@Albert_Tzy @LSXYZ9 @raymondamantius @Albert_Tzy sorry for the weird question, but do you know where Commatech sells the FKMini4 nowadays? I always wanted to try it but when I look it up, their product pages on aliexpress, korean sites have been removed and I cant make any account on Taobao

[QuestionForDrewLevin @Question4DrewL]

@drewlevin I am a heavy advocate of increasing getting primary role % over reducing autofill %.
I like to believe I am in the 0.001% that genuinely understands the matchmaking system and its flaws and most importantly can recommend viable and realistic solutions that can be implemented.

[QuestionForDrewLevin @Question4DrewL]

@drewlevin I would like to hear Riot's opinion on them rather having 3 players on their secondary role rather than 1 fill.
The system in the past 3/4 years has prioritized secondarying 3 players when it could be primarying 2 of them. I have seen this case over and over.

[QuestionForDrewLevin @Question4DrewL]

@drewlevin I think I am in the 0.1% when it comes to knowledge about matchmaking and I can help out if anyone on the Riot team wants someone to eloquently talk about coherent problems that plagued matchmaking, but also solutions as thats always the hardest part.

There's also a breaking point for secondarying players vs q time improvement and I urge Riot to test this sweet spot to validate that players dislike secondarying as its nearly autofill for most and riot should treat these 2 terms as nigh interchangable.

[QuestionForDrewLevin @Question4DrewL]

.@drewlevin I think the biggest mistake is matchmaking prioritizing NOT having 1 autofill over secondarying 2. There should be a greater emphasis on players getting primary role; as a lower secondary role % + higher autofill % + higher primary role % is MUCH healthier

[QuestionForDrewLevin @Question4DrewL]

Why does Riot prefer secondarying 3 players so NOT A SINGLE person is on their main role, rather than primarying 2 players and autofilling 1 player.
When people prefer playing their main role over anything else, is it worth to reduce autofill % over increasing primary role %

[Drew Levin @drewlevin]

1.8 btw

2.7 for d1+

secondary is 10ish

autofill really does not happen that often

[QuestionForDrewLevin @Question4DrewL]

@drewlevin And like with anything, there is a sweet spot and breaking point and I urge Riot to test this sweet spot with players prefering 'slightly' more autofill if it means getting their primary role more often and most importantly less secondarying

@drewlevin @Zephrike The system in at least the past 3 years has been prioritzing secondarying 3 players when it could be primarying 2 of them.
I have seen this case over and over, never with 3 though as the system seems to prioritize getting games.
1/2

[QuestionForDrewLevin @Question4DrewL]

@drewlevin than a higher secondary role % + lower autofill % + lower primary role %.
As consensus among players is preference to be autofilled slightly more if it means they can get their primary role more often and less secondary which to many is almost equal to being filled
2/2

[QuestionForDrewLevin @Question4DrewL]

@drewlevin @Zephrike In matchmaking the most common case is 1) Secondary 2 players when it could primary 1 and autofill 1. Case 2) Secondary 3 players when it could primary 2 and autofill 1

[QuestionForDrewLevin @Question4DrewL]

@drewlevin Is there anything in place to match players who get jungle as a secondary role or is it truly only for autofilled junglers?
I think it is genuinely (!) of high importance that it is unfair for 1 team to have a jg main and the other to jg as a secondary role.

[QuestionForDrewLevin @Question4DrewL]

@drewlevin @kaxo_ta @Shunrim Could you elaborate more on punishment duration on non severe cases where the severity of account sharing is not extreme e.g. it did not have any impact on ranked queue.
Is the normal pusishment being banned permanently or X days and what is it in those less severe cases?

[QuestionForDrewLevin @Question4DrewL]

@drewlevin Could you elaborate more on whether shared/sold accounts in the past will be banned permanently or 30 days e.g. in the case where the severity of account sharing is not extreme and did not have any impact on ranked queue

[QuestionForDrewLevin @Question4DrewL]

@LSXYZ9 If someone struggles to play professional league due to having no mouse that truly fits the hand or grip/doesnt click as fast as you want it to, what would you tell them if they are in such a slump with peripherals issues impacting their gameplay and also their mental.

[QuestionForDrewLevin @Question4DrewL]

@drewlevin @StarlightAPM @Broadloader @Tarny262 @pentaless1 If I am challenger EUW and I created a new account, handlevel it all by myself and start climbing on it, am I safe to do so? Because I dont want to trick the skill evaluation and wish I started master elo to have another account but I will play my main role on it and try hard.

[QuestionForDrewLevin @Question4DrewL]

@drewlevin @july4flowers As in this case, there is respectively 1 autofill + 1 secondary or 2 secondary role but its always 1 autofill only for the second option

[QuestionForDrewLevin @Question4DrewL]

@drewlevin @july4flowers I think the issue people struggle to voice is someone can get YOUR primary role as a secondary role while you are getting autofilled or secondary-role'd yourself and the solution to let you be on your main role and the other person to be autofilled, should objectively be better?

[QuestionForDrewLevin @Question4DrewL]

@drewlevin Thanks for the reply. Could you also tell us more about the consequences of account sharing in the case of difference in severity of account sharing as someone else only logging in and checking the account versus someone playing actual games on the account.
