I queued jg/bot jg/supp several times, got botlane each time after like 2 seconds of queuetime, went mid/jg after no locking in ban/picks and stuff got 3 jungle picks and 2 mid, it took several minutes between each one. My guess is that asking for jg (or mid) is like the reverse of queueing for botlane, in that no one wants to botlane so the wait time is instantaneous versus everyone queuing for solo lanes/jungle so the wait time is longer. It kinda lines up with how long it took to find people in teambuilder as well, very easy to find top/mid/jg, but finding adc/support took forever | ||

A simple draggable bar to imply preference, done. they should already be weighing primary more than secondary, maybe just increase priority on getting primary role over queuetime? | ||

It would be kinda dumb for the first couple weeks but I think in the intended spirit of that ladder, it makes sense. hard resets are bad for the lower half of the playerbase | ||

I mean in terms of tryhard I think solo would be #1, so I don't see a reason to cater to people afraid of what might happen when normals and dynamic are available. | ||

Last time they said they intended TDL as the "lane dominance" mastery amongst its alternatives, now they explain that they don't like it being that strong in lane so they buff its lategame instead. Revolving doors! And I assume people playing ranked are likely to get more invested in the game, because that ranking and league and stuff gives you an objective, has an emotional component, etc. and you're more likely to hear of pros and stuff maybe? | ||

But now with even more damage in the lane, I doubt some more harass starting at level 5+ will change much. Also mana potions aren't a thing anymore so managing his passive becomes even more important, and in that case it gates you more than Iceball's cooldown. I'd be surprised if top lane Nunu had any kind of resurgence (even small) this patch, apart from people trying him.

How is that not precisely the point I was making?  Really, the whole slew of changes in the last weeks (you could say some months, including the facebook integration and announcements for similar stuff, since it shows it's been in the works for awhile) is mostly about getting people to play, recruit their friends (doing Riot's job) and then hooking people and giving them more incentive to play, or rather, less incentive to go (your friends play -> you won't let them down -> it's harder for the group to give up on the game all at once rather than for isolated people one by one). | ||
