My boyfriend started checking the peoples ranks that we were playing with and against in flex que because something seemed to be up. Some game it just seemed like one lane would completely stomp another, and there was nothing that could be done about it. Well it turned out that a plat 5 facing a bronze 5 may not be the most fair thing. These people we are playing with maybe silvers, golds, bronzes in flex que but then in solo/duo que they are actually plat or diamond and that's fine for him and I to fight against but pretty ridiculous for the bronze on our team to fight against.
It just doesn't feel right for everyone on the team to be in "silver" in flex but really they are no where near silver in solo/duo que. The skill gap between bronze to plat is pretty large and I really think the flex que ranking should be affected by it (and I kind of think that the diamond players looking to just stomp noobs should have their fun squashed, go pick on someone your own size!). I would figure that this would already be in the works because I doubt my bf and I are the only ones that noticed the drastically solo/duo que ranks of the people all playing together. I also think changing this may make people take it more seriously. I'm not really sure why but there seems to be this idea that flex que doesn't matter (even though we are supposed to get more rewards for getting gold in both) and bringing it to a more even playing field should help change this thinking. It seems like far too often people give up before really trying when things are too difficult and I guess the drastic difference in ranks is one of those things. Hopefully this change would make flex que a better experience, because right now it is a pretty begrudging task, one that I just want to get over with instead of actually enjoying the experience (& doubt that is very healthy for the game!). I hope the rewards are worth it and that next season we get to see a more even playing field!
