Got mid once. Can we tweak this algorithm a little, please?

If you pick support as secondary, you will likely get support because nobody wants to play it because if you don't have a fun support like thresh, bard or any ks support of bullshit, it's boring.

I mean I enjoy playing support. I'd put support primary mid secondary if I'd get mid ever. But I don't want to play only support.

I think of this when people try to justify the current system. The more players who put secondary support get support, the more players don't want to put secondary support. It's a problem that just keeps getting worse, not better, with time.

That's irrelevant. The promise -- the contract -- of the system is that I can pick a primary and a secondary role. If, on average, I am getting my secondary far more often than my primary, that contract has been broken and should be modified to call them first and second preference, since that's really what they are. If Riot doesn't want to modify the contract, they need to uphold the contract by giving primary at least as much as secondary, even if that means longer queue times.

It's things like this that cause people to run mid/top instead of mid/support.. which leads to less supports and longer queue times for support.
