How is your role decided once you queue up? I NEED TO VENT

OK. So we've had dynamic queue for a while now. A few changes patches later and now I find myself asking the question from the title. Is a priority at all? It is finding the fastest available game with either role open? I ask because its driving me nuts now. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason as to why I'm getting one of the two roles I'm choosing. I don't want to queue something up in my secondary in hopes that I don't get it and then get stuck with it. I'd tried my best to enjoy learning a second role and have and do enjoy a 2nd role, but 12 queues in a row without my primary? That seems absurd. A lot of people in queues have been saying the put the Secondary role first in hopes it works and they feel like they find more success in actually playing their primary role when its in the secondary slot. IS there any explanation to that, or just luck/coincidence?

Is there a place to suggest changes to Dynamic queue? I'm new to boards and get stuff deleted cause its "in the wrong place". But I'd really like to read some hard info on how these queues actually work now....What role is the most popular and stuff like that. I don't to complain, but Im just getting really frustrated with the seeming lack of priority for it wait to find a game for my primary role. THANK YOU

If your secondary is support, expect to get support every time. I queue up as Primary: Bot Secondary: Mid and get Bot probably 80% of the time so it works for me.

so between 3/1/2016 and 3/2/2016 I can honestly say I've queued up primary jg/ secondary bot and I've gotten bot EVERYTIME. This is not games played, but queues successfully entered that I'm talking about. I started writing it down after 5. SO im at 100% secondary role priority. If it was my primary i WOULD NEVER COMPLAIN about the success. I am in no way exaggerating either. MY last 14 attempts have put me in my Secondary position. People are advising me TO ACTUALLY switch it around....whichIMO, would mean really bad and awkward things about the way this queue works. Obviously playing with a friend we can make it so we can just swap roles and play whatever role we prefer that way, Even if it switches role preference.... just shouldn't have to be reliant on that mess. MY last game, in which I dodged out of frustration and I am now waiting 15 mins (as of 3/2/2016 time of post), I queued up and found a game in less than a minute for my secondary role. Shouldn't that never happen? What's the point of role preference if that's the case? Obviously, you don't know those answers lol. I get the feeling I won't get any either.
