Ranked Flex vs Ranked Solo/Duo

Is it me or is it WAY HARDER to climb Ranked Flex playing Solo?

I easily rushed to Gold V in Solo this season in 2 weeks yet in Flex I am grinding out a ridiculous number of games between SII and SIII. Its always a pub stomp either way...

And there are tons of games where you win and were ahead, but the enemy team Gets It (while your team doesn't) and rotates WAY BETTER than your team and you lose anyways.

Half the time it is clear from the start which team Gets It and knows how to rotate and clear minions while the other team will just ignore minion waves and literally lose towers to minions while going "Let's Baron."

probably because in flex your less likely to have solo players who feed/troll during a game and more dou/trio groups that work well an communicate together

lol, the way flex is, if you are d4+ you have a ridiculously easy time in flex, if you are p2 and lower then you will struggle in flex. It is because the match making doesn't go based on solo Q MMR/rank, it goes on its own mmr. This means the game is often decided by which team has the most solo q d4+ on it. If you are d4+ yourself then you will likely always have more than the enemy team and the game is freelo. If you are under plat 2 then there is a high chance that you won't be able to have any impact in games because you are being stomped by people of a much higher rank/skill level.
