This Queue Doesn't Weigh Primary Role At All

It literally feels like it flips a coin to decide if you get your primary or secondary role.

Unless you queue support. Then it's a two-headed coin.

You f*cking win, Riot. I can't solo queue anymore, because I hemorrhage League Points from dodging or playing a role I'm terrible at.

Yeah, I don't think it does. It's less of Primary and Secondary and more of I Can Go Either it seems.

it depends on what people are queuing up for at that point in time.

I've been waiting nearly an hour for one game.

Queue 1: Five minute wait. Get jungle, someone dodges.

Queue 2: Three more minutes. Get mid, dodge, 5 minute penalty.

Queue 3: Five minute wait, get mid, dodge, 15 minute penalty.

Queue 4: 5 minute wait, get mid, dodge, another 15 minutes.

That's a total of roughly 53 minutes. Now, if we consider games can last 50 minutes if they go hyper-long, that means I'd need to schedule two hours worth of free time for one game. This isn't an isolated incident, and I have to imagine it's even worse at higher elo matches.

On top of the queue not letting my friends and I queue up for the same roles. On top of solo queueing putting me against 4 man premades. On top of horribly imbalanced matches. This is horrendous.

Oh, but why can't I just be more versatile, and be good at my secondary role? Because you know what my secondary role is? Support. I'll ALWAYS get it if I put that. So I have to choose to either gimp myself by always playing my second best role or gimp myself by risking getting a role I both dislike and am bad at.

This is the real issue, there are a lot of people that used to primarily do Mid/Support or Jungle/Support that now can't play their secondary roll because the second you add support or fill to your secondary support is all you are going to get.

On the upside, I've finished three assignments for my calc class waiting for League to give me a single damn game.

Finally got a game. 44 to 12. Sigh. Solo queueing just isn't fun anymore,..

I got the secondary role for the 28th time in a row now, I don't think Rito deserves me to play like an honorable player
