Out of my last 10 Draft Games, I Got the Role I Wanted...

[zombie-nunu-tears] 2/10 times.

Maybe if we all post the percentage of times we actually get the role we wanted in one place it will be more apparent that something needs to be done (yes, support mains, this is the thread where you can laugh at our tears). Make sure to put it at the top of your comment real clear like above, so anyone can see it while just scrolling through. I don't know if the algorithm behind matchmaking needs to be tweaked or if we should just be allowed to choose 1 role, but 2/10 is ridiculous. Last season I had more games on Udyr alone than most of my non-jungle champs combined. I know they want to keep queue times down, but I'd gladly double my queue time if it means I can get my role even 7/10 times.

It's not that I can only play one role. I can play 4/5 roles well (I simply don't understand top, even when playing with champs I jg with). It's that I can only carry the dead weight I'm matched with from one role. So when I queue up trying to climb out of silver and I'm given a role I only chose because I had to, it feels like I'm being handed losses. And when I'm almost always handed losses, League is almost always not fun. It's way worse than waiting 5 minutes for a game (which happens a lot anyway).

Set mid as your secondary and you'll basically get the primary role you want like 8 out of 10 times

We need to be able to choose to either be able to fill out just one role and wait a little longer to get that role, or get the second choice to queue for 2 roles, for a quicker queue time.
