No, you are hardly alone. I had mentioned it in another thread. First, I was going to grind for plat in World's Edge, playing with pre-made teams. Got to Gold IV before I realized the split was coming. I just didn't keep up on the news.
Then the split came and they sprung Kings Canyon Season 2. KC is just an awful map, period. It was their first, so I didn't blame them, and to rotate it back for a bit of difference every now and then was fine. But they made it their ranked Season 4 post split map!
KC is so bad, I just basically refused to go with my pre-made team mates in any ranked mode, because I know KC is all about screwing over your team mates and leaving them behind if you want to win. Well, at least to get to my pre-split rank of Gold. So I basically soloed until I matched my gold rank and then quit playing ranked until it changes. I don't know, I might have playeda few more games to unlock a weekly objective. But I haven't been back for a while.
Do I play KC during regular rotation? Sure. I even didn't mind the After Dark version, which was better just for not having the Lab, and making dumb instant drop melee matches less popular. But Apex bent to the crying and got rid of that. Which is still fine, because KC still sucks.
There's no point to playing ranked after you match your pre-split rank. With the total awfulness of KC, and its rng way to figure out how the first ten teams are eliminated, I'm glad I didn't get far pre-split like you, I would be even more pissed if I had fought to diamond. I sure had intended to do that, too.
