Flex is still a RANKED Q stop your "it's just flex" excuses. (End PSA)

(Begin Rant) I have had so many people use that as an excuse today I'm actually sick of it. It literally says in the game type selection RANKED FLEX. You still earn rewards, you still earn a rank. Just because you queue up with multiple people in this queue type does not mean it's any less of a ranked game mode. Back to back afkers, Vayne's that purposely roll into 1v4's, Ekkos that run it down mid (literally), Invades where my team is afk and give first blood, Invades that turn into 4 man ganks at level 2 in the bot lane. Just like one heaping pile of crap after another heaping pile of crap, consistently. It's getting annoying. If you're going to troll, if you're not actually going to try to win the game... THEN GO PLAY NORMALS. (End Rant)

Saying "its (fill in name of queue)" is no excuse except for special event queues or ARAM. I'm sitting down and commiting 20-40 minutes of my free time to play and win...not sit and listen to someone ruin my game because they feel the queue type doesnt matter.

So, there is something i don't really get here. ( FIY i never play ranked flex )

But, when you queue for ranked flex aren't you playing with friends ? or 4 other people you know, on discord/TS/... ?

I don't get the point to queue for ranked flex 5v5 if you're not in a team of 5 people with vocal chat and so on. Because if you queue for flex 5v5 to play just like solo queue/normals with people you don't know, i really don't get it.

Youre avoiding the issue here, we aren't saying communication is the issue. If youre queueing ranked or any queue for that matter why ever brush it off as if it doesnt matter?

The whole point of Flex is so you can be Flexible in how you queue. You can queue up with friends, or without friends, or even solo. It allows people a second chance with a new MMR pool to try and get end of season rewards, and for people to treat it like they're playing ARAM or a special event queue where the time you put into the game to try and win doesn't matter is baffling.

Oh my bad then i thought it was really focused on wholes teams of 5 communicating with each others.

It's quite alright. I believe that's everyone's first thought when they think about Flex to be quite honest.

I don't think theres anything anyone or Riot can do to force people to take it seriously. Its literally just a renamed Dynamic Que.

I just don't understand why people who aren't competitive feel the need to play the game mode and then use the "it's just flex" excuse for when they get called out for doing poorly or "playing just for fun." There are other game modes for "just for fun." That's why there are several different options. I wish Riot would add report options, otherwise I'll just start sending in support tickets for every game with video evidence.
