Hi! paging /u/Link2011 also - this isn't true!

I'm a security engineer working in our Dublin office and we've had a sizeable programming presence here for at least 3 or 4 years now. There are a couple of teams with software engineering going on.

There are also engineering teams in a lot of other offices, but if you're from the EU then Dublin is probably your best bet.

I don't. I'm speaking purely anecdotally.

several hundred thousands smurfs

probably! but there are definitely not enough smurfs to make diamond go from top 2% to top 20%.

But we are cutting the player base in more than half due to smurfs. It just comes down to your opinion vs mine. I truly believe diamond is like getting a B it's good and some people are happy about it and others are not.

I'm saying that for your statement to be true we'd need several hundred thousand smurfs. There aren't even a hundred thousand players in dia on euw.

I personally know 20 people who each have 6+ accounts each in low gold so I still would say 20% for diamond 4. I bet you also have 2 accounts I dont know of a single person who has less than 2 accounts.

I'd be okay with agreeing with high plat low diamond but what is high plat p3-p1? Because low plat is p4-p5. See what I am saying your essentially splitting hairs. In my opinion which is based on personal expierence of climbing through unranked to diamond at least 30 times this season. It seems diamond is the new plat

Low gold is a lot easier to achieve than diamond, even for diamond players. I get placed in high gold on new accounts :P That's still a far cry from saying diamond is top 20%. It's simply not. on EUW that would be like putting several hundred thousand more people in diamond.

I'll just make this argument the whole top % thing just doesnt hold water, due to the amount of smurfs. For example I am a master tier player but i have 16 accounts ranging from gold to diamond, so I'm curious to see the actual % with all the smurfs taken out I'd be willing to bet it diamond is somewhere around top 20% and that in my opinion is not good. Especially since this year riot made grandmaster I truly believe that platinum of 2018 is now the level diamond of 2019 is at.

I'm not a betting man but if I was I would definitely not take that bet

I didn't work on the matchmaking system but I'd say low level diamond is now the level of previous high plat and high diamond 2019 is mid diamond 2018 based on my personal experience
