As someone who first made it to GM 2 weeks and currently in Diamond 1 now, you're playing against 4% of the overall population not to mention the percent is even lower once you factor in how many ppl are in a given rank. You'll only ever get matched up with Diamond 1 or other GMs in different tiers if the system can find a way to balance out the overall team score so there's that too. You also need to consider:
>What time of day you're playing at
>The GMs that reach there and drop ranked for the season
>We're already at the end of the season and there's nothing to grind for
>And like I said how many are in the same tier as you
I'd say Diamond is pretty much the most populated rank if you want high skill play. Everything pass that is ghost tier status until S4. It's funny, ppl hate bot matches in QP but you can clearly see why they're implemented in the first place to solve this problem. I'm not saying to add bots in ranked lol or increase the amount of bots in QP but I just find that humorous to me. All in all that's just the drawbacks of playing against human players. Also don't forget some ppl are playing Resource Rumble instead of Ranked like me so there's that.
