Primary and Seconday Positions not treated as such in Draft Queues

I pick mid primary, because it's my favorite position, and support secondary, because that's alright. However, I get support 95% of the time. This system is not supposed to work this way. If you pick something as your primary, you should get your primary role an expected amount of time. In statistics, that's somewhere around 66%--not 5%. Heck, 75% of the time even wouldn't be unreasonable for your primary, but only 5%?.... People are either going to stop picking support (apparently they already have) or they're going to stop playing the game (there are videos on YouTube discussing this).

It's not just you... it's everyone. Overall primary gets picked more.

Right, the game pairing logic is just plugging holes with no regard to primary/secondary. The point I'm raising is that if they intend to just plug holes, than primary/secondary is entirely misleading (and due to people having learned the actual logic being used for queues, the number of people picking support for secondary has been greatly reduced). I, for one, would be far happier waiting a few extra seconds per queue, if it meant getting my primary role more frequently. The design team is always about clarity (and the primary/secondary nomenclature suggests some favoritism is being provided to your primary role, which is not the case).
