One full night as "Fill". Here are the results.

I decided to play an entire night as "Fill" last night and here are the roles I got in order:

Mid
Support
Support
ADC
Support
ADC
Support
Jungle
Support
Support
Support
Support (remake)
Support

So out of my 13 games I got Support 9 times (69%), ADC 2 times (15%), Jungle once (8%), and Mid once (8%). Think it would be nice if it was spread out a bit better. Although I did enjoy playing a lot of Janna. I dont really understand the big issue with autofill. I had a good time playing last night even if I was support mostly.

EDIT: ~~Just queued up again and got Jungle.~~ Someone dodged and I got Support. I'm also a Jungle/Top main.

People just don't like support, It's that simple it's a meaningless thankless role. They find it boring and don't invest into a sight stone for whatever reason, let alone they aren't bot lane mains who understand certain match ups or let alone have the right rune pages to play against said match up.

People want to build damage and yolo carry a game rather than "omfg I do no dmg this champ sucks".

This does not only apply to League. Support roles are like this in general, and everyone wants to be the hero... (Faker syndrome)

Brand support would like a word with your "I do no damage" claim.

Everybody already forgot about support "I'm gonna steal your kills with my laser" Lux and support "I still 100-0 everybody" Annie?

Zyra : Look at me i am support. Oh what is this? I dealt the most damage? These 2 champs are the cancer of LoL. They do so much damage with so little items. Especially Zyra

Comments like this are the cancer of lol since they imply support should have no measurable contribution to his team outside of being a buff and heal bot.

idc about them bring support. i care about zyra dealing too much damage with no items. they even disabled brand from doombotds... because he was making it easy.

The issue with "auto fill" is that a lot of people have an allergy to the one role you got the most.

From my experience it was ranging about 35-45% support, 5% jungle, 15% mid, 15-20% top. I gave away my adc position to either top or support. Dont ever let me adc

I know how you feel man. Im terrible at adc.

Although you can take information out of this, having a small sample of just 13 games makes putting it into % makes it a little inaccurate, because if there were 100 fill games that 8% mid would be a LOT lower But I know you were just talking about one night of fill

That's strange. At the end of the last season, I played 30+ games as Fill and got support every single time. (To be fair, I actually wanted to play support, and did it as an experiment to see if I'd ever get anything else.)

Did they change the algorithm, or are more people playing support in the preseason (with the new items)?

AptestNov 27, 20161 votes

they changed the algo, + auto-fill is helping out.

Have done fill for 3 games. 1-Mid 2- ADC 3- Jg will keep going and see. But so far I haven't gotten jg. I actually was going to practice some support and put fill b/c its faster.

Immortal spaxNov 27, 20161 votes

actually this is interesting, because you never get top, yesterday i changed my "picks" to adc/top to adc/mid, and i get a lot of times mid, while with adc/top a always get adc, so mid isnt the most played role but its top, very interesting.

because is boring to Robin... and also because you watch for the first 10 minutes your carry farming sounds like you are the assistant and the guys is your boss... that' simply because the meta of the game is made like this.. and people expect it. An example is the 3 million Mastery points Sienged and his Counter Jungle strategy, he had a ban from reports and the Response of riot was Ridiculous.

if there is a meta interesting for a duo Jungle you will see support jungler or duo without .

back in the days the meta was the most efficient way to team up but it was not the only one... RIOT modeled the game on this kind of meta, adding the passive farming.

If you take off the passive farming items you will have more roles because if there is a support bot is not really a disadvantage have a second jungler to counter jungle because what you lose in gold from the passive farmin is not earned by the enemy support so if you want play Counter Jungler you can.

I think the most interesting was to create a series of Runes not based on stats but based on action.

Like having Bonus experience if you farm in the Enemy jungle or having bonus experience if you kill the enemy Jungler or bonus in Minions kills eccecc.

the stats boost of the actual rune system is the equivalent to a Gold boost at the beginning.
