It's season whatever
And we still don't have a soloQ.
Isn't flex made so people can premade up? Why aren't duos going there instead of solo/duoq? Having a true soloQ limits NOBODY from playing with duos, so I'm not sure why it's not a thing.

Nah, getting camped by Top-Jungle Premade is fun. I don't care about if I win these or not, I can't even enjoy League after such games.
Yeah, I mean --- This is the only community-requested thing Riot has ever dropped the ball on literally ever.
So I doubt they'd want to tarnish their nearly flawless reputation of listening to their players and giving them well-deserved QOL improvements.
They care too much.
So I'm sure they'll get around to this very soon.
It's not going to be pure solo queue, deal with it.
It's been Solo/Duo for longer than I can remember.
As I understand it, Duo is allowed in Solo Queue in order to cater to professional players who want to be able to practice duo with their pro-player teammates in Solo Q. The reason that high ranked Duos don't play in Flex instead is that back when RIOT was figuring out if Solo Q would keep duos, players asserted that Flex was not the right competitive environment for them (recall the popular negative perception the community as a whole had towards Flex Q on release).
It seems to me that in Bronze and Silver (during this season), there is no significant difference between Solo Q and Flex Q even though I only ever queue solo in whatever mode I choose. In the Flex Q, I see certain types of coordinated play more often than I see it in Solo Q. For example, most of my Flex games, there is a team invade of enemy jungle on one or both sides and most of my Solo Q games do not have these invades. So if I was on a team and I wanted Duo practice, I would choose Flex Q over Solo Q.
But it could be a different situation for high ranked players maybe? At least that's core claim and the justification for duos in Solo Q. Do I believe it? [sg-lux-2] Ask someone in Challenger, I guess.
