Why am I Being Punished for Trading... As Fill?

I mean the title pretty much sums it up... I queue as Fill in ranked and then when I get in, I just ask ~~ If anyone wants to swap, I'm down

And then I swap to support... And get that dumb message at the end that basically says 'fuck you for playing off roles'. I figure if you play fill (to prevent people just queueing for fill and then forcing themselves into their roles, maybe the person has to have a history of playing the role fill gives) you should get some leniency on lane swapping. Or maybe that shouldn't even apply to fill players?

I don't know, I was just annoyed by that. Thoughts?

Honestly, that shouldn't even be a thing :s A blanket punishment is going to catch tons of legitmate things, like when meta or balance changes change a champions lane...

It isn't punishing you, if I remember what a Rioter said, it just make it that if you do a LOT of roles swapping, you will have an unique MMR for everything.

But yeah, the system place you according to your role MMR. You "filling" doesn't mean you suddenly get allow to swap role more than someone selecting two role. The system still place you according to your MMR in this role, filling doesn't change that.

What exactly is the message that says "fuck you for playing off roles"?
