New Champ Select - Fill too Heavily Slanted to Support

When i play ranked I generally go primary=Jungle, secondary=Fill. 4 out of 5 games I get support. Having fill seems to trump my first choice of jungle, and it's very rare I get another role beside jungle or support.

I don't mind getting support, even disproportionately more than other fill roles. But getting support automatically even over my primary pick so much is quite annoying. I counted out of my last almost 30 games of picking Jungle/Fill, i got 17 support, 8 jungle, and 2 other. That's ~90% support out of fill picks. and only 30% of the time i get my primary choice. This is pretty frustrating.

Ideally I'd like ~50% at least for my primary pick. It feels like the queue is WAY too far weighted to filling what roles need to be filled and not taking my preference in to account. Before you go all crazy saying I can change my role preferences and not include fill, I know that. But sometimes I just want the option to be surprised and do a fill. But the way the queue works, fill is not a surprise. It's just support. So effectively you've removed a fill choice. It's just a second support pick.

This seems like a waste to me. I'd love to see more weight put on your primary choice, and more weight in to balancing what roles fill gives you.

Disclaimers: 1) this is not my main account. 2) i'm a low silver rank. so i acknowledge things could be different at higher ranks.
