How to solve lack of support users in builder mode

Riot.

Why don't you give more ip or some additional rewards to Supports in the builder mode? Give them more incentive to play more support =p

some times it takes over 10 minutes to fill a support position...

Or, you know, you could queue as a Support.

Yeah if they give extra ip, I'm willing to. But otherwise, I would play other lanes

Wrong section, but I'd have to agree lol, they should give like 25% extra IP to people who play the role with the lowest percentage of current players playing that role

so it's constantly changing which role gets the rewards? not too bad

Then you get more players that don't actually want to play Support, they're just in it for the increased rewards.

It still solves the problem though.

Whoops, I forgot to say that this would also mean a lot of very poor support players queuing up. At least with the current system, you know each team member is playing a role and champion that they actually want to play (which hopefully means they're at least decent at it). With outside incentives to pick particular roles, things might get a bit skewed.

This is true too. But hopefully after the first few (possibly abysmal) support games, we might see an improvement in decent supports. (No, I'm not raging that 'damage' supports Lux Morgana sometimes Annie hardly build sightstone!)

Well,. they will get better eventually. plus, not everyone is poor at supporting. just like not everyone is good at all other lanes =p

Maybe but not all. Anyone can play support or any other rolls anyway and t hey will get better unless they just want the reward and don't mind wasting their time. of Riot can give more reward if they win. they will play better.

I like there being almost no one in the support role, because it means that I can queue up and get into game almost instantly.

yeah but other 4 people have to wait forever and that's the point of the suggestion...

Right now the wait time sometimes goes beyond 10 minutes for the builder mode. don't you think something needs to be done? other wise, more players will abandon the builder mode and that will make the wait time longer.

I think builder is a good option where people can peacefully select their champs and position. Riot just need to add some touch to make it more live.
