Dynamic Queue, AKA why you always get Support

Lost R··2 votes·776 views

Simply put, supply and demand. Support is the least desired role out of any other by a titanic margin. The same thing happened back during Team Builder, to a much more extreme degree. Want to know why people went to Team Builder? So they didn't get delegated to support by not calling X role fast enough. If you wanted to be support, you had almost NO problem finding a vacant spot under most circumstances in normal queues. So why go to a game mode designed to get you what you want if you never have problems finding an empty spot in the first place? The few times I went into Team Builder, I found a team within ten seconds. Meanwhile I read how everyone else had waiting times of up to twenty minutes or more. Funny enough, these same people will complain about the support that falls into the queue and kick them almost immediately.

"Nami's a fuckin' trash tier."

That's like dying of thirst and then turning down water because it's not Perrier. If you are upset about the long queue, you don't get to be picky about whatever falls into your lap.

Well, now Dynamic queue is a thing, but we're still dealing with the same community. Nobody wants to be support, and the queue time is not as dreadfully long as it used to be, but people who want to support still have no problem finding a queue, even those who didn't intend to be one. You even hint at the idea that you are willing to be support by putting it or fill in the secondary role, and you're gonna spend time in that accursed barrel. Again, very limited supply, yet so much demand.

Now whose fault is that? It isn't Riot's fault; if anything, supporting is (supposedly) easier than it ever has been with dedicated support items and now a build path to combine the support item with the Sightstone. On top of that, they now have additional support items to help their team out. The problem comes from all of you out there. You treated the support role like complete shit. You treat them like they are only useful as a ward mule and the scapegoat for any inadequacies you begin to feel, that ANY problems that occur in the game is automatically the support's fault, no matter how impossible that might actually be. "Top lane lost horribly? That mother fucking support!" If that wasn't bad enough, you belittle them all the time. You act like the support role, no matter who they pick, is completely inconsequential and has no menace or impact on the game or their team, when in reality they might be one of the most pivotal roles in the entire game. You just conveniently forget that because you take them for granted, even as you've been sitting in Dynamic Queue for the past five minutes waiting for one to drop in.

It's my secondary simply because of OCD. From left to right, it's second last on the list, so my chosen roles need to be selected right to left as well. And as I've said before, supports still have no problems finding their role. A slow queue for us is five seconds.

Left to right. Right to left rolls off the tongue too easily.
