Can Ya'll Please Quit Queue Dodging in Normals?

Look, I totally understand that ya'll don't enjoy the whole 'autofill' concept. I really do. I don't much care for it, myself, as I am a Support main at heart, anyway. But still, I totally get it.

However, what I don't get is how this 'autofill' concept poses so much of a threat to some of ya'll in Normals games? In Ranked, it's 100% understandable for you to really care about the role(s) you are given, as you can base your performance off of a role (or roles) that you know you're good at. But, this doesn't affect Normals games at all, due to the lack of a need of competitiveness in those types of queues.

So, seriously, for the sake of the rest of us who don't play Ranked, are taking a break from Ranked, or just want to relax in general, could ya'll please stop dodging in Normals queues?

It would be much appreciated.

Funny enough, I mentioned those players in my original post. Very last paragraph, I included them in it.

EDIT: In fact, I mentioned them because I am one of them.

I play normals for 2 reasons:

To try a different champ/build in a particular role.
Just to chill and have fun.

For reason #1, if I get autofilled, I am going to dodge 100% of the time. I went in for the sole reason of trying a specific champ at a specific role and did not get my role, so playing the game would be a complete waste of my time.

For reason #2, if I get autofilled support, I am going to dodge 100% of the time. Support is not fun and I am not going to waste my time playing a normal game at the support role.

Dodging a normal game as 0 consequences and is really only a positive since playing a game I have no desire of playing due to being autofilled is not the experience I am looking for.

So to answer your question, no I will not stop dodging normals if I am being forced to dodge. Why they even have autofill for a normal game I will never understand. I guess it makes some sense for ranked but it's just HILARIOUS to me that Riot things I will autofill in a normal game. Lmfao.

why did u even put 2 reasons lol

Because I have 2 reasons, and both reasons will result in me dodging?

it just seems that 1 is the only answer cause you get autofilled any way and dodge whether or not you get support or not

I don't always play for the first reason. If I'm playing for the second and get autofilled in a non-support role then w/e, I'll play it out. I don't mind that so much. I will usually just play something I haven't played in a while in that case.

The majority of the time I am playing for the 2nd reason I stated. It's rare that I want to try new builds or champs but happens occasionally.
