So for context I was Diamond 2 the act before last, and haven't played much since. I've never had great aim but my opponents were never god-like and my ability usage was good so it didn't matter so much.

I've noticed in about 80% of my games in gold I've legitimately struggled and oftimes been bottom frag. I'm almost always just getting one tapped in the head from 60m away, which didn't even happen in Diamond from my experience, where I was middle of the leaderboard most games. Is it a case of smurfs, or just people suddenly becoming radiants? Even players' game sense is incredibe at the moment. What has changed in the last couple months?

Didn't want this to be another complain post but it's essentially what I'm here to do. And probably to disagree with most comments hehe
