Riot Socrates on Odd Placements in Flex

Hey Guys,

since Riot Socrates made a statement about the FlexQ fixes but some of them were on reddit, I wanted to conclude them all!

Hey all,

We are aware of the issues with match quality and odd placements in flex. We have put a short term fix in place that should fix some but not all players MMRs. Unfortunately, to fix all players MMRs and correct the issue that's causing players to be seeded incorrectly will require a downtime event.

We are working through the best way to roll this fix out and you can expect additional details in the coming week.

The current fix only removes the problem on affected players who haven't placed yet!

It finds players who are out of whack who haven't placed yet and corrects them. Doesn't fix players who already placed into leagues and a few other cases.

They try to fix it for all players but they still think about the details!

We will correct everybody. In order to do that requires downtime, a new patch, a some other special case coordination which we are still working out the details of. The temporary fix corrects the players we can in the meantime.

I'll try my best to keep it updated!
