feel so bad for people like you who think solo queue is going to be some type of saving grace

get ready for quite a surprise buddy

Postol1 votes

Nobody thinks that, it's just flex que is broken champ. Enjoy your solo que without being carried.

I'm ignoring it completely until I get my desired rank in solo queue. Maybe after that I can bother with this.

A Dizzy Lulu4 votes

i literally just made this thread out of sheer boredom and its frontpaged already

guess that the consensus is that flex is pointless

edit: i played 5 games so far in flex, only dropping one game because I laned versus a challenger mid laner (nice matchmaking riot?) and i've just now realized that it was a waste of time considering no one will bother with it when normal ranked is back

lmfao the matchmaking is actually stupid

one game, laned versus a plat 3 guy, and their top laner was gold 2.. rest of their team was low plat... and our jungler was master, i'm diamond 3 along with my support/top and AD

it's not fair at all to them :v

Not really, because it is the same shit with a different name.

Not this renamed dynamic queue.

Why is it solo/duo and not just solo? Can't duos just be in flex?

Do you not realize how cancer that would be?

Even with solo/duo, the amount of uncontrollable losses is off the charts.

I'm quite concerned with everyone thinking solo queue is going to be any better than DQ - the amount of toxicity and trolls is probably more significant than DQ>

Postol1 votes

I can tell from your constant complaints. That you are the reason your team loses.

Talisid1 votes

People who have more than one friend online.

I'll probably jump into it a bit anyway for the rewards.

Reaper Soraka1 votes

There are rewards for both, but rewards for putting up with dyna queue weren't enough for me last season.

We'll see how it goes I guess.

Limmie1 votes

If the comments on this forum are anything to go by, people will just use it to practice and use off-meta/troll/fun builds. Specially of the regions that don't have draft normals anymore.

only playing flex queue rn until solo/duo queue is back up

MysteriousBootie1 votes

Hell naw, it sucks booty. League ranked? More like mario party.

LatetotheRace1 votes

I will, I want rewards. Gotta get those dual $$$$$. Seriously though I will likely play flex to plat, unless it's salty as hell.

the extra reward probably won't be worth it >.>

Well the rewards, and the reset ranks so now I can play with my friends.

ranks aren't reset tho.

tophit1 votes

They've done a soft reset, so players might find themselves lower down than they were before after their promo's, which might mean he can play with friends who used to be higher ranks.

LatetotheRace1 votes

Yeah as a plat, I'm able to play with my silver friends now.

LatetotheRace1 votes

Rank reset was the incorrect term. Flex queue is an entirely different queue, so we all start off the same.

Obungo 1 votes

they are the same rewards as solo queue.

Plus, people will be too busy bitching about solo queue to care.

Unstoppable Monk1 votes

flex seems better than dynamic these toxics are just plain bad why am i getting a bronze jungler

Only Play Darius1 votes

They said there will be special rewards for people who play Flex queue.

Athenes Lulu1 votes

Meanwhile nothing has changed much for people who duo.

Nothing of value would have been lost.

Jad1 votes

Yea I'm ignoring it, I'll just wait for Solo Queue added back. I think I remember Riot saying they were gonna remove it if not enough players were using it (I think).

IWrath1 votes

I'm just playing while I wait for solo. I'm playing it solo anyway and haven't lost yet. 3/3 for the "provisionals"

KVbqbFsC8e1 votes

I sure as hell won't be playing it ever.

CppL1 votes

Well if my friends come back after season 6 disaster ,maybe i play some games in flexQ.

LegendmakerGX1 votes

What I don't get is why the living hell did Riot let Flex rank out first but no solo Q? Shouldn't it be the other way around where people get judge on their own skill first?

Wolf Queen1 votes

Probably cause riot wants people to play flex and go "oh hey this isnt that bad i might stick with this", that way when solo comes out they will still have a player base in flex

Solo queue is cancer.

Obungo 1 votes

Umm Yeah I'll still play Ranked Flex when solo/duo is back. It's miles better in every way, shape and form.

I don't want and will not play solo/duo for the following reasons:

  • Boosted animals who think they're going to do good just because its solo
  • DQ haters who can't accept that they're bad
  • Uncountable numbers of trolls
  • Uncountable number of AFKs
  • Uncountable number of shit players
  • Uncountable number of games that I have no control over simply because of of my lanes is feeding

Like honestly, what's the basis for solo queue being "based on your own skill."

Does no one remember season 5? lmao...

The only reason Riot even implemented DQ was because people were bitching about having no control over their solo queue games due to the ridiculous amount of trolling and just bad players in general.

I'll have fun watching all the DQ haters lose in solo queue and then have nothing to blame besides themselves, then they will finally realize that they are just bad and that DQ didn't actually have any effect on them losing.

At least with FlexI can play the game relaxed knowing that my lanes wont be 0/10 at 15 minutes and flaming.

I honestly just don't understand if everyone forgot how cancer solo queue was.....It doens't matter, DQ haters will just find something else to blame for them being garbage.

Postol1 votes

You forgot "The ability to be useless and have 2-3 of my buddies carry me"

That's why you can't handle solo-que.

I can tell you this much. 100% positive, no one will care about Flex rankings at the end of the season.

Everyone seems to be able to rank up in solo que except for you... Maybe the issue is you.

This whole time I've been playing Flex thinking it was the same as Solo and Duo :(.

Odinakos1 votes

Unfortunetly its the closest to normal draft i can find sooo i just pretend its normal draft with rewards and some sort of weird ranking system. cries in EUNEish

Dextix LT1 votes

Well, in servers such as EUNE where normal draft was removed people will play there, as a practice for the real ranked mode.

Wolf Queen1 votes

Not me, i honestly dont care if i win or lose in flex queue its pretty much just a norm for me, since when solo/duo queue comes out i wont ever touch flex. However there are many people that will still play it for the same reason some people loved dynamic is so they can play with their friends

Rockm Sockm1 votes

The very fact it exists fucks everyone over.

Why the hell is your last seasons MMR now attached to solo que? We should of got the fresh reset and the boosted people will still shit all over soloque.

SlaktarTasken1 votes

They will both suck and I'm not playing any of them.

does 3v3 count?

I'm just glad they got flex on 3v3.
