Main JG. I have not gotten anything else in over 200 games. The jg is so bad that nobody wants to play it so you'll always get it.

How to avoid an autofilled support

Duo queue with a Support main.

Jungle - competes with support for being the least popular role and complaints of little satisfaction from its mains despite its large champ pool and lots of influence on the map

Rito game - this is not only fine, but damned good game design, let's keep it this way for a few seasons

Honestly as long as you don't queue mid you'll almost never get filled. When you do, it'll be rare enough that you can dodge whenever it happens.

Would rather douse myself in unleaded gasoline, light a match, and run into a grizzly bear enclosure than play jungle.

Ah yes. Avoid a role in which you are chained to one random stranger to whom you are eternally beholden lest you be flamed into a pile of smoldering slag. Instead, lets move to the role that chains you to... Four... Random strangers intent to blame you for each and every misplay of theirs (and flame you into a steaming pile of smoldering slag).

I am a jungle main, but I am seriously considering trying to find a new home. I can't afford the stress of queueing up as your friendly neighborhood viet-cong, it has simply never felt so thankless and unrewarding.

Jungling feels awful right now. Jungle EXP changes have had the opposite effect from what was intended, and push only the gank-heavy, less level reliant junglers into the spotlight. Champions that are inherently feast/famine and either dominate early or fade into utter obscurity.

In a solo lane, if you are behind, you can roam, farm, focus, or in some other way stop the bleeding.

Find yourself behind in jungle and you will quickly be out-leveled by the support, and judged many times more harshly by your team members, who are justifiably upset that their jungler is about as useful as a bag of rocks with thumbs.

It should be noted that there is middle ground somewhere between "The jungle rewards skill" and "If you do not play perfectly, you have doomed four people to a 15-20 minute beating" Riot!
