FIX FLEX QUEUE - PLEASE

ZeeWolfZ·Mar 23, 2017·1 votes·396 views

I am so TIRED of seeing Silver players in Plat queues in Flex. These scenarios should NOT exist.

How is it possible? I am 3 man queued in Flex with two other Plats and we get Flex queue Silvers who are either Solo Queue bronze or silver as well. Why am I playing with players who are TWO ranks below? IT is not fun. It is not practice for them. I keep facing Full diamond teams or ex diamond or High diamond and watching silvers face those guys is not entertaining. They get obliterated.

Please Riot, I beg of you, Seperate Platinum from Gold/Silver/Bronze because I see these players in my flex queues and it is not fun to Beat them or have them on my team. If they deserve plat, they will climb there on their own with how EASY it is now to rank.

Flex queue MMR is seperate from solo queue MMR. You're looking at people's solo queue rankings. Everyone started with silver V MMR in flex regardless of solo queue rank.

I started with Plat 2 in Flex.

Base MMR before placements is what I meant. Either way, a player can be silver in solo and plat in flex, and that why they're with you

I dunno about this. I went like 7-3 and started in Plat 4 for Flex queue and 6-4 and started in Plat 5 for Solo Q. I was Diamond 4 last season. I am pretty sure Flex went off our Dynamic Q rank just like Solo Q did.

The cool part about how Flex works is it is a lot easier to climb than in Solo q. In Solo Q to get to Diamond I had to actually go against Mid Plats, then High Plats, then Low Diamonds. In Flex Q to get to Diamond I only had to go against maybe a handful of Diamonds, the rest were high Golds to mid Plats. Much easier climb. I think Flex Q is about a full tier lower in skill requirements than Solo. D5 in Flex felt about as easy as getting P5 in Solo.
