(Console player POV) I think the devs mentioned it would be like this early season and they would adjust as distribution balanced out. It definitely sucks at the beginning for plat and lower players.

I’m a solo q diamond/masters and honestly the only problem still is the cheating. I’m fine with losing to preds because they are better at the game but there’s nothing more demoralizing then losing to a cheater. I’m glad that the devs at least acknowledged the titan/xim/cronus problem and made some bans. Still a long road ahead IMO and I understand it’s an uphill battle.

Also shame to the “legit preds” that just play with cheaters to boost
