Why is ranked flex harder than solo queue?

I plateaued at plat 1 51 lp last season and once again i did placements and went from g3 back to p1 in solo queue. However in flex queue.... I'm hardstuck in silver 1... LOL the only reason I'm ranting is because i want that "juicy" reward from riot games for being gold in both solo and flex queue. I have noted that there are sometimes other plat players in my games trying to accomplish the same thing but on average im playing with gold players... Am i retarded? lul

Higher variance in matchmaking and an inherently less balance-able matchmaking algorithm.

Very few people are good in flex queue. It's just that matchmaking has those animals play with you instead of actually pairing you with people that you can carry and people that you can fight.

I mean, I played two games in threes flex today as Gold 3 and got placed against a Challenger solo queue player twice in a row today. Just keep playing it. Flex is weird.
