Last night i hit platinum 2 in flex queue. i don't play with team mates ever, i am always going solo. i was really proud of myself as i did it myself. but no one gave a single shit that i reached it, because it wasn't done in solo q. this really frustrated me as it is the same map, and pick and ban phase. why do people refuse to acknowledge flex ranks. i know platinum 2 isn't the most impressive rank.

i can honestly tell you why flex is more worth it than solo q.

  • flex has a much higher tolerance for players who are slacking the reason to this is players in flex are just people who are playing for fun in a more serious attitude.
  • flex has much less toxicity in flex queue no one is harassing as majority of players are in a call of their own, if they flame its because someone is trolling (from what ive seen)
  • there is a bigger skill cap in lower ranks gold in flex queue can bring players from silver in solo q all the way to platinum players
  • games are won with team work in solo q everyone often relies on the hyper carries to do all the work, but in flex more people are fine with sacrificing themselves as its easier to understand that these people can work together much easier.

overall, i hope flex queue gets light shined upon it just because it is a much more professional version of league of legends. thank you for reading.

It's like anything. Look at tennis...singles is where it's at. Sure, mixed doubles is fun, but it's NOT singles. Just the way it is. There will always be that one category that shines, and the others are looked down upon or looked at like practice (like LoL).

It probably has to do with when flex queue was the only ranked game mode and a lot of people got to ranks they didn't deserve. I don't see the problem with it or why solo queue rank would mean more. Your ability to play with 4 retards doesn't mean much when at the highest level of play people are playing with an actual team.

{quoted} players in flex are just people who are playing for fun

In your last 2 games, you laned against a plat 4 rengar main, who never plays rengar top, but he did because it's flex.

and a gold 2 ornn.

plat 2 btw

People dont tilt as often in flex because they dont care whether they win or lose.
