Ban from flex, anyone who says "its just flex" or "flex is norms", or any combination of similar. If they dont want to take it seriously, they shouldnt be able to screw the game up for people who are actually trying. there's wAY too many people like this who are just screwing around in flex

i agree with the sentiment that flex play could use some improvements...however do you have any ACTUAL suggestions?

Player A has 150 victory units. They use all of them in ranked, flex, normal, and ARAM. Eventually they are matched with everyone else who contributes 150 victory units in those queues.

Player B has 1000 victory units. They use all of them in ranked, but average just 150 in flex, normal, and ARAM. Eventually they are matched with people who contribute 1000 skill units in ranked, but they are matched with people who contribute 150 in flex, normal, and ARAM.

Player C has 150 victory units. They don't care much about any game mode and contribute just 100 victory units on average in every queue. They are matched with other players who contribute 100 victory units.

If Player B played seriously in those other queues, they would win some games, their MMR would rise, and they'd be matched with better players that no longer include Player A.

If Player C played seriously in all those queues, they would win some games, their MMR would rise, and they'd be matched with better players that now include Player A.


Now instead of Player A playing with people who contribute on average 150 victory units...they now play with people who contribute on average 150 victory units.

What's next? Banning people for saying "Just Norms" or "Just Aram" and eventually "just bots"?

People may say that as a defense mechanism because they are doing poorly.
