Flex Queue needs to consider solo/duo MMR.

Someone needs to hear this.

I have a group of friends that try and get together weekly to play the game. We set aside a few hours to get into Flex (the only ranked format that allows 5, ya know the intended way to play the game) and put on our hats to play the game well. We talk about strategies, we buy pink wards. Nothing in league of legends feels as good as playing ranked with your friends in a 5 man. Most of us have played the game since it came out. We have thousands of hours and thousands of dollars in the game.

But today I just want to uninstall.

Each of our three games tonight were blowouts. Our MMR and Rank in both Solo/Duo are Silver/Bronze and our Rank in Flex is Bronze. Across the board. Today we played against

2 Plat Junglers (Solo/Duo) 7 Gold players (Solo/Duo) 1 Diamond Jungler (Solo/Duo) just to name a few.

Guys. Blowout games suck. I am not trying to QQ the matchmaking system. But something has GOT to give for flex.

Get this. Last season our team of High Silver/Low Gold Flex played against the top 5 Challenge Cho Gath player on the server. In a ranked flex game. A Silver/Gold ranked flex game. Hillarious.

Rito man, you're killing me. Just let us play against similar skill. There is no world where my Bronze 1 -> Silver 4 Promo games should have diamond opponents. This is not rocket science, literally everyone knows it. Bind the queues together. It's basic. If that solution is unworkable for some reason, then take some other precautions.

I have long supported this game. I don't claim to be good at this game. But what you are telling me with your matchmaking system is that you dont want my money or my support.

So please Rito. Please.

Just let us have decent matchmaking.

That's always been my issue with Flex, it doesn't consider your Solo/Duo rank. I was Plat 4 last season Solo/Duo and at the time I was in gold for Flex. I remember on a few occasions being matched with and against players who were diamond in Solo/Duo, and even a MASTER tier player. I did win that game, but I had the crap kinda beaten out of me since it was botlane and they were duoing with their support.

It's in no way really fair, sure they might be silver in Flex queue but they're Master in Solo/Duo, it's like smurfing honestly.
