Flex queue:::: 5 man vs 3 solos and 1 duo– seriously?

I have played a lot of flex queue as a solo player this year, mostly because I enjoy beating my head against the wall expecting something to change for the better. The matchmaking is mostly one sided, the games are often decided by 15 minutes or earlier, I get camped on a regular basis as a mid, and I often have to deal with my own team that is doing their own thing together while I am trying to figure out what they are doing. I obviously can tolerate these things because I have played a lot of flex queue, but in the game I played last night I think that my tolerance for this queue has finally been met.

I saw in the loading screen 4 names with the same club name, then I realized that 4 man queues are not allowed so it had to be a 5 man premade. After looking them up on Op.gg, it is confirmed.

Seriously, a 5 man premade vs 3 solos and a duo? Regardless of the MMR/ rank/ skill, this is just straight BS and I cannot understand how this is even allowed. FF@RITO PLS

Who's to say the other players were 1 duo and 2 other solos?

op.gg only looks at your most recent 20 games to determine who you've played with. If you play with someone less frequently than that you wouldn't show up on that list. Additionally, nothing stops you from queuing up with people you've never queued up with before, and that's often the case for friends from school or work.

Yes seriously. Flex que is literally just a renamed Dynamic que.
