Make sure that the gold players are on the enemy team and the "high" dia players are on your team. I haven't quite mastered this at the moment so it's fair that I'm still losing some games!

Mamma always said: "don't lose".

That's pretty easy to do, 3 steps :

Make a group with 4 challenger friends.
Ask kindly to anyone higher than gold to disconnect from league of legend.
Start a queue.

You're a genius!

Make a youtube video out of this.

But no one cares about flex as a queue. Riot's canning the whole thing soon.

Need double diamond before that happens!

Hey cool, good luck! If I find you on Taliyah I'm going to camp you though. :P

No they aren't.

chipndip1May 10, 20172 votes

Yes they are. The whole point of the queue was to try to bridge the gap between pro play and ranked play, but everyone hated it because you could have uneven premades on either team. Riot said they have a new idea in the pipeline, so with that said, it's only a matter of time before they chunk Flex Queue. It's literally good for nothing. I got my double Gold+ reward...for anything else Flex is useless, but that's the community perception making it so, not it itself.

Hmm that's a funny joke cause it was never meant for that. If it was to "bridge a gap" between pro and ranked then there'd be the actual fact of regular players playing WITH pro players and untop of that, that would be a horrible joke. It was meant to be a different take on the old ranked teams.

They are not getting rid of it. If they are, where's the proof?

chipndip1May 11, 20172 votes

That's literally EXACTLY why they made Flex. Riot's gone over it again and again how they want LoL to be more like a team sport than an individual gig where you play with bags of meat on your "team". Flex was their first attempt at this during season 6, back when it was Dynamic Queue. Regardless of the queue's actual effect on the game, everyone hated it. Better choice of words, they DESPISED it. They turned it into a side show now. Riot's on record saying they're working on a new way for us to play with friends on a more competitive level, seeing how Flex failed to deliver on that.

LoL isn't going to split its player base that thin between a ton of queues. If that new idea Riot's working on actually pans out (for once), Flex is gonna go to the way of the dodo...or the team builder...>_>

Dunno i only get from D3 to Rank 10 challenger player in d3 flex que. In d5 flex que i'd get a bunch of plats tho lol

MyrmironMay 10, 20171 votes

I'm Plat 1 in Flex and I get anything from Silver 1 to Challenger 600LP. But lately I have been getting a lot of gold players on my team versus Dia 3+ players on their team. Always a fun time!

Nice try. Problem is that rank=/=skill. Diamond players that get matched against Gold players tend to be boosted.

MyrmironMay 10, 20171 votes

So all the gold players in theese games just have a bad game and don't get completely outclassed by the Diamond 3+ players stomping them? I don't think you understand how big the skill gap between Diamond 5 and Diamond 3 is, let alone Diamond 3 and Gold or even 600LP Challenger and Diamond 3. And yes, I have gotten 600LP Challenger players in my Flex Queue as well as Gold 5 players. It's a magical place.

DuskDaUmbreonMay 11, 20171 votes

Rank has ~~nothing~~ little to do with how you're matched. You know what matters? MMR. MMR is decided by how well you do. If a Diamond 3 player is being matched against a Gold player, either the Diamond had abysmally low MMR (and was likely boosted) or the Gold had stupid-high MMR, and likely is either a smurf or never played ranked before.

"rank =/= skill"

must be desperate to convince yourself that you are anything but bronze

DuskDaUmbreonMay 11, 20171 votes

Never said anything of the like. I have about 50 ranked matches in total, including last season (when I started ranked), so it's not a very good gauge, but I'll admit I'm in Bronze 3.. Either way, my MMR is high enough that I only lose ~12 points on a loss, and I gain about 27. Now, I'm no expert, but it seems to me that I'm more skilled than my current division would indicate. Ergo, I prove my own point that rank and skill are not the same.

Also, dishonor on you for disgustingly rank-shaming.
