Tbh, Flex is easier than solo Q by far. The mmr is messed up, I mean me and my friend we diamond solo Q and plat III+ flex, we Q up, almost all our enemies are gold and even their flex is not high plat :D some r plat and occasionally they would have 1-2 diamond players. So here is the thing, y would ppl play solo Q when they can get to diamond easier in flex and still get that diamond border?

Even if I solo flex, my enemies would probly be low plat and gold, I can still hit diamond so much easier than solo Q. Is there really a reason to play solo Q when u can climb easier in flex like alot easier? Unless people want challenge and stuff if not then flex is just by far the easy way out for climbing.

Flex is not easier for me tbh. It wasn't so bad but since I hit Silver 1 in Flex queue I keep getting place against Diamond players in pre-mades with Silver friends who they are helping to boost. I just want this last promotion to Gold 5 Flex for the season rewards. Don't like that matchmaking keeps putting me against Diamond players though when everyone else in the match is between Bronze 1 and Gold 4. I know they are separate queues, but I really think Flex should at least take some consideration of a player's solo rating. How am I supposed to climb when I have a Bronze 1 Gangplank going up against a Diamond 4 Renekton in the top lane?
