I hit gc recently and now I wanted to get the champ rewards on my alt. Because it's only my barely used 2nd account, it is ranked d2/d3. Now I tried to solo q to champ (I've done that a few times before on my main) and got lobbies, which were harder then my gc lobbies. Maybe it's because they play so different from gcs and I can't adapt to their play styles or I'm just ass. But either way I can't remember d3s being so good. There's players who reset and double tap on me - the last time I was in low d3 the players flew over the easiest balls. Idk if it's just me but I have a feeling that especially diamond 3 is way harder to get out of this season.

I really dont feel like its harder i just feel like each rank have different play styles… trust me ik, i went down to c1 div4 from c3 div3 bc (well i was playing bad) but every time I deranked the play style and gameplay was changing (i got c3 again btw :) )

I've been at champ 1-2 for 1 and a half years now, and its the exact same skill in my eyes

it took me 3 years to hit champ in 2s but i mainly play 1s so therefore i couldve hit it quicker ?

No, not really

Yes I’m still d3 d2 after 3 days same rank

i do believe it is getting harder, but not for me. No to sound cocky, but Im improving faster than ranked is getting harder.
