Today i made a draft lobby.I picked Top primary and Jungle secondary.I wait for about 2 minutes then i accept the afk check.I get into champ select and what role do i get?

I GET SUPPORT.

WELL DONE RIOT.

Like,what is this? I do not enjoy supporting even if i have support champions so i dodged the queque and came here. I think Riot should fix this issue because if that was a ranked queque i would have lost lp for dodging because i am not good at supporting and don't enjoy it. Tell your opinion and if this happened to you.

Also Riot.Please fix.

This is from Autofill. If the role you select has an extremely high queue time it can sometimes Fill you into a high priority role to lower queue times. After getting Autofilled you will be guaranteed your selected roles. You cannot be autofilled in your Promos.

While it might suck to not get your selected roles 100% of the time, it may be necessary to lower queue times this way if few players are queueing for some roles. This is still way better than last season where you were never guaranteed your role. Prior to the New Champion Select, you were expected to have a little experience in every role in case this happened.

The problem isnt that i dont really have experience,i have a little bit of experience with supporting(Janna main) but i actually dont like supporting anymore,i do not enjoy that role for personal reasons and i have decided that i want to main Poppy Poppy from now on.I just wanted to play the roles that i selected(Yes Poppy can be played as a support but i dont want to get screamed at for not picking a normal support) I think that you should be able to choose if you want to have Autofill enabled or not because it can make a very big difference in the outcome of a game(Especially ranked)
