Ever since I finished my placements and got placed Diamond 2, I’ve been frequently matching champions in ranked Slayer. How dead is this game that it cant even match champions with onyx players in its most populated rank playlist?
Lol, 2 games after making this post my team of 4 random diamonds gets placed against 4 champs. What is this matchmaking???
The new season is, what, 7 days in? It could be that there are less than 200 people ranked Onyx right now. And since champs are just the top 200 onyx players, that would mean everyone who gets into Onyx immediately is a champ (until more than 200 players rank Onyx). I’d expect that once the season is further in, there will be more than 200 players with Onyx rank, and you’ll start to see non-champ Onyx players.
Also, if you ranked Diamond 2, it means your MMR is around Diamond 4, so it’s not that surprising that you’d get matched with Onyx MMR players.

First off champion starts at 1500 and is only the top 200 onyx so they aren’t exactly some special breed. Additionally you ranked diamond 2 which means your MMR or skill level is D4. That’s only about 100 CSR under onyx. So in reality you aren’t that much lower in rank than those onyx players.
Also due to the population diamonds can always match to champs and onyxs so that those players can actually find games.
