Flex Queue is exceedingly toxic

I don't know what it is about Flex, that there's a lot of lower level players in the mix, or the huge disparity of skill level in each game (bronze vs plat lanes wat), but the atmosphere is so toxic it is hard to enjoy the game. Even the other team is usually very boastful and unsportsmanlike and if you don't do something a queued group wants they start flinging insults at you. Often their judgment isn't good because they are just lower ELO players so when I don't do something there's a good reason for it, I want to win. (Things like you will lose a turret anyway but they're made you didn't ALSO feed the other team a kill to go with it).

I don't know what can be done about it but I'd at least like to draw attention to the fact, thanks.

Plat is supposedly the worst for toxicity but all my plat games are pretty tame at least lately. Flex queue always has Don Quixote attacking windmills and blaming you for it then getting their Sancho Panza to team up and flame you too just really unpleasant :(

Interesting thought for you: all those people you are complaining about in flex que will make babies. Those babies will behave the exact same way.

I can attest to the bronze vs plat lanes being a thing. Its either funny or horrifying depending on which team you are on.
