15 minutes to get into a game... thanks autofill

Before autofill was ever introduced i typically had 3-4 minute queue times, and i never minded at all. People dodged a LOT less games back then so once you got in champion select you were pretty likely to play with that team. Fast foward to now. It takes me literally 5+ champion selects to geta single game, adding up the time od being in champion select till some dodges, and adding queue time, i easilu wait 15+ minutes to get a single game, all thanks to autofill. First 5 champion selects i get my role, but now that ive wait 15 minutes, i get autofilled. So im honestly clueless about what riot means by "autofill improving queue time health", because it might find a match a 5 seconds quicker, but because of all the autofill dodgers im in 5+ champion selects before i get into a single game.

Maybe at challenger elo autofill might actually help a little bit, but for someone who just wants to learn a new champion in normal games autofill makes the queue times take 3x longer and im get autofilled literally every game im not autofilled protected. Autofill is the bane of my existence in league
