and chill, learn to love the game again for being a game rather than a grading system.

Come back to ranked when you're having fun again. I'm a silver player and I think getting to diamond is amazing. Most of the community would consider diamond an achievement. Pat yourself on the back and take a rest. Like any race, you need to get some snacks and water after the season, rest up, and come back for the next season.

Hey WhiteWerry,

It's understandable to be frustrated, but calling people out on the boards isn't effective and is also against the rules. Accordingly, I have edited your post.
