ya if I could please

for privacy sake, im going to replace the rioters name with "x". here's what was said in the live chat (the question you asked is towards the end):

Chat started: 2019-01-28 01:48 AM UTC

(01:48:53 AM) FOR JUSTICE: i was wondering, if i choose to main fill, would i on average climb faster then if i simply choose 1 role? also, if i main fill, but swap a few more times then im allowed from the position im assigned, do i still face the same penalization as everyone else for matchmaking?

(01:49:37 AM) *** x joined the chat ***

(01:49:45 AM) x: hey there

(01:49:46 AM) x: hows it going

(01:49:50 AM) FOR JUSTICE: fine (01:50:02 AM) FOR JUSTICE: just debating whether i should play ranked rn (01:50:04 AM) FOR JUSTICE: lol

(01:50:26 AM) x: lol that's a debate i think we all have around this time of year

(01:52:19 AM) x: so to the best of my knowledge, primarily queueing up as fill shouldn't give an advantage over having a primary role. you'll still be more likely to see support or jungle (the most common fill spots IMO) more than the other three, so it's likely that you'd still end up having higher positional rankings in those roles. i don't know your skill level in each position personally, so that's assuming you're equally proficient in each role

(01:52:54 AM) x: as far as swapping goes, queueing as fill doesn't give you more leniency for switching either since you're being assigned a role based on what's needed, so switching out of that isn't really any different than queuing up for that role and then trading pre-game

(01:53:06 AM) FOR JUSTICE: ah (01:53:14 AM) FOR JUSTICE: ok that makes sense (01:53:21 AM) FOR JUSTICE: also how many promos are there now? (01:53:44 AM) FOR JUSTICE: do i still need to go through one for each tier? (01:53:56 AM) FOR JUSTICE: like say silver 4 -> silver 3?

(01:55:01 AM) x: yep, so for going between divisions like silver 4 to silver 3, you'd still have the same 3 game series and from Iron 4 all the way up to getting into Gold 1, you'll be eligible for promo helper if you don't successfully promote

(01:55:13 AM) FOR JUSTICE: ah

(01:55:13 AM) x: going between tiers, like silver 1 to gold 4 is still a 5 game series

(01:55:22 AM) FOR JUSTICE: got it (01:55:26 AM) FOR JUSTICE: and finally (01:55:39 AM) FOR JUSTICE: is it possible to demote in one position (01:55:43 AM) FOR JUSTICE: while playing another? (01:56:00 AM) FOR JUSTICE: say if i lose playing support and the negative splashes to my mid role (01:56:11 AM) FOR JUSTICE: could my mid demote (01:56:14 AM) FOR JUSTICE: ?

(01:56:56 AM) x: yep, the LP splashing mechanic can cause demotion 💀

(01:57:02 AM) FOR JUSTICE: OOOOOF (01:57:10 AM) FOR JUSTICE: alright, thatnk you very much

(01:57:17 AM) x: no worries my dude (01:57:20 AM) x: anything else you need help with?

(01:57:54 AM) FOR JUSTICE: no, that is all (01:57:56 AM) FOR JUSTICE: thank you (01:58:24 AM) x: no worries! if anything else comes up feel free to hit us up again (02:00:20 AM) *** x left the chat ***

Yeah, it is a bit.

I understand the fundamental idea, but the intricacies like promotion and demotion aren't clear at all. At time of writing, CorruptedScythe had just asked if you can promote from splash and got two directly contradictory answers XD I have no idea who is right.

same privacy thingy as before. this one rather short tho.

yes you can

ive got rioter chatlogs for that too, you actually cant. you sit at 100 LP, you cant splash into promos and splashing wont count for wins.
