a single-role system with additions instead of a dual-role system?

as it is, many of the complaints about the game are about how a player is denied the way that he or she intends to play

why not simply make the system ask for a primary role...and then allow any other roles to be optional instead of madatory?

I bring this up as a result of a recent thread, but a game can get very frustrating when you have one role in mind, queue up for that role and are denied that role

Wait times are not a factor in most player decisions, so why is the dual-role system based upon that?

this brings up an additional issue. League is made to be a team game but presently, it is not. There is the premade ranked system, but in solo queue, it is just that, solo

One person attempts to make peace with chaos amid 4 other people each having an opinion of his or her own. This is not a team system but instead organized chaos

What is the issue you are discussing though.

If it is the popular Nunu topic, this won't solve anything. He wants a double jungle but that isn't even possible to queue as outside of 5man.

no, he prefers to jungle but shows that it is more effective when forced into support role by the dual-role system to counterjungle the opponent with his favorite champ and to support the marksman only as necessary.

the biggest weakness for marksmen is jungler ganks, but that is not the point of this topic.

The point is, why did riot not allow players the option to exclude a second role? queue times would increase, but it is at the player's discretion

Nothing more to say then.

If a player wants a guaranteed role, I guess he should be allowed to wait for it. Of course if every player says Mid only, then the system might say queue time 2 hours, until 8 people don't want mid. Then only two of those people queueing mid would actually start the game.

I think 2 hours is an exaggeration due to the mentality to choose a different role, but this provides a boost to the player. It might not be what they want to play, but it would allow the player time to think of a champion to play and a backup before being thrust into a match

If you're talking about champ select, auto-fill and all that... Two seasons ago, you didn't have "roles." You got into a game, and called out your preferred role, and otherwise just went with pick order. You had to be at least competent in every role in order to even play draft pick, otherwise you held your team back.

Learn to play every role, or go back to blind picks.

alright, but why leave it up to chance?

I learned how to play most of the roles...jungler just had too much macro-managing and dependence upon runes for my taste

but that is not what this is about. The game is not the same game that it was years ago. Also, season 5 was the beginning of good ideas with teambuilder as an option before the bad ideas started pouring in

ignoring that I responded somewhat improperly there, my point is, why is it not the player's choice what role they play?
