With queue times this high, maybe its time to throw in the towel?
Riot has failed to get people to play the support role. Not enough people will voluntarily do it.
For most people, supporting simply isn't fun. No matter what, we just don't seem to have a fifth of he playerbase queuing as supporting. In fact, we dont even get 10% of the playerbase.
Queue times are getting longer and the worst is waiting 5 minutes in queue and then not getting to have fun for 20 minutes because i have to play a role that ISNT fun for the sake of my team.
Maybe its time, and im serious about this, that you just introduced a 4v4 game mode on the rift. Everything the same, just one less person on each team.
When league was in early development it was a 4v4 game. Maybe it should have stayed that way. Yes i know some people like supporting, maybe some people like the idea of a 5v5 more. But for the future of the game maybe its just best to have a 4v4 game mode so we can actually get into games.
Because for what 4 seasons now you've tried to make the support role fun and appealing, and have failed. And it has been sucking the fun out of the game ever since the botlane meta was established.
