Unable to duo bot lane if you only have 2 people in queue

So basically, if you're planning to duo with someone (with the new dynamic queue) and you only have one partner to queue up with, it doesn't allow you to both choose the same roles (one person choosing primary role: adc, secondary role: support and vice versa for the other person). It doesn't allow you to queue up because your roles are not unique or broad enough. So you or your duo partner is forced to choose a different secondary role and in some cases you will both get to be in bot lane together but sometimes one of you will get stuck in another lane :/ Is this something that can change? This was never a problem the the old draft pick since people usually let the duo's have their bot lane.

Working as intended. Also, what?? This used to be a problem then as well :p

there is a VERY easy way to do this. One person chooses Support as primary and Bot Lane secondary. The second person chooses Bot lane as primary and support as secondary. You're 100% -teed to get both. Then you and your duo just choose your champions however you want.

Edit: I was incorrect in assuming that this works with Duos as I did it with 3 players.

I agree its silly, but normally you can get passed it by having one of the players (probably best with the primary support player) putting their secondary role as mid. As its the most contested position you are less likely to get thrust into it as your secondary. (not to say it doesn't happen but I think its like 1-2 times per 10 games) (at least that's how its been for me, i've been spamming bot / mid (with mid being my actual preferred secondary as well) and ive gotten bot for the most part)
