Give us the option to wait longer to get one of the two roles we chose

I don't want to be forced to play a role I never play. Just a waste of time and feelsbad free win for the other time. I also don't want to be forced to dodge. Please give us the option to wait longer to guarantee that we get one of the two roles we signed up for.

I'm sure my potential teammates feel the same way - they would rather wait longer to get a teammate that is playing one of their main roles, rather than spend a few less minutes in the queue only to get a weak teammate and a 30 minute game that ends in a loss.

I can understand at high elo's this might not be feasible since queue times are very long, but in anything less than diamond it seems like it would only add another minute or so.

how about you learn the roles to a basic level.......support is not that difficult.....

One of my main roles is support. And sometimes people don't want to give it up if I get top or something.

Why should I need to learn 3 roles? Why can't this option I propose be implemented?

I can learn more roles to a basic level. But then how do I compare to my opponent with hundreds of games playing that role? My goal that game becomes "don't feed". That's dumb. A waste of time. And what if I don't want to play that role? Why should I be forced to?

When the ready check comes up, it should show if I am being put in a fill role, and give me the option to return to queue if I don't want to fill. It doesn't even have to show the ready check for the other players unless I agree, so it doesn't bother them.

That will increase queue times for other players, yes (by what, a minute or two?). But would they really even want to play a game where they know I am going to lose lane? Probably not.

you don't want to play them, whaaaaaaa. Grow up, this isn't a game with a safe space. In life you do things you don't want to. In this game you need to play roles you don't want so we don't have ridiculous que times and so that you LEARN the game. Playing support, makes you learn how to use teamwork in lane, how and where and when to ward, it makes you a better player. Same with any role, you learn aspects of the game that you don't normally know. how to lane, how to cs, how to trade. I play 4 roles pretty well, I suck at ADC, but I can play and not feed.....
