I saw a lot of people discussing the new ranked distribution but as the decrease in population in Master and Diamond was not discussed in the dev post many people dont know this. Master tier will become smaller and diamond tier only a little bit. I think up to D3 will be moved down to emerald to make space in diamond for the master players which will be pushed out of master.

Yeah sorry for any confusion, we're basically aiming for something closer to end of 2022's size for Diamond+ which is a little smaller than this Split's, but did want to be clear that that skill range isn't getting any new folks pushed into it from below because of the redistribution.
