Fx secondary role (support)

Support players will ALWAYS get support, and if you have support as your secondary, you will never see your primary role ever. I am primarily a jungler, and i don't play playing adc, never have, and 100% hate the snowball focused sololane meta right now. I only like the support and jungle roles, but due to this current system, if anyone who is in a similar boat wants to que as anything and support, they will get support with no chance at their other desired role.

So I'm stuck in a situation where I either play support 100% of the time, or due to jungle desirability in my elo, risk falling into a role where I cannot preform in an optimal or effective manner. Nobody can just que as x role/support, you que as support only or as different roles.

Well, there are a few problems with support role.

(Note: I pretty much main support)

First lots of kids play the game, and kids tend to be self absorbed, selfish, short sighted. They want that glory of carrying the match, not helping other people.

Second, lots of people are crap. You get some of that crap on your team, you cant support it. Trying to build a foundation on a sand bar in a river is going to result in total failure. So if you can, its better to try to carry the match. If your ADC starts feeding, and you politly suggest that maybe you should pick up the CS so someone can come out of this lane with some usable power, they never say yes and often flip their shit.

Supports are often treated poorly, talked to like a slave, looked at as a ward mule. Not a fun way to play the game.

So there isnt anything wrong with the role system... its working as intended. Its the community and there being so few supports that means if you pick it, you get it. Its trying to balance match making times with whats available. So few supports; that isnt directly Riots fault (though its their game and they control the METAs) it pretty much falls on the community for the issue.

I get top lane more than support. Explain that to me.
