Riot - We need to be able to choose our lane before queing.
Hello Riot!
I really enjoy mid lane. It's a lot of fun, and I really do my best to be the best mid laner ever! It's likely not going to happen, but this is what I am for.
With the current system, if I wish to do well in ranked, I must be good at every single lane. In mid lane, I might need only be very good at 3-4 champs to avoid bans and counter pick, but if we are forced to be competent in every lane, that is 3 more lanes if you include jungle, and it really makes it difficult to be good at what you enjoy playing.
I would like to request that you allow users to create a preference for which lane they wish to play in before queing. This will also reduce toxicity because no player will go into a game feelign resentful playing a position they don't want, and more importantly, players won't get stuck playing a position they are horrible at.
This game is about having fun, but it's also a sports game. You wouldn't expect a player to need to be very good at all positions in a professional sport, why is it this way in LOL?
Please consider this feature. I really enjoy mid. It is so much fun, and I feel sad that I am forced to play lanes I enjoy less simply because the matching system isn't competent enough to give us the positions we enjoy.
Thanks so much!
