Queue times are too long

I don't understand why I am now waiting on average 3-5 minutes for a game for top or jungle when in the previous 3 seasons I played those two roles more than any other and had queue timers of 45-85 seconds. Riot needs to address this issue as this is a mid level silver timer and watching streams games are taking 5-15 minutes minimum for diamond and up, sometimes over 20 and 30 minutes. And don't respond with "just hit the fill button" sorry but that only gets support nothing else. After 1 minute in queue everyone entered in queue should auto default to fill just to get games going so people don't waste half of their free time in a day hoping for a game.

It's simple. Before, any 5 players could get into a game together. Now it can only make as many games as it has people willing to play support, so if you pick anything but support, it takes a while to get a game. Pick support and you'll get one really fast.

The problem with the "just go as support" arguement is that it 100 percent defeats the entire purpose of Riot putting in dynamic queue. I would rather take the chance of a 20 percent support game as opposed to 100 percent every game no matter what. Riot implemented this way to soon with not enough testing and as far as i am concerned alienating people who have actually spent money on their game.

First game of the day at 1352 (152PM) central time it took 9 minutes to get a game queued as top/jungle. This is for Silver 4.

I think I will just document here for awhile the timers i have to deal with, that way there is documented evidence. Doubt it will matter though since I am a backbone player and not a pro.

The first day i saw Primary and Secondary. I told my self, thats it, they found the solution to ranking up. But it deos need improvent. Because I and many other players, would love to have a tertiary. It makes no sense to have only two roles to pick, or even four..!. The idea is great, I'll lift my hat for that one. But it needs improvement after seeing improvements in rank system.

If you like 2 roles. You may put N/A on Tertiary and Quaternary. Queus too long, Or like alot of players. You like to play 3roles. so you put Primary ADC, Secondary TOP, Tertiary Jungle, Quaternary N/A. By doing so you reduce Greatly the Queu's for games.

I saw now that you may have two players with the same primary, but diff. secondary. My friend told me ; you see we both have jungle primary but i got adc secondary and theres more adc primary out there, so im for sure gona get jungle instead of you.. To me that deos not solve any Queu time, it just resuts on people spamming their primary pos. We waited 7minutes. Requeuing 3times... thank you for your time for reading. Peace, love and Mumba
