Please throw out autofill

Hi, This is an ongoing problem for me. since yesterday (wed. 8-2-2017), i've wanted to play warwick jungle you know, just for a single game to see what it's like. but seriously, i cant go into a game where i play the role i want. I always choose jungle and mid and whenever i actually get the jungle role, someone who was assigned support leaves the game, because he doesn't feel like playing support. at first, i thought that kind of behaviour was rude and childish but now I get it. I play league to enjoy myself and how do I play league to enjoy myself the most? By playing the roles I want. Then today, i got into 3 champ select. the 1st, i was assigned jungle (nice, i like that) but the support left (guess why?). the 2nd game, i was assigned adc (kind of odd, since i didn't wish adc and thats a role thats quite popular), guess what, the support left again (not the same guy). the 3rd time, and this is where it gets really frustrating, I get assigned to be support, seriously! I know it's to "lower the que time" but i was looking for a single game to get into and play warwick, hence, i didn't really have the time, to sit and play a 35-45 minute game, in a role i dont like and champions I close to never play. I would rather 5-6 minutes for a game, where i get to play the role i want, rather tan waiting 3 minutes for a lobby (not a game, since someone is always leaving due to autofill) and then get assigned support and therefor having to wait 35-45 until the game end, to get into a new lobby. you see how your system doesn't work? sincerely, everyone who isn't support main

Autofill isn't the problem. The problem is summoners' attitudes when they get support. They seem to have been spoiled by the role pref system. Autofill is necessary in order to actually get into a game due to the amount of people that want to play each role.

The difference wouldn't be 'a couple minutes.' Before autofill it wasn't uncommon to get 30 minute queues in low silver at non-peak times.
