Rename flex queue to boost queue because that's really what it is.

Here's flex after a decent number of games played, sample size is over 50 games: one or two people from higher elo carrying their bronze/silver 5 friends because they want their friends to get free wins, and because flex queue is literally allowing people in platinum to queue into an elo where the highest tier is maybe silver 5. This was the problem with it LAST time and nothing's changed other than it being in it's own queue

Get rid of it altogether, bring back ranked 5's, and make it only allow people of all the same tier, or make it so that literally not even silvers can queue with bronze players, and your solo tier puts you with people in flex of that rank. There's nothing wrong with this and the reasoning for it that was brought to us by riot has no logic founded behind it.

No, I'm not going to cuck out and add random high rank people just to get a good rank in chimp queue. I'd be a hypocrite if I did that. I play it because norms are norms, and I want SOME kind of competitive aspect in the game to exist, but not get my solo MMR tarnished by trying to experiment in ranked.

No one takes flex queue seriously. You get a mix of bronze/silver/gold/plat/diamond because the average group of friends who play don't play at the same skill level.

then get rid of it. It serves no purpose just like twisted treeline.

It's a pseudo rank for those who just want to play "ranked". Just don't play it.

Last I checked, the rank 1 player in flex queue was only gold 3 in solo queue. It's a joke, I really doubt it'll last after this season.

Platinums can't queue with anyone under gold, without smurfing (in which smurfing, not flex queue, is the problem in this case).

I can't stand flex. I was so frustrated last year because it was the only form of ranked..... I hate matchmaking in flex.... I play against last year plats who didnt play flex yet this year, so they are in low elo.....
