My issue with the "new" matchmaking

Listen, back in the day if you weren't specifically feeling the need to play a certain role you could just search for a ranked game, and then once in the game you could allow your team to dictate what role you were to play, and as long as you weren't last pick if there was any one role you didn't want to play, you could easily avoid playing that role.

There is no parallel to that in today's matchmaking, like I don't mind playing a role that my team needs, but if I choose 'Fill' I ONLY play support, in upwards of 90% of my games... so what is the point of even having the "Fill" option if you basically just get Support.

Like, maybe I feel like playing adc, but I just don't play any ADCs that do well against Jhin, back in the day I could use my pick order to demand a role other than ADC if Jhin was selected, but now, good luck... you are paired with 2 or more kids who would rather take a knife than give up the role they "selected" for a "lesser" one.

If they were going to implement a system that made it more regimented into getting the roles you wanted, and having less contest over them, there is a great system I have in mind:

Random pick order, you pick the role you want the same way you can pre-select a champion now, and then you receive those roles based on that random pick order...

So while yes, you may be less likely to get Mid or Top every game, I am more likely to get to play a role besides support every game, while still helping my team to have a solid game...
