but basically people just haven't hid the elo cap for diamond, possibly because they are too bad or not playing enough to gain enough elo.

Let's take a look at, for example, the top ranks in Overwatch and League of Legends.

Either TB implements a Top 200-esque rank, or lowers the required MMR for diamond (seems dumb that nobody, not even the best players are capable of reaching diamond). I don't really see another option.
