I am a top/jungle main in unranked, but in ranked I have been forced to support 9/10 times if I am solo, but when I go duo queue with a friend (I'veonly gone duo with one person thus far) I can tend to get higher up in the pick order and I've played top like 4 games and jungle twice, having a main role does not matter unfortunately, because half the time you will get pigeon-holed into a less favorable role if you aren't first in pick order, and even if you are first in pick order, everyone thinks that you are a dick if you call pick order over them and lock in anyway.

The other issue is that in lower ranks you have to deal with smurfs getting their extra accounts ranked, so one team could in theory have a diamond player on it, which completely imbalances the ranking system, this problem could easily be fixed if Riot put coding in the client to read your ip, and if your computer already has one ranked account, it used those stats to place you near your other accounts mmr to start your placements and advance from there.
