Flex queue wouldn't strictly require solo players if 4-man premades were disallowed

Two pairs/trios of solo players would still be able to enter Flex queue per match if matchmaking could only find a two trio/pair premades, respectively. This would require that Solo/Duo queue just became Solo Queue, since duos would just want to enter soloQ instead because of the (perceived?) advantage it gives them over solo players.

needed match types: 5 v 5 3+2 v 3+2

optional if it reduces queue times or if solo players enter the queue: 3+1+1 v 3+1+1 2+1+1+1 v 2+1+1+1 1+1+1+1+1 v 1+1+1+1+1

That's true.

It's possible though being forced to run a 3 and a 2 versus a 3 and a 2 would make queue times and matchmaking too poor particularly at the fringe elos, in combination of desired roles

But if nobody could run 4s there might be more 5s and more 3s, and yes, no need of solos.
