Something is worrying me about the new ranked system.

As you all know, in season 9 there will be a new ranked system. Right now, Riot is testing 'Role detection' (at the end-game screen you can see which role you're played). Even if you swap lanes with some1 the system can detect that.

Now, the thing that's worrying me is role hijacking. If an autofilled player decides to go on other player's lane (if he gets autofilled on support and goes top), the system should detect he was playing top, and give him LP for that role right? So my question is, do you think players will abuse the system by hijacking other player's roles to make sure they get LP for their main role (the role they hijacked)?

im not on point with my information, but didnt riot say you gain a rank for every role? so lets say you are an adc main, so you are plat in adc, but sometimes you play top but youre pretty bad so in top you are silver. if that system is still going on, trolls will roam wild. right now if you troll, you still waste your own lp. but in the new system, who cares? as long as you dont troll in your main role youre fine
