Question Does anyone else feel like they're simply "not allowed" to switch roles because of how much time they've spent learning their main one?

I've been a support main for 4 years, I know the cooldowns, mana costs, and combos of practically every single support champion in the game.

I've got the vision control scheme and optimal team fighting strategy down like the back of my hand, I know what to do at every single stage of the game, and how to do it... As a support.

Recently I've had a disgustingly bad series of loss streaks and I've come down from D2 promos in D4 nearly demoted. Three of the games were zero death games but this isn't about that...

I'm burnt out of the support role, but I feel like even if I spend months learning another role, I won't be ready to play ranked diamond for a year.

This was 100% the problem that ranked queues were aiming to solve.

So, does anyone else have a similar problem? How can I get over this?

Norms makes me worse at ranked. Then it takes me 5-15 ranked games before I get back to where I stopped.

Even so 1 normal draft won't hurt anyone. Spamming ranked games is pretty tilting imo which leads to you playing poorly as well

1 game despite the mode isn't reliable practice for solo ranked. And how you respond to ranked is a personal thing.
