I know it's a little more exp, but does it hit a certain level earlier with than wolves ->blue? Is it about positioning that you say, hit level 3 or 4 at a better spot on the map?
Well, Mao's insta-wraith clear => blue => wolves => wraiths lets him hit L3 (so all his skills) when he's close to midlane and both midlaners are L2, allowing a fairly brutal gank if the enemy isn't playing safe.

there won't be a ton of diamond badges. right now solo queue 2200 is top 500 players. might be more from ranked 5s but i wouldn't guess more than 1000 people get diamond this season.
also prepare for more greifing and terrible play now that people will have this excuse: "doesn't matter, my high elo is gold/plat/diamond, i don't have to win this game i still get the icon" -> 5zeal Twisted Fate and AP Pantheon games

If I understood this correctly then Diamond players get nothing special? And the only thing Plat to Diamond players get that gold players don't get is a forum badge? That feels really shitty. Feels like Riot is screwing over 2200 players just like last season.

Any really good dudes that think I'm pretty cool down to do a little ELO adjusting for me?
|
yeah it sounds like the only difference between them is
bronze -> silver = border in game load screen silver -> gold = janna skin gold -> plat = forum badge plat -> diamond = nothing changes except icon
i was really hoping they'd have something extra special for the top 500 players (if only so we wouldn't get a smash rant on it this year (hue jk))

Liquidparty and irc never answers me 
If I decayed from 1680 to 1450 do I still get gold stuff?

Not to be cocky, but I and many other TL players have plenty of high rated players on their friends list. What is stopping us from just asking them to add me to their defunct high-rated team that they never use just for the rewards? (I don't plan on doing this personally; I'd like to earn my rewards. But I'm just sayin'...)

I'd want to go for that "played in all queues" icon but it's literally impossible to get 2200 in 3v3 and 5v5 so then my icon would be plat. Fuck that, too plebeian.
Actually It'll be the rarest badge I think so it's worth trying. Now to get a pro 5v5 team.

That first blood on Sona was pretty brutal. Also Jayce mid from iG (which turns out to be stupid strong for ganks with melee E).

honestly, i expect many people will do this. but i also expect the high elo players will ask for payment. i mean elo jobs can go for like $100/100 elo, so a boost all the way up to diamond/plat? are people going to be willing to pay $250, $500, even more money for that?

you're reading it slightly wrong 2200 is diamond for solo queue, but 1850 is diamond for 3's and 5's. so you'd only need to get 1850 3's and 5's and 2200 solo to get all diamond icons

Yeah I'm doing that. And then you can invite me to the team to reap the rewards you've earned, amirite? Seriously though I'm going to aim for Gold in all 3 queues. I'm not too far off from getting it in solo/5s.

this came up last season too someone (was it spudboy? maybe brees? it was someone that we trusted!!! they lied to us!!!) was like "don't bother going for plat in solo queue, just get it in ranked 5s, it's super easy" and so a bunch of us started spamming ranked 5s.
then someone else on TL pointed out that there were even fewer plat players in ranked 5s. i think there were actually less than 100 in arranged 5s when the season ended. and all of them were like, chauster, hotshot, voyboy, etc etc etc. all literally professional players
and as someone who, during season 2, has basically never played solo queue "seriously" or "competitively" and has most of my "real" game experience in ranked 5s... you start getting strictly 2k+ solo queue opponents around 1500-1550 ranked 5s. NOT to say that they're impossible to win. NOR to say that you shouldn't try to go for all badges. just be realistic about your own skill. ranked 5s are hard. a lot of us wasted time last season at the end of the season trying to go for plat in ranked 5s. that's all
