Is it possible that if i duo with gold or plat there is a chance to verse with gold or plat players also?

Im bronze4. Is that what flex do?

yeah, it will raise your mmr so that you're playing more difficult opponents. This can be a problem especially if you play all of your ranked games this way because it will seem like you're boosted unless you improve to that level of play.

You won't be able to duo with someone more than 1 tier away from you, although that only considers your ranks within that queue (so your solo rank and your flex rank are different things).

When you're in a premade, you face people who are around the average mmr of the people in your premade. It tries to have similar rank distributions too where possible. Usually the lowest person in your premade will face someone higher mmr than them, and the highest person will face someone lower mmr than them as a result.

Many people with relatively high solo ranks/mmrs have relatively low flex ranks/mmrs still though, so matchmaking in flex queue can sometimes be exciting with or without premades.
