How do mid mains handle matchmaking?

Seriously i'm just unable to play mid, i just want to play Taliyah, but i keep getting filled to my secondary role. Out of over 15-20 queues (some were dodges) i was placed mid only THREE times, despite mid being my primary role.

I don't mind playing my secondary roles every few games, but i would REALLY love to be placed mid, but matchmaking is freakin broken to the point that it's sickening. I want to play this game for fun, but i'm not even allowed to play what i want at least a decent amount of time. I understand the purpose of matchmaking, but this is going too far.

Mid seems to be the most contested role, so i was wonderring how midlaner mains handle the shitty matchmaking. I've noticed that mid secondary top yielded the best result... but even then i'd be matched top more often than mid.

There really should be a system that increases your chance to roll primary when you played secondary, much like how you get auto-fill protected after filling.

Weird, I prolly play mid 11 times, jungle 8 times and support once over a 20 game spawn if i que up Mid/Jg

I queue as Mid and Bot.

Solo queue I get put Bot about half the time, but in Ranked Flex it's maybe 1/10 times.

I personally do Mid/Support. I find doing that with auto-fill protection, it tends to give me mid lane often.

I do mid/sup. Usually get mid.

Lately I have been doing mid/bot though cause I want to play certain characters.

Out of my last 20 games (ranked and normal draft) I got mid in about 15 games, Top in 3 and autofilled in 2.

Maybe EU has a more balanced playerbase considering roles?

I get mid a majority of the time I queue for it. You're just unlucky.

You can take taliyah top with some success though. Back when she was at her strongest, she had the 2nd or 3rd highest winrate top with a decent amount of play there.

I usually try and space out the times I queue up by a couple minutes. If I get a queue pop and I accept but someone else doesn't, I immediately stop my queue wait like 10 seconds and then requeue so I get different people and another chance at getting my role and not getting autofilled. Usually works, I mainly queue up Mid/Top.

Find someone else to play if you can't get mid

I queue up for mid/top and I would say out of 10 games I get mid 8 or 9 times.

If I don't get mid, I usually dodge because I am the best mid on my team usually.
