Why I dislike flex ranked...

ok, so I'm Silver 1 with an MMR in range of Gold 5 & 4's. I play Flex 5 only to be placed in Bronze. Ok, fine whatever. But I'm not playing against BRONZE players, I'm playing against GOLD 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 players. Most of my games are all Gold and very little Silver if any. So, how does it make sense to place me into "Bronze" but force me to play against Gold? How the hell am I supposed to climb out of "Bronze" if I can't even play against Bronze or Silver people? I jumped from Bronze 4 (first placement), to Bronze 2 after my series. Now I'm on a losing streak and frustrated because if I'm Bronze, I should be playing Bronze. But if it is putting me against Gold's, it should have at LEAST placed me in high Silver.

THIS MAKES NO SENSE RIOT. It is so unfair.

Because promos will cause you to skip 2 divisions each time if you actually belong in gold or higher.

Many of the 'gold' players you're facing were likely boosted after flex, or were boosted last season so they got a gold border.

If they aren't, you'll basically be moved to silver after your next promo series.
