Primary: Mid, Secondary: Support. Can I play Mid just once?

I like support and mid. They are my favourite positions.

But I have now played about 25 games with Mid/Support as my roles and 100% of them have been support. I thought it would at least say after a while "Ok, this guy needs some variation, lets give him his primary this time instead", but nope. Support, support, support, support.

Is there a way to only pick Mid/Support as my possible roles but actually get mid for at least one game in ten? Or do I have to actually stop picking support entirely?

I use that setup and I get mid at least a quarter of the time.

How? I've not had it once yet.

Same as this guy. I almost always queue mid/support and get about 20-30% mid and 80-70% support.

Seems like bad luck on your side...

He's on EUW so there's probably a lack of Supports in comparison to NA.

Mid is the highest contested role while support is not. Obviously you will get sup more

Yes, but as it is going I am considering dropping support from my list entirely just so I can mid. Seems counter-productive if they want people playing support.

The thing is I don't want to play Top/Jungle or ADC. So I am literally removing a role I'm fine with (and is apparently needed) just because I seem to be unable to get any variation.

No, it will be up to people to decide. Do you want to play games or wait in a queu? The system is setup to get as many games going as possible. So if you are a mid or jungle then your q is longer than everyone else

I do Support Primary and Mid secondary, because I know Mid is the most contested, so that guarantees Support for my #supportlyfe self.

I'd do Mid Primary and Top Secondary? I guess top is the second most contested.

i have this same problem, and it's quite frustrating.

if you choose support or fill at all, you will get support. I main support anyways, but I have only played adc once in the past 20+ games. Felt weird when I didn't get support that once. I will pick random ones for primary and support for secondary, always get support.

Most don't like to play support so when someone wants to, it gives it to you.

You want a fast queue time, pick support. You are in immediately.
