The issues with the Que wait and why no one supports
Let me start off by saying that this has been on my mind since a few weeks into the new season.
You jump into a solo Q and you are excited to play. You pick your roles. (Top and Jungle for me). You lock in and start matchmaking. 10 minuets later you get into a game. 15 minuets later that game starts. To me that wait time is outrageous. With how many people that play there is no way it should be that long. YET, If you support it is INSTANT.
This new system of picking your spots has made this season hell for me and I am sure others of you out there. No one wants to support because the cost is too high. Being a Support means you are at the mercy of matchmaking. You have just about NO chance of "carrying" your team. Sure if you get a bad adc you can grab them by the short and curlys and have a chance bot lane. Yet as a support you lose just as much LP as the real carries on your team, I find this unfair and part of the reason no one likes supporting. You get demoted so fast for taking one for the team and supporting. There is nothing going for the support role.
There needs to be a system in place that lowers the LP loss and the chance for demotion when you support and your whole team loses hard.
