I think I've seen suggestion before, and it's been shot down before too.

First, how does the game define what role a champion is? If I pick the jungler queue and then I pick Blitzcrank (who is an pretty reasonable jungler but certainly isn't a meta pick) will the game penalize me or perhaps mistake my good intentions for deliberate trolling? What this is doing is just enforcing the meta, which is not a good idea, especially to those who don't appreciate it that much.

If it's not enforcing what you pick, then all you're really doing is simply arbitrarily dividing up the community for the sake of it. It's even worse if the matchmaking system does not allow a game to progress if all roles haven't been filled, as then the rate of finding a match is basically chokeheld by the number of supports playing that day (or whatever the least played role is).

With this current community, I simply cannot see such a system working out well.
