Whats the difference between plat and diamond
Im plat IV right now with 50 lp trying to make it to diamond and i want to know peoples thoughts on the differences from plat to diamond prefferably diamond players thoughts.

Diamond A clear octahedral stone protrudes from a black rock. The slightly misshapen octahedral shape of this rough diamond crystal in matrix is typical of the mineral. Its lustrous faces also indicate that this crystal is from a primary deposit. General Category Native Minerals Formula (repeating unit) C Strunz classification 01.CB.10a Identification Formula mass 12.01 g/mol Color Typically yellow, brown or gray to colorless. Less often blue, green, black, translucent white, pink, violet, orange, purple and red. Crystal habit Octahedral Crystal system Isometric-Hexoctahedral (Cubic) Twinning Spinel law common (yielding "macle") Cleavage 111 (perfect in four directions) Fracture Conchoidal (shell-like) Mohs scale hardness 10 Luster Adamantine Streak Colorless Diaphaneity Transparent to subtransparent to translucent Specific gravity 3.52±0.01 Density 3.5–3.53 g/cm3 Polish luster Adamantine Optical properties Isotropic Refractive index 2.418 (at 500 nm) Birefringence None Pleochroism None Dispersion 0.044

The difference is diamond players have better decision making and are less likely to throw.
The major difference is better decision-making and faster rotations. Mechanics are slightly better. I'm a diamond 3 player and when i've seen plat games, the major thing that stands out is that theres some awful decision-making and the rotations are very slow.
More mechanical outplays. More Decisiveness. More players who master a limited champion pool.
