Can we please be guaranteed our primary roles when in promo series? (RANT)

I got jungle (my primary role) every game from 0LP to Diamond promos twice this week, and both promo series' I got my secondary role (top) in 3 of 5 games of my first promo series (who'd have thought those would be the 3 i lost) and 4 of 4 games in my second promo series. 7 out of 9 promo games I'm gonna be forced to play my secondary role? How is this efficient?

I'm not a terrible top laner. I don't lose lane. I generally go even or win lane. My TP's are productive. But it's not my Primary role. It's not the role that got me to promos. Could I at least be given the chance to prove that my primary role is worthy of diamond? Why do I have to play my second best role every game of my promos to prove that I can be diamond?

When solo queue was around, your teammates would typically let you take your best role if you told them you were in promos, especially diamond promos. That being said, this "new and improved" dynamic queue is actually making it harder for me to climb the ladder. Thanks, Riot.

This right here ^

I am a support main but I do like going mid to carry in my promos.

I imagine the queue times would be increased significantly.

Instead of guaranteeing us one of our 2 selected roles in our promos (Which is basically ALWYS the case for ME duh) they should guarantee us our primary role for sure when having to go through our promos. That literally just ruined it for me and its getting annoying.[slayer-jinx-unamused]
