Why do people think flex is just norms?

I get real aggravated by people who think that flex is just norms. I am gold in solo/duo and it would be great if i can get there in flex as well. Am i missing something here or are people just trolls when it comes to flex?

A lot of people troll in flex. Or they try new roles/champs.

Flex is taken less seriously than norms

Why should anyone care about flex when Solo/Duo is seen as the superior ladder?

You shouldn't even have any problems climbing considering this is how most people treat it, and you're not playing vs solo queue Plats/Diamonds+ in your games since those players should all be in flex diamond+ by now.

Because nobody holds any stakes in flex when you can 5 man cheese to diamond.

It’s basically draft with a yearly chroma

MM Quality takes more hits in flex so players get salty.

They also grade off Solo/Duo Titles to judge how "Fair" a flex match is. Look at how many people whine about X rank in their Normal games and OMG WTF RITO!

The concept of independent rating by que type Is just lost on some people sadly.

Because people don't play Flex as their primary ranked queue and since MMR is seperate to soloQ the match-making in flex is horrible. I'm plat 4 in flex, I've seen full diamond/plat games since I was low gold in flex like this game at gold 3 ( https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/299020395649040384/609403919738601475/unknown.png ) and as a result, the competitive quality of flex is about the same as it is in normals.

I play flex to play against better players than I get in normals when I'm learning champions or trying builds and such. It doesn't have much value beyond that.

Why do people think norms are tournament matches? Why do people think blinds are ranked matches?
