Auto fill at all ranks

Riot has tried to address the long queue times for ranked games but have been very unsuccessful, in my experience at least. One thing that was implemented was high ranks was to have a auto fill feature at a set time. I think it might be best to have this at all ranks. I for one am very tired of ten plus minute queue times. I have tried canceling the queue and queuing back up; also just letting the queue go through. Both situations have the same result. What are everyone's thoughts on this? Any chance this could happen? I would be all for this since I'm constantly in long queue times.

I'd rather wait longer for a decent match. I tend to watch videos or read when I'm in queue, so I don't really find a difference between waiting 5 minutes for a match and waiting 15.

However, I have noticed that autofill tends to lead to poorer games. Whenever autofill is enabled, I find that I have to go through champion select 4 or 5 times before I get into a game since an autofilled player on either team will likely dodge. When I get through champion select, the game is of lower quality since players are forced into roles they haven't played for months.

I tend to avoid queueing up when I see autofill is active. If I do get autofilled, I'm probably just going to dodge and do something I enjoy until the wait period finishes rather than play a role I dislike.

I wouldn't mind, i can play all roles effectively for my skill level. It would pretty much make it like old SQ, just you have a change a your main roles.
