    Also rather have alts than no qs, most of my qs last season were with alts that already had their mains in high dia.

    But a lot of these matches were diamond/plat matches in which alt players could simply have played their mains.

    Most of them don't have the motivation to play their mains because they care too much about the end result of a game when they do or because they want to play a different job. I mean if you look at Sotek for example, his alt is a NIN; which I thought played well compared to the 3 or 4 other melee active on ladder - I'm sure he'd rather enjoy quick melee queues in plat rather than put his main into minus by queueing a new job on that or speaking 3 hours to play 5 games (and on that basis, any ranged player would rather Sotek played his NIN lol); or Lloyd's NIN alt which plays well but he likes to "test" things on it because training doesn't pop and most customs only seem to happen in the French PvP community or people in FRC atm. Why would he test those things on his main when he usually goes for top 20. I've ran 3 alts for the last two seasons, being a non-PS4 player they go virtually unnoticed (and in some cases complimented because people haven't worked out it's me) but you bet if I role swap on my main I'm going to get flamed for not playing my strongest jobs. Lloyd's two biggest mistakes were making a NIN alt with a Swedish name ergo so people would figure out quickly it's him (with those stupid additionals he might have actually gotten away with just lying about it) and ever being a part of PvP discords; considering he can hardly play his alt in peace now either. I still remember when people wouldn't shut up about how good my MCH was until they figured out it was actually just me but with a name change (even after admitting it was me both on twitch and discord within an hour of doing it).

    But back onto your point, they don't have any reason to queue their mains when they're safe, it's more fun to play an alt and actually try to enjoy climbing rather than arguing in Discord all evening because you're accessible and having memes throw your games.
