Thanks Riot, for ruining my game experience with autofill.

As the title says, thanks. The addition to auto fill for all draft queues has ruined the experience. 1 out of every 4 games i play i get auto filled support. I can play it, but im bad at it. Thats why i dont select it in queues. But you give it to me anyway. This makes getting out of bronze or silver incredibly hard because of people not getting the role they want and just playing Darius or lissandra support. How am I supposed to move up in ranked if you get into a game with a rengar support. This is a game breaking addition to Queues. Ive lost a ton of LP because of it. But its not even the players fault. I should be able to play what im most comfortable with in ranked. Cutting 2 minuets of a Que is not worth losing a 40 minuet game. Please get rid of this. Its ruining the game.

i would wait a hour to get a game where all players get their preferred roles, be kind and have good manners than wait 5 s and get thrown into "fiesta de la creme" with a 999% chance of losing...

Sweet so now instead of waiting on queues we'll be forced into groups/roles we don't like. Ahhh nothing is more wonderful then queuing up just to see another dodge. It takes just as long for people to get in games when we go through 10+ dodges. Quality content rito!

agreed, most players would say a 10 minute queue for 40 minutes of playing an actual good game is always much better than 2 minute wait for 20 minute game where you get autofilled into your worst role, and have to play your most hated/least liked champion. i don't like playing soraka support, its boring please don't make me play it riot

#You've played support twice in the past 20 games

Your entire thread is a straight up bullshit lie. Cry more

Yes. Get rid of autofill and make the queue take 10 minutes. I don't mind watching other Youtube Videos in the mean time. I mean, I didn't log on to League to actually play it, I just have it up and running as another option to past time, after a game has been found after a 10 minute queue. (Sarcasm) I know where you are coming from, but people would then be complaining about how queue times take too long. If they got rid of autofill, and you only get 1 of the 2 options you set, there would most certainly be players that would wait an unreasonable time, for both Rank games and Normal Drafts. That would be the new issue. Boards would be titled "Waited 30 minutes for a game... and that one was dodged." Let's be reasonable, Mid and Top, if I am not mistaken (If I am, please correct me), are the most popular roles. If you have dozens of players chose these roles, and only a handful chose Support (Least popular role), those top and mid players would be taking a lot longer than Support players. Bet then that Mid Lane Mages would be more popular as support (Speculation). My question for you: What can you come up with that Riot could adopted and actually work while not having a(n) new issue(s) of a similar popularity? The only thing I can think of is adding a new function where you have that one role you do not want to play, meaning that you have a 2 preferred, 1 you do not want to touch, and 2 you might be autofilled to. But even then I think that still cause timing issues and is generally a dumb idea. Autofill may not be liked but it has a reason to be there, for the other millions of gamers who do not care or would be in a good spot but do not have the needed team. Do consider why autofill is here. I do not have any issues, because I do not mind playing support, though I prefer mid or jungle. Or Riot could just annihilate the issue all together by getting rid of Draft Queue. I mean, just being stucked with Blind Queues seems far better of an idea than listening to you all complaining about autofill. Add that to the list to consider as well, which is better, Blind or Draft? If you say Draft, do us a favor, and stop complaining. Critique as much as you like but stop complaining before Riot does do something like get ride of Draft. Then everyone will be upset.

There is literally no other game that does this. A youtuber made a good comparison with WoW, if you are a tank waiting for a group, you play as a tank no matter what. You don't suddenly get put into a healing/support role just to make timers quicker. Your whole party would just die. Same damn principle. Get rid of autofill, then you would also have less queue dodging
