Secondary support is straight up broken

Support is my second best role, so ostensibly I should pick secondary support. Except if I do, 80% of my games will be on support. I'm this close to just saying screw it, done with this queue. Why are you disincentivizing people from playing support, leading to a vicious cycle of people stopping support, and more people getting stuck with secondary support.

Additionally, the game impact of support is negligible compared to the other roles, so playing support is like flipping a coin for a W/L. Maybe you add 2-5%, but it doesn't feel like it. Thanks a bunch for this dysfunctional queue.

I guess you have to mix it up a bit, dude. Stop queuing for support/fill for a while if you're tired of it.

Also, the impact of support is far from negligible. A bad support brings down the entire team HARD. You can definitely feel it when you experience it.

lol your complaining about getting support 80% of the time? out of 50 games i have gotten jungle (my primary) TWICE. (my other 5 games as jungle someone was nice enough to swap with me.)

i agree that this issue is horrible. but be happy your getting it only 80% of the time. i haven't played my main role since the 15th.

in fact i have currently gotten support 33 games IN A ROW as of this post

The thing is, the queue takes a long time. For us secondary support players (Decent at supp than any other lane besides their primary) we generally always end as supp :/ Same thing goes for fill most of the time. Now even if i USED to enjoy supping, I generally tend to stay away now. Any other lane besides support; since supports can't do anything if their adc is bad, feeding (to the point where you can't even save them), or just straight out complaining about things you can't do like: "Oh Sona why didn't you heal me?" "My heal was on CD" "All-This Sona though"

I put support 1st and mid 2nd

Today + yesterday I played a total of 7 draft games. I got mid 2 times. [slayer-jinx-unamused]

Just pick a support that can carry then. Some supports are really good at picking up slack from the adc/team.
