Once you reach Immortal, you will experience the highest skill difference anywhere. There is a big difference between Low-Mid-High Immortal and Radiant.

People need goals there is nothing to achieve anymore, matches feel more troll. Players just don’t care as much because there’s no next attainable goal.

The next step is Radiant that is so far away that its not worth climbing for most. If there was Immortal 2 and 3 to aim for, I believe the game quality would improve. Its also just fun to climb ranks.

Don't get me wrong, I really like the leaderboard system and dont want it to be removed.
