Why I HEAVILY prefer Solo/Duo over Dynamic queue/Flex queue

Even though Solo/Duo queue ranked is a more toxic experience, you know you EARNED your elo through hardwork and pure skill. You either had the mental fortitude to persevere through the toxicity or you, at least, adapted your surroundings to become toxic in order to survive the wilderness that is Solo/Duo ranked. Every game, the environment was different and the rules to win changed but you knew you had to improve yourself in order to climb higher up the ladder. THAT is a testament to your skill as a player. THAT is what makes the difference between a Dynamic/Flex queue premade player and a Solo Queue player.

yes however you could always have your diamond 2 friends smurf account as a duo with you and crush every game.

That sort of thing is a self-fulfilling prophecy. If you tell yourself people there are toxic, you'll be more likely to perceive neutral activity as toxic. So stay happy! You might have more fun queuing with more friends, but that's because they're friends, not because more strangers means more toxicity. (Lots of toxic players have friends!)

Also applies to Dynamic/Flex Queue :/

This post makes no sense. The game doesn't change. It's still a 5v5 on SR. Someone who can get to Gold in Flex can also do it Solo/Duo. Two ranked queues like that is redundant and unnecessary if you ask me. It's literally the exact same game.

Solo/Duo is more toxic than Flex?

Oh... oh my... I think I just threw up a bit in my mouth just now...!

Right, and playing as a team requires no skill, no coordination, no nothing, winning just happens automatically, right?

That's a lie. The amount of low level friends that I helped get gold that would never have gotten it without dynamic is absurd considering I know a vast majority of people do the same for there's. Also I played about 90 percent of my games solo on my main and the amount of games I had no control over cuz of either awful duos and trios or really good enemy trios who worked together to shut me down makes an awful experience of solo q players. Flex q will always casual/boosted q
