@Riot - Fix your matchmaking! It's ruining the game!

I just want to play jungle. I don't care about the other roles. I'm fine tolerating them to play jungle more often than not. Need me to support? Fine I'll support 40% of the time, just let me jungle 60% of the time! This system is currently stupid broken. No one in real roles, getting support over and over and over again for no reason. Just let me play the role I want to play!

I've been playing this game since Season 2, and I'm starting to think about quitting for the first time. The game is great! I love it! But I can't practice on the role I want to practice. I played 8 games tonight! Got to jungle a full game once. Just let me play my favorite role!

I understand that no one wants to support. There are simple fixes for this. Give them double IP! Give them 1.5x LP if they win, 0.5x if they lose. Problem solved! Tweak the ratios so the quality support players don't sky rocket in elo if you want to keep them down for whatever reason. You'll solve the "No one wants to support" problem really fast when it's literally the fastest way to climb.

OR

Just guarantee that you will get your main role 60% of the time. I'm fine going jungle/support every game if it meant I actually got to jungle. Oh darn, I have to wait 5mins longer. Fine! 10 mins? Fine! Better than wasting an entire hour watching someone else play poorly while I get stuck in a role I don't enjoy. I hate the laning mini games. Last hitting is boring. I don't want to do it. But if I queue as support, I play support. EVERY SINGLE GAME. This is stupid. Build in gating so people will actually queue up for the role.

You need to fix your broken system. Hire someone with the know how and the elbow grease to actually make your game fun again. This is getting ridiculous.

P.S. Delete autofill too.

Someone give this guy a medal for controlling his rage in a constructive manner. This is actually my first time posting on this forum, this new rng role selection has the questionable honor for that. I'm pretty sure most ppl felt queue times were ok except some impatient ones who believed it was possible for Riot to tweak them down while promising roles at the same time. I'm confident that if you made a poll and asked if ppl wanted to trade in a few minutes of extra queue time against promised roles, most ppl would jump to the opportunity now, because this role system as it is now is in reality a random system, with maybe a slight focus on favored roles.

I have played this game for 4 years now, and this is finally making me lose all joy in playing it.. I mean I survived toxicity, worked my way out of bronze again and again against all odds, I could handle facing 4 man premades in dynamics, but this .. this is too much. I'm not into randomized success in ranked, that is aram's department, let ranked be somewhat constructive please or you are gonna lose a lot of players...

why the hell are you putting support as your secondary if you don't enjoy the role? it's not Riot's fault you make terrible role picking decisions
