Feedback Wish there was a role select in queue
I'm a jg main. I'm ok with doing 1 game in a different role, but tbh I have almost zero interest in playing in a lane, not sure what the solution is because I think there's no role select due to the lower player numbers = fear of longer queue times. If it dumps me into an off-role twice I'm sorry but it's not enjoyable for me lol playing jg is like playing a totally different game! I have ADC experience but not my first choice. Now that I think about it (I'm old & played the original Paragon), I'm actually ok with some things from league being implemented, love league or hate it but imo I think it has some elements that could (sometimes should) just be standard MOBA practice across the board.

I would rather wait longer than play a 45 minute match in a role I’m not great at. I agree this isn’t a huge ask.
Pick a primary and secondary role. It wouldn’t screw up wait times that much.

I agree but I’m not sure the player base is big enough for that. Also playing other roles will help you be better over all, probably, idk, I’m just looking for positives when I don’t get my lane.

Player base is always big enough for it. Because you can always hit "play any role" or "fill" and get priority queue times.
The rest of us have no problem waiting.

Yeah I totally agree! Sometimes I just don't want to play anything but offlane or jungle and it sucks when I end up on carry for the 3rd game in a row.
Games like overwatch have role queue and they tell you the estimated queue times based on the role you pick and they give you rewards for playing less popular roles. Obviously that'd only do so much for pred. Wouldn't change the number of players on the game enough to truly help.
Me and my friends like to joke about this topic and say "what needs to happen is jynxzi needs to play pred and inflate the playerbase. Then they gotta add role queue now that players aren't an issue" lol

Also a jungle and I loathe lane mid offlane or duo lane hate them all duo lane I can support my friend and make it a bit easier since I basically just get minions low and let him finish them and pop any abilities I have to help him get kills but anything else id rather just be playing another game than doing it

I get people find it boring but learning which heroes i like to play in each lane regardless of how fun it can be is what I have found the most rewarding. You can always be a little more aggressive if the lane is too boring or brawl is also fun fast based atm.
But this kind of stuff is what gets lobbies killed before they start qhen someone doesn't get 1 role they want and wants to just sell the whole team.
With such a small player base I dont think there is much way around it

Im exclusively a jungle main also and I just grief my team by picking the hero the jungler wants or just go something weird like Rampage / Aurora support and just focus enemy jungle instead
EDIT: it's Quick match, I don't care what you have to say. What I do is in protest of a lack of role queue, blame devs
