Is there any thought about drafting team's positions rather than individual players?

With the rise of teams like Apex or Cloud 9 with 10-man rosters, or even just single-swap positions like Origen's mid last season or G2's now, does Riot have any plans of changing it from drafting individual players to entire positions within the team? Right now Apex is nearly undraftable (save a few positions) just because there's too high a risk of them being swapped out. The same applies to Cloud 9's dual supports and G2's dual top laners, among others I'm sure. Would this break FLCS or just make it a bit more fair?

Same thing exists in fantasy football with things like dual running backs. You have to draft for value, in this case, people who play every game. I don't think it takes anything away from Fantasy LCS and adds some fun surprises to the game if you take the gamble.

I completely agree... I started G2 Top lane yesterday and I was unaware of the substitute... This happened last year to Impact last year too...
