maybe it's time to put down the flex ranked?

flex it's the reason why we are auto-filled and why the queues are long

this game cannot afford to have two ranked queues on top of queuing for granted roles

supporting is not very popular, but it is still popular enough not to have auto-fill with only one ranked queue

nobody likes flex, people on eune use it instead of draft normals which they lost (and they lost them for the same reason that this game cannot afford normal drafts together with two ranked queues on some servers), flex is considered a joke

if players want to play ranked with a bigger pre-made than two like in solo/duo, they can always make a full team of five

dynamical ranked/ranked flex was proven to be a bad idea and it already hurt this game a lot already, it should be get rid of

Jesus freaking christ. You cant satisfy everyone. Every thread is about people crying over this. Guess what. I queue as mid/support. The longest I have to wait is 3 mins.

You want to remove flex? So for example, people on eune would have blinds and solo/duo. So it's either fighting and flaming to get the role you want, or competitive play.

If you dont want to play flex, play solo/duo, we have the best of both worlds.

Seriously, if i worked in riot i would lose my mind ages ago because of you whiny little kids. Stop complaining over every single freaking thing.

"Nobody likes flex" Lots of people actually enjoy it since you could climb from bronze to gold with friends and then you can also solo q when you feel like it. "Dynamic que/flex que was already proven to be a bad idea", it was only bad because it was also it the same ladder as people who enjoy solo q but ended up being placed with a group of 4 friends instead of 5 solo players.

You've got it backwards, it's time to kill solo ranked and support people playing together as a team.

Lots of folks like it. Give it a fair shot at thriving first. If it fails, it fails and can go away then. It's too early to tell though

The only thing that's a problem with flex queue is what happens when you go in solo, just because you're not quite ready to jump onto soloqueue itself just yet, and the premade doesn't even look at chat.

Had a game the other day where i was playing Anivia, and we had a lee sin jungle. I shoved my opponent out of lane, and was at lv 5, just about to roam down and gank bot. Ally double-kill. "Great job, guys. Let's get drag." It was a water dragon, I think, which is awesome for Anivia.

My lane's already shoved up, Talon's nowhere to be seen, so I walk down to drag pit. Full health ADC starts recalling, and Lee sits in the bush near mid lane for a good 20 seconds. By the time he moves down, I have to head back into lane because Talon is shoving the wave.

We could have had a free dragon, but instead, the trio queue refused to listen to someone outside of their group.

not everyone has a full team of 5 and this solves that problem. i feel that ranked will be better this season since there is flex AND solo/duo (which was the main complaint about dynamic)

i kind of believe this may eventually not happen...

you should realize that till flex is gone we are stuck with auto-filling, longer queues and a rampant dodging/trolling hoping that somebody else dodges
