I'm plat 3 in flex (after 10 games last season and 10 games this season), but only gold 5 on solo.
Why do people only count the solo-ranking when talking about how good you are? I don't find it hard to climb solo, but REALLY hard to climb on Flex.
Dynamic Queue. It was the sole ranked mode in Season 6. It caused lots of players to leave.
Since Riot refused to admit it was a mistake, they made it Flex queue and reintroduced solo queue. However, due to the loss of players, they couldn't just bring back 5's either. So this was the end result.
Because Solo Duo is the real ranked Flex is just boneless ranked and it's a lot easier to get boosted in flex
i reached Plat in flex for the first time this year. I felt a much larger sense of accomplishment in Flex vs the first time i hit Plat in Solo queue. I think Flex is much more difficult as well, it requires coordination, communication, and you are able to effectively utilize different team strategies and play styles, meanwhile solo queue is just a circus.
