Flex and Solo/Duo aren't that differentiated.

I don't know where to put this in boards, so whatever.

Ahem:

I really, really love that Solo/Duo and Flex are supposed to be different and offer different experiences, but I'm not seeing much evidence of that- Solocarry ideas seem just as present (and successful) in Flex queue. I would like to see Riot maybe provide incentives to help, but I don't know what kind might work w/o interfering with gameplay either by perverse incentives or some other problem. In addition, off-meta picks seem really prevalent for some reason in Flex (Note that I do not condemn off-meta as long as it works, but I'm honestly confused.) I'm aware I'm not a good player in general, but it seems things are really wacky. Is it just because it's a new queue and MMR's aren't sorted out, or is there something else? I don't know.
