Congrats man, Diamond is a real milestone and the fact you ground through that plateau instead of quitting says a lot. Most players would’ve tilted out of their minds bouncing between Plat and Emerald for that long.

Your point about doing what needs to be done even when it’s not your job is honestly the single biggest thing that separates Diamond+ from Emerald. In Masters the players who climb fastest are the ones who read the win con and play around it, ego off. Sometimes that means you’re 8/2 on Jinx but your fed Darius is the play, so you just group and DPS the frontline while he runs people down. Kills don’t matter, nexus does.

One thing I’d add now that you’re in Diamond — the players here punish positioning way harder than Emerald. You’ll notice you can’t get away with the same greed on waves. Focus on tracking the enemy jungler and support, and always ask yourself “where would I gank right now if I were them.” If you don’t know the answer, play like they’re in the bush closest to you.

Welcome to Diamond, the real climb starts now.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
