Is climbing on FlexQ playing solo harder than solo in SoloQ?

ThePikol··2 votes·477 views

A lot of people say "don't play solo on Flex" or simply don't treat Flex as seriously and don't try as hard as on SoloQ. So is it harder to climb there playing solo?

yea I'd say so...

As someone who's played flex exclusively solo I can tell you the following:

  1. Playing solo means that you can be 2 solos and a trio or 5 solos vs a full 5- this gives you a distinct disadvantage

  2. Most players view flex as just another normal draft mode and either troll pick or play someone they've never played before and then when they do poorly they say " meh, it's flex"

  3. Flex q has it's own MMR which means that you might not be matched with people actually at your level. This means you could potentially have a bronze 5 top with a diamond support but lose to a team of golds and plats or something similar

You can probably keep trying though and you can potentially run across a good group that will want to include you in their games in the future, or keep trucking it on your own and hope for the best but solo in flex is ultimately infinitely more tilting/frustrating than normal solo q.

Yeah, I know and experienced all that. I climbed solo to Gold in Flex to get reward at end of season. Now I'm trying to do the same on SoloQ and was wondering what people think. Glad I'm not the only one who thinks this way

Why does Jinx get 3 more emotes? She already have 2. Why not make something for other champs?
