The biggest problem I have with the new ranked queue system:

It isn't the atrociously long wait times. I can just listen to music to wait that out.

It isn't the fact that people will just pick Support to get a shorter queue time and then pick something else entirely. I was already expecting that.

It isn't even the fact that this kind of does nothing more than enforce meta and discourages meta-breakers since people will start raging at them before the game even begins.

No. It's none of that. I can tolerate that already since I've always have been and now with this new system it's just more obvious.

It's the fact that I main ADC, have 400+ games on Jinx and over 100 on Tristana , but since I'm willing to take up the role of anyone else who doesn't know how to play and I know I can play somewhat competently I pick Fill as my secondary role and always get shafted into support.

And you want to know what's the most absolute, rageworthy thing that happens 50% of the time? I STILL GET ADCS WHO DON'T KNOW HOW TO PLAY ADC! THEY JUST PICKED IT BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO PLAY ANYTHING ELSE! WHY AM I GETTING SHAFTED INTO SUPPORT BECAUSE I'M WILLING TO TAKE THAT POSITION BUT STILL GET PEOPLE WHO DON'T KNOW HOW TO PLAY ADC EVEN WHEN I PUT THAT AS MY PRIMARY ROLE?!?

End rant.

Just put ADC/mid. Out of WELL over 20 queues, I've gotten mid 4 times. One time the ADC traded with me too.

No i'm not going to do that. Why would I? I'm possibly taking another person's role and essentially doing the same thing that ADC guy is doing.

I pick ADC/Fill because if someone else really can't play anything other than Mid/ADC then I want them in that role so they don't tilt and feed and make it hard as hell to win. Plus why do I want to limit myself to two roles when I SHOULD be able to play in all the roles so that I can understand what is happening and who is winning during laning phase?

The answer to Riot's fucked up system is not to limit myself and feed the fire by doing the exact thing other toxic people are doing. The answer is to have Riot implement a system to make it reportable and punishable to pick a position that you know you can't play in Ranked that way people will be forced to at least learn more than one niche role.

In other words: The consumer is not supposed to fix the product. The Producer is.

I'd argue that's a silly way to approach a queue where everyone picks their 2 best roles to queue up with. The only benefit to fill is that you get a faster queue time, and that's almost always because you'll jg/support.

They've said they do want to encourage mastering all roles in the future. This isn't the final product, but for right now they think this is a better solution than the old queue.

Also, you can't learn a role if you're going to get punished for picking it. [slayer-jinx-wink]

I'll take, What is Blind Pick for 500, Bob.

Other than that I suppose you're right to an extent.

On the contrary, I've had people who picked fill take my primary role and then do horribly at it, what the fuck. rito pls
