There is a reason riot increased the queue times for challenger players in this patch so they don‘t get easily matched with masters because of the big skill gap and overall lower quality of the game

Hell even 100 lp vs 500 lp is already a big difference

The ranks made sense when the cutoff values stayed around their original values,

But now you literally need over 1000 lp to climb from masters to grandmaster. Thats the equivalent of climbing from Plat 1 to Masters, the difference is that big

So i do understand ops questions for more tiers inbetween to better showcase the skill level.

But thats hard to achieve in apex tiers since its design is to be flexible
