Solo/Duo is a clown fest and Flex is way more coordinated

I'm starting to think Solo/Duo queue is not worth it because it's every man for himself in that queue and it's the Sat/Sun where it's the worst, everyone is either where they should/shouldn't be... and it's just early game 1 sided stomps and no one really wants to work together. In flex it's totally different you have decent players or really good players and sometimes trolls or poo players and games can be very balanced if people make mistakes they can always come back, not to mention it's not entirely randomized to the point where games have entirely different playstyles

My experience is exactly the opposite flex games all seem to turn into troll fests and clown fiestas im s1 in solo duo with a 64% win rate in flex i can't get out of b3 because it seems like every game has at least one troll on my team honestly i went 17-1-1 and got inhib before 15mins (as j4 if it matters) and because my bot lane was troll we still lost the game. by then end of this nightmare i had 28 of our 41 kills and had 9 assists that's a 90% kill participation and it was still uncarriable. The best part is I don't think thats the biggest throw i've had happen in the last two of three days in flex. The point being that flex is (in my experience) just a huge shit show of mismatches (an example is a gold plat bot lane vs a bronze bronze bot lane) and trolls and really puts a spotlight on how poor riots matchmaking can be.

Golds/Plats/Diamonds aren't really all that difficult to lane against, sure some of them are good at laning but you can always call your jg to get the upper-hand and if not go roam and secure kills (note you can't win 100%). Diamond/Plat players should be good at laning and cs but sometimes they are terrible because they don't ward or use their advantage to help other lanes hell I think some of them don't even deserve their rank and they probably just sat at their rank and played one every few weeks or months

True but i'd take the team with the plat gold bot lane over the team with a bronze bronze bot lane every time and if you put a plat 5 player next to an silver 1 player and ask me who will win i'm going pick the plat player every time. But that wasn't the point of my response to your post it was that i have had exactly the opposite experience of you when i comes to solo/duo vs flex I've seen flex as nothing but a clown fiesta pinata filled with trolls and poor match making.
