I want to know why a diamond player is able to party up with bronze and silver players in flex queue. This is super stupid and I really do not get why this is in the game. I don't want to sound like a cry baby and say, "It's no fair," but is is not. If it is a ranked game mode, players should all be around the same rank. There is a massive difference between diamond and silver players. Something needs to be done about this if people want to take Flex Queue seriously.
Because so few players actually play the mode, it's hard to get balanced games.
Honestly you're better off playing normals. People seem to try harder there and it's less tilting IMO.
In principle, someone could get really good at team oriented plays and be functionally much better than their solo/duo queue rank would indicate, and vice versa, so using solo/duo rank as a queue restriction factor could result in some unfair situations as well.
It'd also be really weird for a premade 5 to be all the same flex rank and be rocking their way up flex, but then have a teammate rank up/down in solo duo and suddenly no longer be able to queue together.
It also wouldn't change how people still wouldn't take it terribly seriously, so for any given skill level, you'd get a mix of people who are actually trying, and people who are basically using flex to learn new champs and not taking it seriously.
Flex will eventually sort itself out if people play it properly for long enough (if diamond skill players are stomping random silvers, they'll eventually end up diamond flex with an associated mmr), it's more just people don't play it long enough to really get their mmr to settle at their actual skill levels, hence a lot of high skill players with relatively low flex mmrs.
I still think there is no excuse for a diamond player to be in a silver game. It makes no sense. Someone who is diamond in solo should not be able to party up in RANKED with people who are bronze silver and gold.
Welcome to Flex.My every flex game last season was me as silver and rest of my team and enemy was high gold.plat or diamond [sg-miss-fortune] But i dont mind it.Easiest ranked games i ever played.Just staying back and letting diamonds carry me.
