I have multiple accounts all are high gold or platinum. But the thing I've noticed in Flex while some of my accounts placed high gold or low. The ones that placed silver are having as high or higher mmr games at high silver than high gold of Flex que. Why is this a thing. I'm solo queing flex btw.
WoonStruck2 votesBecause either the plats/gold have shit MMR, or you have really good MMR and are going to skip tiers.
Thrëat1 votesIt is unfortunate, but it is because the queue is new so everyone's MMR was kinda low on it. I don't think they based it off last season's Solo Q MMR I think they based it off of last season's Ranked Team 5's MMR. This is the nightmare that Solo Q would be if everyone was reset to Bronze 5 every season like some people request. By mid season it will start to balance out and next season it will be pretty balanaced. Right now it is not a competitive queue and you have to play it with the same mindset that you use when playing Normal Draft. Honestly it doesn't get any better as you climb the ladder. I hit Diamond in it and still don't get quality games. Sometimes I have silvers on my team against challengers and it feels unrewarding to do well because you know once mid to late game comes around it will be a stomp because of objective control and team fight mechanics.
Crimson Assassin1 votesI'm on a different account never played ranked before. Just got placed silver 3. My team was Gold 4. Diamond 5, Plat 3, Plat 4, and me unranked. Enemy team was Diamond 5, Diamond 5, Diamond 5, Plat 1, and Gold 5.
I placed silver 3 Flex after that last game.
WoonStruck1 votesI don't think people should reset to bronze 5. Just 1200 MMR.
Originally with 1200 MMR reset, the first 10 game held the most weight, then next 15 held a little less, then 25 even less yet. Then it started to normalize after that.
I want that back.
Didn't take long to get above the cesspool if you belonged above it.
That, and there was no arbitrary division/tier system that has even more arbitrary caps.
