Let us ban a role in draft?

I'm kind of new in the game and it's been twice now that I went in draft and got the support role when I selected mid and top/jungle as roles... I know this may be necessary and I can absolutely fill others roles, but I just can't play support. I don't find it fun, I'm not good at it (which means it's also bad for my team), and I'm not having a good time. I could literally play any other role. So I think it would be nice if we could ban a role so we absolutely never have to play it even in autofill...

that would completely defeat the purpose of them adding autofill.

Hell to the no!

I can’t last-hit to save my life, I am horrible at maneuvering the jungle, I am too nervous whenever I am solo-laning mid or top (and I can’t last hit, as previously mentioned) and I just feel at-ease when I’m playing support.

You're exactly why they never implemented that, OP.

It turned out 80% of the time people just banned Support and then queue times were 35 minutes long.

Good idea if Support could not be banned because I want to play today, not 2 days from now when the queue finally pops because 80% of all players ban the support role.

Best thing to do is find 2-3 champions who you can run support and get good at them. Recommend Thresh, Morgana, Zyra, Leona, Nami, and Alistar for choices. Thresh is best for just about every situation so make one of your 3 him for sure.

I upvoted cause I like the idea, however there is an issue that would need addressed which is you would need to wait 30 minutes for somone who didn't ban support for themselves to hit play. My suggestion is riot can easily make support a more desirable role if buying the full first support item unlocked them the ability to purchase from a pool of support items that put them on equal power with the other 8 players. Of course nobody wants this cause then the relative influence the other roles will be lower as a result and the oh so important md, jg, or top will feel even less like they can solo carry the TEAM game with NINE other people in it.

Almost no one likes support so everyone has to play it at some point.

Get used to it.
