I would queue support if..

I would queue for jungle/support because I like playing support sometimes but I don't like playing support ALL.THE.TIME. Positional queueing for support is broken and everyone knows it. I know it's to help queue times because no one queues support but meh.

Tbh. Jungle is played less than support now. I find myself being autofilled to jungle waaaaaaay more often than support. Might have to do with support basically being second mid lane now.

what.. I go jg/sup and it's 90% of the time support. I cna't even remember the last time I got jg when I queued off support.

I think it depends on elo and region

Lol. I usually que adc/top. And I think the past 10 times I’ve been autofilled it’s been a 3/7 split sup/jungle

I've almost never been autofilled to support, but I've been autofilled to jungle several times. I think it's an unpopular role because junglers are much more prone to being flamed than supports now.

If you fail a gank, you get flamed. If you take someone's kill, you get flamed. If you happened to be farming nearby when one of your teammates dies, you get flamed. And, of course, if your teammates lose any of their lanes, then it's obviously not their fault; it's your fault for not ganking enough.

I'd enjoy playing jungler a lot more if my teammates stopped using me as a scapegoat.

Silvers are literally too stupid to remember when you ganked THEIR lane before they went 1/5 and down by 50 cs

It depends on elo. In high elo support is the 2nd most important role after jungle.

I personally wouldn't mind doing support (which I'm already fine with and love playing support, though I find it boring after a couple matches since I guess I'm a natural for enchanter supp or something as I win most of my matches where I play an enchanter supp with ease for some reason), if I also don't have to go to bot lane all the time.

I just wish support can be this kinda position where they get to say which lane they want to go and support. But I guess Riot and the community don't agree, and I have to be chained to bot lane. I hate that tbh.

you can roam though. Champions like Bard Pyke Thresh Alistar are not chained to bot. All you need is to get lvl 3 and you are free to support wherever you want, as long as it wins you a game. As for chat, it can always be muted.

I wish I could queue as support without needing a second role. It annoys me to no end when I queue up as support/top or support/anything else, and I end up as that second role. I don't know how to cs!

On the reverse side of that, I wish it were possible to eliminate a role. I would love to go fill and exclude Jungle.

The ultimate result of both these trains of thoughts led the the creation of Ivern, funnily enough.

Maybe it is just me, but is the bias towards the support role by the match making even still necessary?

If I get autofilled in the last time, then I get the roles bot and jungle way more often than support. It kinda seems like support is no longer the least popular one in the game. Or am I just imagining things?

Did you consider queuing up for support maybe once in a while since you know that noone queues support? That way you get your fix and don't have to complain on forums about something everyone knows.

No, it works fine. The issue is that people just plainly don't play support enough.

To fix that Riot would have to rework whole support idea in this game. Not just rework few items and forcefully cripple and cramp few mages into botlane (that was r%%%%%ed move btw). But they won't do it.

Supports in this game were always uninteresting, because the philosophy of supporting in this game is braindead stupid. I used to point out what is bad about supporting, but everytime some support-mains felt agitated/angered on how dare I say anything and then they proceeded to act clueless why noone else wants to play the class. So yeah, fun.

That being said I enjoy supporting more than playing top, mid, jungle or ADC position.
