Can you fix flex queue next season?

Like.... it can be a fun queue if you want to play with friends. But I honestly feel beyond cheated by the queue. I don't even know what the double rewards are and at this point it's whatever there is no way I can justify wasting my life trying to climb this god awful queue. Like.... you place me.... a consistent gold player in bronze.... ok.... i know your placement systems shit I am not surprised. But what pisses me off is this. So I am supposedly bronze right? Yet... I see more plat players than I see actual bronze players. Now yea.... they probably "ranked" bronze in your shit queue but.... they definitely don't play like a bronzey.

On top of the fact that ranks are beyond retarded you also have great games like the one I just played where you have a bunch of randoms playing a team of 5. Great to learn that while in game btw...... really happy you can't share that information with us before a game. So now I am playing Jinx adc as a solo player with other solo players vs a team of 5 who doing a wombo combo of Zac JarvanIV Rakan Brand. Needless to say chances of winning low and before game starts our team already knows its going to be a shitty experience. Granted..... the premade team was complete shit so we hung in the game for awhile. But in the end a very annoying team comp and comms won.

So there goes 25 mins or whatever of my life just sitting in game wondering why I even queued up for such a joke queue and then spent the whole game sitting under turret and like a mile from the creeps because literally if I get touched by cc I'm dead. Or you know... one knockup by JarvanIV and I'm instant dead. Don't get me wrong.... I love me some JarvanIV he my main jungle right now and it feels great instant kililng adcs but not so much as the adc especially in a game where i have to not only worry about him but a Zac diving across the map or a Rakan.

You can ask me why don't I queue up as my main role and play my champs? Because honestly wtf the point? Try hard and get an ok matched game less than half the time? Or just match joke with joke? like.... if I wasn't completely out of the running and somewhat close to gold I might waste time grinding this retarded ass queue but.... riot can't even do that right. I don't need play 100s of games in your shit queue to know I am a gold level player. I am just smart enough now to know it's not worth the terrible experience reaching an elo I would actually maybe have some fun in. I also know its a joke that lots of other equal level players as me just got placed into gold and don't have to waste time playing this queue which of course pisses me off. I really have never seen a game with such a terrible placement system I think you guys have held that record for literally years.

My experience with Flex Queue was the opposite. Ended Silver 2 in Solo the last two seasons, do my placements and got Gold 3 in Flex. Played a few more games, skipped Gold 2 entirely and got Gold 1. The entire time I was playing solo, with very skilled players on my team and on the enemy team. It was the only time I've played Ranked where it felt worth while, like every little decision I made mattered, and that I was growing as a player.

I stopped upon hitting Gold 1 because I am busy enough I don't think I could maintain Plat+, but I'd gladly play more Flex Queue over Solo Queue. Just hit Gold 5 in Solo Queue and I don't intend to go back to it.

A perfect example of why their placement system is beyond garbage
