ABOUT FLEX SYSTEM

Sheø··1 votes·429 views

Riot, you have to seriously take under consideration that flex matchmaking system.. last game i had in team top lane talon bronze3, mid lane akali bronze2, support braum silver 4, me adc gold1 (plat previous seasons), jungle rengar gold3 (plat previous season) versus enemy team top lane yas plat5, mid lane karma plat5, support leona gold5, adc ashe silver5, jungle trynda plat2.. so here is the story.. top and mid got literally raped very early with a camp from their jungler.. sadly our jungler tried to keep both mid and top but it was an obvious mismatch.. these lanes were free for enemy, so mid and jungle were camping bot and secure that ashe wont lose it but even if they had left her alone and i destroyed her after all me alone as adc i had no chance to do anything against them while our other plat (rengar) was zeroed trying to help those 2 lanes.. for this season it's too late.. but you must fix this for next season and make it to matchmade based on your solo/duo elo.. it's unfair for me to have bronzes in my team.. many times i had unrankeds too.. obviously i had the bad luck for them to be against others plats and get fed like hell and losing games like this..

You're being very deceptive. You listed everyone's Solo/Duo ranks except for Ashe's and Leona's ranks because their Flex ranks were higher than their Solo/Duo ranks. What you should actually be looking at is everyone's Flex 5v5 ranks and be paying no attention whatsoever to their Solo/Duo ranks. Solo/Duo ranks don't matter when it comes to Flex 5v5 matchmaking. Only the Flex 5v5 ranks do.

The actual match:

BlueRed
Yasuo Silver IIITalon Unranked
Tryndamere Gold IIIRengar Silver II
Karma Silver IIAkali Unranked
Ashe Silver VLucian (You) Silver I
Leona Gold VBraum Silver II

Now that looks pretty fair.

If you are "high" on flex but you can't be on ranked solo/duo then you probably deserve nothing as a player.. flex is really depended on luck, either if you will have a low player as opponent, if a premade of 3 will carry you, etc etc.. if you are really so good you shouldn't be on solo/duo silver5 and on flex gold for example.. considering only the flex ranked doesn't prove that i am equal with ashe, talon, akali, braum.. my current ranked solo/duo is gold1 and from times to time i've played with diamond opponents.. you can't be serious to put those 4 i mentioned in the same level with me just because flex placement system put me on silver 3 as my starting division.. after all i could not expect a serious reply from a guy who's been silver in season 5,6,7.. and sorry to break it to you but i didn't intend to hide anyones level.. only leo's was mistaken.. but ashe from bronze1 to silver5 there is no difference at all.. you are just trying to be an asshole and a smartass

I'm going to ignore the personal attacks and say again that the only thing that flex matchmaking cares about is your Flex MMR. If your Flex MMR is bad then you are going to be matched with worse people.

i don't care for what this fail af system cares about.. there is no possible way you can think that as a plat i can be considered equal to silvers.. IF you remember riot had announced that this years elo will be lower (for their own reasons), i played the placements and i had something like 5/10 and placed me as a starting elo silver.. there is no way that someone would stop me from climbing which i did later on.. but that starting cancer..... man.... riot surely knows how to give the cancers to her players.. BUT, you, the season5,6,7 silver player don't think that you can have equal opinions with me.. the fact i am every season plat from season3 til now and you always a silver there is a good reason for it.. don't think that you can equally talk to me and give me instructions.. get over it bronzer.. the most important ranked is the Solo/Duo and this is how it should be based the other 2 ranked systems.. because playing with a team which communicates most of times you can be carried easier than you could on flex 5vs5.. but playing in solo/duo with randoms, no communication via skype, etc.. this is where it comes for you to prove yourself..

If you don't care about what the system takes into account, then you are just lying to yourself. The system takes into account your Flex MMR, not your solo/duo MMR. Despite you being a proved prodigy at solo/duo queue, you still need to show you're an excellent player in Flex 5v5 queue too.

You were Silver I. You got matched in a high-Silver MMR game. Yes, I realize that you're better than that. But you have to climb to show that you are in fact better than a Silver. If you don't climb, then you're showing that you belong in the Silver rank and that you are in fact not good enough to let your team win.
