Tell me why we have autofill in normal games again?

I just had 4 dodges in a row because of people getting autofilled and not wanting to deal with it. Personally I don't mind it but I know there are a lot of stubborn people that only play one or two rolls, and someone people for some reason refuse to play support. But I get it, you might only have time for one or two games and you don't want to play a role you don't really enjoy, especially in normals. At least, outside of ranked for now, can we get rid of it in normal draft pick? I would rather wait a couple minutes to get a team that is enjoying themselves and not complaining or just to avoid 2-3+ dodges in a row and wasting my time and 9 others.

It's not just gonna be a couple-minute wait though. That's the problem.

If you've got five slots and they just keep filling people into four of those slots, the overflow goes into slot five. That's how it works. If you've got no one queueing for that fifth slot and you remove autofill, then that just keeps piling up and piling up and it gets obnoxious.

When I queue for a game and I don't select support as one of my roles, it'll take me anywhere from two to five minutes to find a game. When I select support, it takes me like two seconds, tops. That suggests autofill is already working in overtime. Remove it entirely and waits will get to be pretty obnoxious.
