While playing dynamic queue times can be long and that's understandable. But I would much rather have longer queue times rather than getting people who don't know how to or don't want to play support. They cause someone to waste at least 20 mins of time rather than waiting an extra 5 minutes.
Starcraft243ver2 votesYou dont understand that the counterpart to removing autofill is not "longer queue time", it's "virtualy infinite queue time".
Grymmstrike2 votesNo, it isn't. It would be longer queue times, but it would probably not even end up being as long as currently, when you consider the fact that it routinely takes 20+ minutes to get INTO a match due to dodges, and another 20+ minutes of having your autofilled ADC averaging 2cs/min and your autofilled Master Yi support INTing into the enemy tower before you can surrender.
Starcraft243ver2 votesSure. Where's the demonstration ? Here's mine :
What happens when you lack a role and there is not autofill :
1000 players starts to queue for a game, there are only 100 supports. 500 of the players find a match thanks to the 100 support. 500 players are still waiting.
1000 new players starts to queue they bring 100 new supports
you now have a total of 1500 players queuing (the 500 who were waiting + the 1000 new). the 500 who were waiting are priorized and get matched with the 100 new supports. 1000 players are still waiting
1000 new players starts ... ...
1500 waiting ... But now the 1500 waiting will have to wait until 3000 new players bring 300 new support to get matched. These 3000 new players will be waiting for 6000 new players to connect to bring 600 supports ....
Repeat until 10 000 players are waiting with 1h+ queue time.
Picking role before the game was a new feature, before that you had to respect pick order, everytime. So the system is better than before, and it NEEDS autofill, else it's not just the queue time will be longer, it's the queue time will GROW so much you wont even be able to play.
XSpiritusX1 votesYou guys live in entirely different worlds in regards to queue time. One of you is bronze and the other is plat 1. When you are in the top 1.7% of players on your server from a ladder rank perspective, I'm sure auto-fill saves lives. At least in NA I happen to know that ~80% of players are below gold, ~92% of players are below plat, and ~98.5% of players are below diamond, so while it's fairly easy for bronze/silver/gold players to get reasonable queue times without auto-fill, I imagine the queue lengths are crazy long in plat+ even with auto-fill enabled.
meowwow71 votesthat isn't counting dodges either :P
