Can I at least get G5 before I have to play in plat elo?

Flex matchmaking is beyond a joke at this point. I'm S1 in flex, but pretty much all of my games are against high gold/plat, sometimes even diamond opponents. Like sure I'm plat in solo que but I'm silver in flex so why the hell must I play at a diamond level just to get out of silver?????? And if low elo players are dealing with the same problem, can they even climb this shit?

EDIT: Yeah I just got a Bronze 5 support, while the enemy team got a D5 jungler. You guys are right, flex is a fucking joke, Riot can keep their skin. I'd rather climb a smurf than touch this absolutely GARBAGE game mode.

I was getting this in my climb to gold in SOLO queue as well. Silver 1 trying to get promoted to gold 5 and I'm facing Gold 3 to Plat 4 opponents. Didn't realize I needed to have a 60% win rate against high gold/low plat in order to get into Gold 5.

I might lower your MMR a little, no dias. But yea i just want G5 so close and i think you get a small bonus prize for Gold in multiple queues.

Gold flex after being placed in Bronze 1. From S1 to G5 every game I had included 2-5 plats. Games more or less decided on who had a legit silver on the team that the plat could lane vs to feed on.

If you didnt get placed in gold to begin with the grind is truly hell. Getting a duo buddy helps immensely. From B1 to S2 I more or less ran solo but some games it would be all solos vs a 3 man and 2 man and they're able to pick up guaranteed gold/plat/dia buddies while you can have bronze allies. Matchmaking is super fucked up

Nah, man it's not worth the frustration. Flex is garbage, stick to solo/duo they better kill this shit next season. My enemy team just had 270 avg mmr above my team. Its a joke man.

Yeah agreed. Not sure if I just worded it poorly but I was placed B1 and grinded to G5 already. S2-G5 was extremely poorly matched
