Anyone else think diamond 2/3 and champ 1 are different this season?

I know they did a fat deranked at the beginning of the season but even after that it feels different. For the past year and a half I’ve been champ 1 and up in champ 2. Now I’m diamond 3 and I feel like I’m facing high D1 players and champ 1 feels like C2 players.

I don’t mind at all idc about rank but it’s just something I’ve noticed and wondering if anyone has also? Maybe I’m just playing shitty idk but D2/D3 before was very toxic with a mix of terrible and amazing people but it’s been very consistent now
