@Matchmaking: Flex Queue - Take soloQ Rank In Account

Me (flexQ platinum 2), and a friend of mine (flexQ platinum 3) went into a flexQ game. We both have over 300 flex games played btw. This is what our bot lane looked like:

And the enemy got this mid: https://imgur.com/Mcc9Y0u

All three of them are flexQ unranked. But it's blatant, that they are far from equal. You can guess how the game went (especially when our bot lane got matched against soloQ diamonds on their lane).

We weren't even mad on these guys on bot. It wasn't their fault the game was 3v5. This is purely matchmaking's fault. https://imgur.com/kJQ7oLT (Yes, it's Zoe supp)

Exactly lol , I remember in my Eune account I played in flex against the Rank 5 challenger Fizz OTP , his name was like Fizz Can't carry or something , just because his flex rank was gold 5

Lol I actually know that guy, he's from our country, and yeah, he is challenger OTP fizz xD.

This happened to me too, enemy mid was diamond solo but he was gold flex, so it was "equal" since I was silver 2.

The que is a complete joke. I have no clue on why people whine about it on forums since you know that the que is balanced. P1 flex que rank people match with challenger flex que players. If riot would make the matchmaking based on your soloq rank there will be 0 games in challenger going on. Only reason I would play the que is to get easy rewards or abuse 5 man stack.

Flex is a joke. Flex should be duoque and soloque should be solo only. Half the problems would be fixed then. And bring back Ranked 5s for those that wanna play as a team.

Totally agree with the soloQ and ranked 5s. When it comes to flexQ, it's a bit complicated :/.

I just think that 3/5 people in a team being premades fks up both the MMR of the triple que and the team dynamics too much

True.

That will just lead to more unbalanced teams. flex is fulll of high level solo queue players who are doing troll builds and playing at a much lower level.
