Ask for actual help so you can improve yourself. Don't ask for a ride.

That's a BIG leap from silver 4 to diamond 5. From personal experience (as i am diamond 5 and have a smurf at lower elos) in both gameplay and mindsets in silver and diamond, I can tell you there is a huge difference.

We can't let you become a freeloader as that would actually hurt the society (especially in the diamond area, same scenario with boosted players) and you would not enjoy playing ranked as you might not understand what the hell is actually going on. Real diamond players that deserve to be there would also not enjoy playing with you as they'll have to write a whole summary in the game chat to make you understand why you should do 'this' or 'that', and still not listen properly because of bad (might i say silver?) habits.

Silvers tend to take things for granted such as leads, gold or experience. If someone gives you this lead in diamond (or plat), they expect YOU to do something with that lead. If you don't know how to use that lead and just let the enemy team come back then you haven't done your job like you're supposed to.

Diamond also punishes HEAVILY. A silver that might lane against a diamond might become disastrous as all diamonds will look for SOME lead. A silver player will EASILY give them a lead if they don't know how the game works. This lead transitions to them becoming a threat to YOUR team now. This will then make your game less enjoyable as you'll have no idea how to come back and be consistently underfarmed and won't be able to do anything unless you have CC and/or are tanky.

Instead you should climb yourself and experience how to get better, learn your champs more to prepare for diamond later on. Jumping from silver to diamond is like pouring boiling water in a glass cup. It can't take the **pressure **and will crack.
