When the guy has a diamond border in the 1500s, they still know you are a diamond level player, and don't bat an eyelash, it's a huge advantage. Your perspective is not correct.
Diamond level players are the worst about this, if you ever watch streams you would know they immediately look down on players with a less than diamond border.
I would appreciate it if the problem at hand were not ignored, I would rather have no border at all than a gold one going into solo Q. At least that way my team will think I'm smurfing.
I hope there is an update where I can choose to disable the border that labels me forever as a "Gold level" player.

It doesn't matter where you earned it your highest elo should be shown no matter what. I don't care what people say about ranked 3s or 5s if you can get to diamond there you could probably get the same elo in solo queue with time. |
That's a mistake I plan to remedy in S3, I will not be playing as much TT even though I enjoy it, because the rewards are not treated equally to those that are given out of Solo Q. Solo Q appears to be the only game mode that Riot cares about rewarding, and I am eternally punished by a gold border for not working harder to get plat. Now platinum players do not take me seriously in my games. Frustrating.
Riot even states that Solo Q is the most accurate representation of a player's individual skill level. Yet the fact that my TT team went diamond means little to nothing to represent my skill when I am 1/3 of the entire team.
