Well I'm going to make a post that can be summed up by one word: Noobs. Or rather boosted noobs.
See the issue with Storm league based off of playing hundreds of games what I noticed is that players with an account level of 900 or higher generally understood the game well, did not make stupid mistakes and did not construct flames to blame good players.
Heres what I noticed in high diamond while playing with plats diamonds masters and sometimes grandmasters.
Half the players had accounts that were sub level 300. Those players were often in plat high diamond or masters. They seemed to make inappropriate hero picks, did not understand how to build comps synergize or counter pick during draft.
These people had silver or gold at best skill level and yet had the inflated ego to go with their undeserved rank.
They moved around the map poorly, had poor decision making and positioning, poor talent choices often not countering the enemy team or adapting to counter talents (ie the leo who goes auto attack build instead of E build or the KT who goes convection and never finishes it)
During games this players would often one trick an assassin while not really doing important things like soaking or mercing, they would obsess over one or two details and if you werent doing what they wanted they resort to intense flaming or blame games.
More veteran players those with an account level of 900 or higher and generally 1500 is a safe bet you have people who deserve to be in diamond or higher because they understand all the nuanced fundamentals, they dont argue or flame good players and have rational analysis of why we are losing or how to adapt and win. High account level players have practice of thousands of games behind their backs on a multitude of heroes allowing them to effectively pick from a variety of heroes and play them all well.
Essentially the difference between a veteran heroes player and a noob with a low level account is the difference between roses and daisies. The more high level accounts you have on your team the greater your chance is that you will win regardless of how seemingly bad your comp is.
Remember this Heroes of the Storm is largely a game of mistakes and its more likely that you will lose a game because one bad player made a stupid decision rather than your 5 smart ones. It is a game largely determined on who has the weakest link. Whats worse is that those stupid players are often the first ones to flame and make up bullshit to defend their bad plays and attack your team mates further tilting everyone
My best advice to blizzard is to do a hard reset on Storm league MMR and then look at how many seasons a player has been playing. If they have only played one or two seasons they should not be allowed the place higher than silver. 3 or 4 seasons Gold and so on but dont let people place directly into master.
Ive been playing heroes for 5 years with an account over 2500 and have over 11k games played. It makes me want to vomit that I have to play with these people because they are so bad and stupid its a wonder how they managed to figure out how to install this game. Basically Boosted noobs being assholes is why Competitive heroes has always sucked and I think its never going to get better.
