Solo in flex is literally the worst thing you can do to yourself

Train To Dead··13 votes·7,860 views

Enough said. I can't get a win cause matchmaking keep throwing me teams filled with golds/silvers while im p1/d5 mmr while going against teams full of diamonds/plats. Unless you get a decent duo or more it's literally no hope lol. Watching these low elo players feed and flame it's just funny.

I guess whatever though, just there to get another chroma. Rants over.

What a garbage mode

I dunno about solo being the worst you can do. I actually love it.

Usually it puts me with a group of 3, who have decent communication with each other via Voice comms - Thereby meaning they're less likely to totally derp. They also are on voice comms - Thereby less likely to start wasting time typing flaming each other.

I've been playing exclusively Solo in Flex for the last few weeks, and been enjoying it immensely. Stop looking at the ranks of everyone before your games and tilting yourself - I've played and won plenty where it was lopsided in the enemy's favor.

Based on how you talk about others, it sounds like you just described yourself(Regardless of your rank.) But I haven't played with you, so what do I know.

Sorry if i'm mistaken...but why the hell flex takes solo q rank as a variable in matchmaking?! shouldn't they be 2 different modes?

They are separate modes, and they do use separate matchmaking without borrowing from each other.

I feel you :( I'm plat 5 in solo and can't even get to silver 1 in flex. It is impossible to win there...

It's better when you're diamond in flex since mostly everyone else is plat-diamond at that elo.

At least that's how most of my flex games are.

I was wondering why I was seeing so many plats mixed with silvers in my games, last game was like 1650 MMR and I'm silver 2.

Remember when solo players had to deal with that for a whole year? Best season ever, I still try to purge it from my memory.

2-7 now and probably looking at a 2-8 for placement... honestly you just can't understand the mentality of bad players. people holding ultimates, people who split pushes without wards, and people do jackshit about wardings.

argh man it's annoying.

Yeah, its real fun trying to climb when you get some 4 man throwing the game intentionally because they just want to mess around and saying, "chill it's just flex".

Like HELL YEAH!!! IMHP the most hated thing ever happened to LoL was dynamic queue, which was essentially the same thing.

No way?

I lost countless hours of time battling against this retarded mode being the only option/way to play ranked in LoL both on the Boards & Reddit even in the fking pre-season.

There were huge, HUGE threads on both platforms clearly presenting the fundamental problems with DQ and all were ignored by riot.

Needless to say that I stopped playing LoL until the time SoloQ was re-introduced.

I don't know what most of you are talking about.. I got from Bronze 2 to Silver 4 in literally 3 days by myself in flex.. like, does it get difficult?

Sad part is, my team is trolling and I'm actually tryharding XD

I can't even get Platinum in solo queue yet I get gold in every single queue, logic.

I havent actually been able to play in a while, but I climbed a decent amount solo in flex pretty much only playing Sona, and I didn't honestly find it that bad.

What i think is that if you get a certain rank in flex, it doesn't count. I mean for me flex is just normals with Lp, they should remove it
