Ranked query force a player to specialize. I had to play one lane and make the same champion pick over and over again. It kinda sucks out joy from the game. I believe game designers should look into it.

Hey fellow summoner, no one is forcing you to specialize you can pick any role you want every game just dont expect the results to be as effective, and there is no to change this there are a decent amount of people in this game who like to onetrick and a decent amount that try to stick to their role, the reason you feel like you have to specialize is because of the players not the game the player who play their respective role every game is generally going to outperform the person who jumps around from lane to lane it has nothing to do with game design.

"dont expect the results to be as effective", "generally going to outperform"

See the problem here? In order to be effective, you have to kick yourself in the butt [sg-janna]

Well, they've made and still kept positional match making. So even if you play other roles, you won't get stomped and still get a decent competitive experience.

Specialising can help you climb quickly, but learning other champs can make you become better long term, as it allows you to learn the intricacies of the other champs so when you play against them, you can know their counters better.

No, positional match making it gone. They are not keeping it. SapMagic literally said "looking into keeping positional matchmaking" and they will "share more when we have a solid plan".

I think hoping from lane to lane now will get me to be eaten alive by an enemy laner.

We’re also looking into keeping positional matchmaking, which would make off-position games more fair even without position ranks. We’ll share more when we have a solid plan.

Hmmm ... I guess this certainly can be be interpreted as "we are currently suspending positional match making".

I know when positional ranks were in, I was finding my support games to be harder than normal and my non-support games to be at regular difficulty. Now I'm seeing alot more games I'm stomping when I play as support.

I wonder if the "removal" of positional match making caused this.

But if positional match making was in, will it solve your issue?

Can't always have your cake and eat it too.

If you want to make a lot of money, sometimes you will have to do a job you won't necessary enjoy or like.

If you want to do fun jobs, sometimes you have to settle for less salary.

Welcome to life. It's not the game designer or life's fault. You pick your own priority.

I say games are supposed to be fun [sg-ahri-2] . And designers suppose to protect players from playing them in an unfun way

Couldn't be more false. Good players climb with a huge variety of champions. Miss Fortune isnt even an optimal pick right now. You just climb on it because it is one of the only champions you are good enough to reach gold with.
