Lane trade for the new champion selection.

The new champion selection and 10 bans and all works very well. But there is one issue. The lanes swap. Sometimes, someone... sorry... Rarely... someone ask politely to switch with you because they got autofill or what ever. And you accept. Its kind of weird to have your lane still be (for example Mid) when you actually will play a different lane (Support). I though about that because when you play a champ in a lane... your score is compared to all those people that played that champ in that lane right? If not... then there is no point with that trade system... But if yes, then they should think about it... Lane trade.

(It would also be a good way to know that someone would like to have your lane. like aram champs trade is. They ask, you accept or not, and its clear.) But it could also create more problems.... so I don't know... what you guys think?

Oh and sorry for the poor English.

From what I understand the role aspect of the score isn't really based on the role the lobby says you have, it's based on location within the game. Basically the game can tell what role you're playing based on location (and actions, probably) within the game. For example if you spend most of the first 15 minutes of the game mid-lane, you're probably the mid-laner, if you spend most of the first 15 minutes roaming around the map, you're probably the jungler. If you bought a gold income item, chances are, you're the support, stuff like that only based on more algorithms.

The character mastery came out in (May?) 2015 before the role selection ranked/draft queue dropped in pre-2016 season, and the mastery has always had a role specific score attached to it. So basically, it just looks funny on the loading screen but has no affect on the game or champion score, so why fix what isn't broken?
