If you are winning Diamond/Crystal matches, but generally dropping stars in Plat/Diamond and thats what preventing you from hitting Crystal, then you need to play better because it means you are not playing well enough to carry your plats when you get them. Like some people are not good, but the reason why you–and other people–get stuck in ranked is not because of matchmaking. Its generally a lack of fundamentals, consistent poor decision making, or a lack of knowledge of how to play their job.
