Add a "except" option to the fill role in role queue.

Basically, I generally enjoy filling in my games, i can play many roles very well. However, I am not particularly good at top lane, and often times would rather not play it. It would help me a lot if I could select the "fill" role but still specify that I do not want to play top lane. Basically allowing me to say "fill except top lane" or "fill except support". I think it would be a good way to increase the number of people willing to play the fill role, while also allowing people to be more specific with the lanes they want to play.

everyone would put "except support" and then you'd have the team builder dilemma again

not that I don't also wish for this, but Riot would never sacrifice queue time for game quality even though it's what would single handedly bring back probably half the player base.

they know everything and don't need our input, we're only the entire reason their game exists at all, what do we know

I can reliably play all five lanes, but frequently I'm not in the mood to top or mid.

I just pick two of the lanes I'd most want to play and put them instead of picking fill.

They already tried this on a couple of servers and it doesn't work. Everyone just excepts support or jungle and now you got 30-40 minute queues for everyone on the server. Inb4 "not everyone will except support". They will eventually, because it snowballs. If enough people except support it will force everyone who didn't except it to play support basically every game in order to make complete teams. This causes people to become fed up with playing support so they'll except it as well. That's what happened when they tried it out in practice. We also had it happen on the other servers where picking support secondary caused you to play support 9/10 times.

The only realistic role they could except is mid and maybe ADC, but people only want the except feature so they can play nothing but mid and ADC anyway so it would be counterproductive.
