Marksmen being professional play oriented class, faster paced and faster paced soloq games, burstier and burstier soloq METAs didn't do good for the class and it finally happened.

Statistics are taken from league of graphs. I think their statistics over mained roles are quite reliable. Their popularity of roles statistics corresponded with Rioter's posts in the past.

So lets take a quick look at it:

ROLE IRON+ POPULARITY BRONZE+ POPULARITY SILVER+ POPULARITY GOLD+ POPULARITY
TOP 21.5% 21.5% 21.4% 21.1%
MID 20.6% 20.6% 20.8% 21.0%
JNGL 20.3% 20.2% 20.2% 20.5%
BOT 19.1% 19.1% 19.4% 20.0%
SUP 18.5% 18.5% 18.2% 17.4%

AND

ROLE PLATINUM+ POPULARITY DIAMOND+ POPULARITY
MID 21.4% 21.7%
JNGL 21.0% 21.0%
TOP 20.8% 19.9%
BOT 20.3% 20.5%
SUP 16.4% 18.2%

There are some differences between MMR but generally it's Mid by a mile>Top=AD>JG>Supp in terms of pick rate

Are you looking at all games including normals or is that just for ranked as well?

This is just Ranked Solo/Duo

Oh btw, mid might be the most picked secondary role to get primary role everytime. Does your internal system take this into account for example? How does it work exactly anyway?

You can't just say yours data is different without giving any context. I bet other Rioters also saw this post and decided to say nothing because probably they don't know how their internal system works unless the ones who structured it.

This is strictly for Primary role
