Randomize role option

Prior to the new champ select, the "fill" option was a pretty random thing. In the old champ select I'd always say "fill" right away to let the team know that I'll go wherever they needed me. Sure I'd end up support ~40% of the time but nothing like it is now. Currently I'm getting support ~80% of the games because I always choose primary fill. My brother who is primary jungle and secondary fill gets support about 90%. These are pretty small sample sizes ~20 ranked games each but I hear this has been an issue for other players as well and may be a widespread thing that is going on.

For me it's not about wait times. I choose fill as I always have for the random factor. I don't want to know what I'm playing prior to going into champ select. I think one way to do this would be "assign role random". While I do think the better option is to get rid of the new champ select, I think this would be a nice compromise for players such as myself who don't want to play the same role every time but also have a hard time choosing which role they'd like to play ahead of time. This way it's totally random what role I play in a given match.

I know I'm just a wood 5 player so I'm not sure if my opinion counts for anything and maybe there are different experiences at the higher divisions in the way of "fill". I'm sure that support is a much more desirable role in the upper divisions when there is better execution and teamwork. Maybe I'm the only one who enjoys all five roles equally.... let me know what you think

It is a issue, and I honestly did enjoy the randomness of the old system as it made me practice every role, and honestly every role I did find rather enjoyable.

Now days I just take five minutes to think before each ranked game. "what am I good at and what would I like to improve?" then that is the role or champion I chose. that is kinda how i do "fill" without putting fill. I suggest you and you're bro start doing the same if you also enjoy playing all roles

Do you have an idea, how the queue system works?

While I'm not a programmer it shouldn't be too hard to add a "random" option next to the "fill" option. It would randomly assign you two of the 5 roles going into the queue.

well yes that would be possible but ... the queue times would increase - drastical...
