"It's only flex"

TS Media·Apr 9, 2018·17 votes·7,795 views

No, it's RANKED flex. That means you come in this game mode to TRY your BEST. Don't first time champs in RANKED game modes. Then at the end of the day, don't come and say, "oh, it's only a game". I know it's only a game. But at the same time, it's a competitive game. I'm tired of your sorry excuses for why you're performing bad INTENTIONALLY.

If you have the skill set that you say you have, then you shouldn't be putting yourself in a position where you're costing your team an entire game. If your lane opponent is better than you, then play like a scared cat in front of a lion and don't get close enough to get bite. Let the other people carry the game or give them an opportunity to.

To top it off, if you're going into it saying, "it's only a game". Do me a HUGE favor and take that shit in normals.

flex is a meme has always been a meme and will always be a meme, if you want to play seriously go soloQ.

^this

no one respects Dynamic Queue, nor should they. It's a joke that Riot completely fucked the playerbase over for an entire season with. You can't ask people to respect something that they never wanted and still don't want

and y e s, it is dynamic queue

no one gives a fk about douchy dynamic queue. There is no real matchmaking, a solo Q bronze shitter is carried to gold by his solo Q plat premades. While diamonds troll and play soraka adc and shit like that. Only rtrds would consider that mode and twisted treeline mode to be a serious mode.

I don't get it why they haven't released a ranked mode for ARAM. Since treeline and dynamic q shit is like the same, non-serious, then why they left ARAM?

OP is an NA player.

NA has perma draft? So why the hell on eu we have for 12h

TurtleMariApr 10, 20181 votes

only EUW has draft 24/7 too. I think thats an EUNE only thing. I don't know why but i believe it had something to do with the lack of active players at those times which would make queue times too long or something, not sure.

Slice n Dice emApr 10, 20182 votes

EUW has 24/7 draft too. EUNE people just want easy gold rank that's why they play on that server, because it's harder to get gold on EUW compared to EUNE. The ping difference ATMOST is 5-10 ping which is hardly noticeable, the only reason people play on that server is to get easy high rank.

I think Riot should make rank stricter for shitty regions, if there are 200 challenger player for EUW and NA then there should only be 30 to 50 challenger players for EUNE. A challenger in EUW isn't compare-able to a challenger in EUNE that's just a slap towards EUW challenger. Ranks should be given based on population. So many times I have been paired with EUNE smurfs in EUW, and they play like shit, and they just brag about their rank on EUNE, just makes me so sad.

Actually just as easy to get gold on EUW. The difference is in high ranks

Blame Riot. Theyre the ones that made Flex into an absolute laughing stock of a queue. Cant expect people to take a queue that is that trash seriously

Citation needed. What's exactly about Flex queue that you think is worthy of being laughed at?

Don't treat League as your own personal 1v1 environment. It's not Heartstone. You don't get your 1v1 because League is a team game. Flex is ranked practice for people who want to play in teams while Clash is going to be a serious mode for serious teams, competing for prizes.

if anyone would be giving their best at ranked then you would have to wait 1 hour for a game since there would be much less players involved

it's just League

TS MediaApr 9, 20181 votes

You can't be at your best 100% of the time. I understand that. I'm not asking people to play perfectly. I'm just asking them to try as best they can. Which means not taking fights you already know 100% you're going to lose. Not over extending when you KNOW the jungler is on your side of the map and try to blame your jungler when he's on the opposite side. Just the simple things.

Please take that shit to Co-Op. Ain't nobody got time to be dealing with 'first time playing X' in Normals, when it takes 10-15 minutes in a bot game to learn what the champion does instead of waffling around in lane trying to figure out what to do.

Kahl Drogo98Apr 10, 20182 votes

although i agree that for your first 1 2 or 3 times playing a champ should be in bots there's only so much you can learn by doing so. you will never truly learn a champs mechanics until you play them against real people with real strategies to go against.

Oh yeah, thanks for reminding me flex exists...

ankoanko19Apr 9, 20181 votes

Problem with normal games are that they don't feel rewarding at all and people usually play a lot less serious in drafts and surrender too early. Wheras in flex, at least IMO I see it more as like a normal draft where you can practice a bit more because people play more seriously and you get to a higher lp count etc etc (currently practicing Irelia mostly only in flex for example). I think, Riot can fix this issue of normal games not feeling rewarding by maybe increasing the chances of getting hextech chests or keys.

TS MediaApr 9, 20181 votes

I don't mind people using flex as a practice plat form. That simply doesn't excuse intentionally feeding or intentionally throwing games, under normal circumstances. And then go, "it's only flex". Because that defeats the whole purpose.

No of course not but flex really isn't that seriously taken.

SwiftCraneApr 10, 20181 votes

I think ironically the reason people don't play first time garbage/troll picks/new champ/not try their best in draft is because it is the " first time garbage/troll picks/new champ/not try their best" gamemode. Some people just want a ranked mode without consequences (not losing their main rank) , but isn't just people trolling, afking, b5 feeders etc.

I think it's already a community meme that flex is "ranked LULs". If people troll in your soloq games then you can complain.

Why are you playing ranked flex and getting mad anyways? Why not just play soloq?

Solo/duo Flex bots normies

ThePikolApr 10, 20181 votes

Now think what we have here on EUNE. We don't have normal draft available 24/7 so we can't even tell them to go play there instead of trying shit in Flex.

PANAGIA PARTHENAApr 10, 20181 votes

Honestly after all the dynamic queue forcing down my throat, i'll disrespect flex all i want.Its just normal draft for me especially since i play in eune.

Kumungu AffairApr 10, 20181 votes

Flex is essentially normals though, it's the game mode you play with friends to get an arbitrary number.

VvVVvVApr 10, 20181 votes

Tho I agree people shouldnt play champs in ranked that they have never played at all. Flex is not like regular ranked. Me personally i wouldnt be upset as much if i lost in flex due to that like in regular ranked.
