Broken Solo Play

Mr Crisp··1 votes·400 views

Can we please get an option to play the position we want in norms or ranked even. I main JG. I only like the JG. Its fun for me. I have a job and a life and don't have time to get good at all the other stuff. I barely can play JG (full disclosure haha). Here is what life is like in League right now if you are solo and want to play a certain position:

Normal- You click the accept as fast as possible hoping it gets you in the lobby faster and the lag doesn't chat block you as you try to call JG or whatever spot. It is literally racing other people to call something and it usually ends up in people grieving and saltiness and sadness and dodging.

Ranked- You put in for your primary spot and of course more often then not you get the spot you are less comfortable playing and it usually goes down hill for the team. Or if you make the mistake of asking "hey any chance I can get JG?" you will be met with a barrage of hate speech and salt effectively saying you suck because you don't devote your life to playing every other spot.

Riot- please make it so I can select the spot I want without having to fight other people for it or having the game randomly tell me if I can play it. I get that you guys and most of the moms basement dwellers that play this think its good to learn everything and know all spots but for casual solo players who only have a few moments a day to enjoy the game don't have that opportunity. And since I only have a few moments a day or week even, it would be nice if I could just make the most of it by playing what I want instead of getting things I don't play well and then have to hear the salt and toxic nonsense from other players.

If I have to wait longer in the solo queue to get the spot I want then I'm fine with that. However much longer that will be is worth compared to the hatred and grieving from people once they don't get what they want in norms or when I do bad in ranked becuz of a lack of xp using a certain spot.

Play Normal Draft instead of Normal Blind.

Its the same issue with that as well- I left it out because the issues of draft are the same in ranked and norms. Bottom line is having to pick and hope you get something is why this is broken. It rarely works out that I get what I want and for someone like me who only has a short amount of time to play in the week, its no fun settling when there is no valid reason why the game shouldn't allow a solo queue where you want JG you get JG. Or you want mid- you get mid. Whats the reasoning? wait times? like I said, I would rather wait 15 min for JG then play SUP or some other spot and have a bad or uninteresting game (for me personally) or deal with the clowns that dodge when they don't get what they want. Today I literally went through four lobbies and spent almost 20 min just because of doges from people who didn't get what they want. Why go through all this when they can just make the solo q give you what you want. Prob solved. its a no brainer. Millions play this game. If you are telling me that there is no feasible way to match make everyone into what they want then the devs need to look at why people aren't playing certain things and should improve them so there is an even spread of people choosing things.

UPDATE******* Literally, after typing the above paragraph I login to play in norms. I type "JG" as fast as humanly possible, I beat the other guy that wants it. So he gets stuck with SUP....and he says"First time". So everyone is like "great gg". Well about 3 min into the game the other team surrenders cuz their adc was AFK. Im like great 10 min wasted....and I go back to queue and sure as eff...someone beats me to JG. Wasted a total when it was all said and done of about 20 min and had no fun to show for it. Guess what...I rage quit and got 15 min ban and I could care less. And why should I when this game is made completely unenjoyable by a terrible solo play system. Going to play overwatch. fix your game riot Im tired of your trash que wasting my time.
