Jungle Queues

I've been a supporter of the new system in place since the beginning. A lot of heat was received from that point obviously but I felt the ability to queue with 2 roles was very useful and eliminated some of the grief in the lobby about who would go where. Obviously the problem hasn't been completely solved nor could it really without dramatically increasing queue times if a single position queue was put into place. My issue is with how often I'm placed into my secondary role in relation to the popularity of that specific role. Now, before somebody goes off about how the old system was even worse and sometimes or maybe in some cases quite frequently one would be forced to play their least favorite role. I'm with you on that. However, as this system is in place now, it's important to look at the issues as they appear. I am a jungle main with quite a bit of experience in the role as it takes up about 60% of my games since season 4. I was primarily a support player prior to season 4 dating back to the beginning of season 2. I usually select my secondary role and mid lane not so much because I am a skilled mid laner but rather because it is probably the most common queued position in the game and I very much want to play jungle. If I were to queue as support for my secondary I would get it 80% of the time. That being said, I don't mind the change of pace. What I do however take issue with is the frequency in which I am given my secondary role. I am currently writing this message after going through my entire promos getting only my secondary role. That's an issue. Riot has stated some things in the past about this but it wasn't very clear at least to my knowledge what the plan was going forward. I wouldn't mind a 10-15 minute queue time if it meant i could get my primary role most games. So what I suggest is possibly adding a feature that changes your queue launch when you are in a promo series. It would give you the option of only choosing 1 position to queue for so that you are guaranteed a specific role if you wish.
