Highest ranked player on the team, should have the toughest role to play
Highest priority to lowest rank
- Bot
- Jungle
- Mid
- Support
- Top
Bot
Toughest role to play right now, items and runes simply are against you. Making a mistake isn't just 1 death, it's usually two.
Jungle
Better jungler wins, everyone can agree here. (Usually whoever has dark harvest wins the 2v2 fights in every matchup/scenario)
Mid
You're essentially playing a 1v2 most of the time, depending who has the better jungler.
It also gives you skuttle control, another reason why I would categorize Mid over support and top, simply because whoever wins this lane gives access to more of the map (objectives, roams, snowballing)
Support
I put support over Top simply because, like I said 1 mistake can result in two deaths, but if you're playing a mage you can essentially 1v2 by blowing up the wave with spells and eventually building up to Luden's to self carry. Or just do some nice roams lol
Top
Top takes skill, but honestly it's just simple wave control and any player can play the champions in top.
They have huge crutches; for example
All can do something, whether it be split pushing, teleport plays or simple just holding the tower lol
I would support every game if I knew my team was a higher rank than me I feel if this change was made to ranked, we would see even faster queue times from such a simple change that . . the game kind of needs.
We already know the ranking system has huge gaps. Why not at least OPTIMIZE it?
