Per role MMR is not a solution to the Autofill problem, it's a band aid

The issue that autofilled vs non-autofilled lane can decide the outcome of a match wasn’t even an issue before. The new champselect that was introduced in 2016 is. Allowing people to queue for roles breeds onetricks and barely competent players who wouldn’t get out of Bronze in seasons 1-5.

You have to own a certain amount of champions to queue up for draft for a reason. In seasons 1-5 you were supposed to be decent at every role before entering ranked which was better for the game. Ranked is a competitive game mode that is not supposed to guarantee you comfort picks. It’s supposed to challenge you to become a better player, not a better onetrick.

Suggestion: bring back old champselect for ranked, leave the role queue for flex and normals.

No, season 1-5 was a shit fest of toxic premades who ALWAYS got what role they wanted and dominated the scene.

I only ever play support, and I climbed from Bronze V to Silver II with nothing but Leona and Support Rammus in season 3. So I'm not positive this is a 100% accurate observation. (I mean, I could just be that good that my onetrick status doesn't gimp me any...)
