fix this queueing issue..

i would love to be able to queue up for 1 .. and only 1 position.

and i would like others to be able to have the same benefit..

or if i wanted to queue up for 3 different positions .. i should be allowed to.

this 2 position thing is causing a really bad experience in some of my games..

why? you may wonder..

well.. people have figured out if they queue mid / bot .. they have a higher chance of getting mid.. but they dont really play bot lane.. so .. what this does is put a person who cannot play bot lane in bot lane..

i know .. why would someone queue up a spot for which they are actually bad at.. or not at the elo they play at.. crazy right..

Riot.. i am really tired of these people that are just waiting for their chance to mid.. just let them pick a single roll and put a disclaimer.. your single pick will cause you to wait for twice as long on average.. and just be done with it.

The single queue with a disclaimer isn't a bad idea per say, but it might cause issues on a large scale. I shared your experience two days ago, but it also encourages people to learn multiple roles rather.

From my experience in ranked, I've seen multiple instances of players who queue up for roles they don't play. These players will often ask to trade roles in champion select and in the worst cases, they autolock a champion for a role that is NOT their assigned role. Riot needs to address this issue because these players are intentionally abusing the system and are unwilling to learn a secondary role which is defeating the purpose of the new queue.

Oddly, I've had several games of the reverse. Which is to say, several people putting "Mid" secondary because they want their primary and ending up Mid. Worst was the person who got mid and said "I have no mid champs and don't know how/want to play mid". I asked why they queued for it and of course it was because "I wanted jg". It would be nice to have people able to queue for one role but then be given extra low priority.

(incidentally, this is why I also hate it when people suggest putting "Mid" secondary in order to get your primary role. I never put mid as either option and there's a reason for that)
