Dynamic Queue Should Allow A Single Role to Be Chosen

I don't know how many people will share my opinion, but I know that my friends and I are all in agreement.

Regarding the Dynamic Queue system, I truly feel that Riot needs to make changes, namely allow us to call a single role. As a Mid main, I understand that I play a popular role, so it's no surprise that I am getting my Secondary role the vast majority of the time. What I do NOT understand is why I cannot simply call Mid and wait for a longer queue time. I would not mind that additional time if it meant ACTUALLY getting the role that I want to play. After all, isn't that the point of the Dynamic Queue? Isn't that the point of telling the system what I want to play? In plenty of MMORPGs, you have to wait longer in dungeon queues when you play a DPS class. That is understood and accepted. Why not in League?

I have been playing League since Season 1, and never before have I gotten my preferred role this infrequently. I get Mid maaaybe a third of the time, and when I do get it it's typically because I'm with a 4 or 5 man premade. I truly feel that this is negatively impacting my Ranked performance. Why should I be punished simply because I play a popular role?

TL;DR The DQ should allow you to choose a single role and wait however long it takes, just like in MMORPGs for dungeons.

This would kill queue times in higher elo making it almost unplayable.

There would be so many one-trick-ponies...
