Please change Diamond+ Solo Queue to Master+ or Diamond I+
Please consider changing the Diamond+ solo queue restriction to Master+ only, or at least Diamond 1+.
Diamond is not truly the top competitive bracket anymore; many players reach Diamond mainly to continue playing ranked with friends. Blocking premades from all of Diamond removes one of the biggest reasons people still grind ranked: improving and pushing together as a duo or trio.
I understand the goal of protecting competitive integrity in high-level lobbies, but applying it from Diamond IV is too broad. Master/Pred, or maybe Diamond I and above, would target the actual high-end ranked environment without punishing regular Diamond players who simply want to play with friends.
