Nowadays when you search all roles you get either pos 5 or Mid, I haven’t seen any other role when searching for all of them. How is Mid not considered a “High Demand Role”?
I know that Valve set it up once for pos 4 and 5 and never touched it again but maybe it’s time for an update? Or even better, dynamically adjusting which roles are currently in high demand?
What do you think?
I almost never get Mid as a role when farming for role queue tokens, so from my perspective, the very argument presented in the topic is flawed. When I go role queue farming, I end up with pos4 in around 20% of my.games, with pos5 being most common and pos3 being second.
Assuming however that indeed there are people who are getting significant role queue tokens on mid, I believe it is because mid vary a lot in terms of punishment. Water runes on both sides on min2 and min4 means that rarely you can punish an enemy mid in this period of time, while supports rotation can alleviate the pressure on whoever is losing the lane.
