What's the point of being a Midlaner with this autofill system?

Hey there. I'm gold ll, and I usually take Mid as my primary role and Top as secondary role when it comes to ranked games, and one thing that makes me upset is that I play Mid like 20-25% of the time, really! Either I get autofilled to Support or go Top, and when I finally get Mid, someone has to leave champion select, so I rarely play Mid, how unlucky! I think Riot doesn't get that most players would rather wait a few more minutes to get the lane they want so they bring their full potential to the game! Getting the secondary role is ok, but getting autofilled is something there's a lot of questions to put onto! When I get autofilled I won't be able to give my true potential to the game, which is bad to my teammates, I would rather wait more 10 minutes than getting autofilled to be honest. I think the autofill system was a mistake, I know that in higher elos I might get hard to find 2 teams with all the 5 roles, since some roles are way more popular than others and there's less people avaiable to match-up with, but autofill is defenitively not the solution, even though you get autofill protection for the next 2-3 games. Not to mention that putting ''Fill'' as a role makes you go Supp like 80% of the time in higher elos. That's just what I think, thanks for reading and feel free to comment.

Upon what do you base this assumption? Amount of boards crying? lmao [slayer-pantheon-popcorn]

confirmation bias

i queue normal drafts currently (no point in ranked pre-season anyway) mid/jungle all the time and while it's common to get jungle, sometimes in a long streak of jungle games, mid is likely more common and being filled support (or top/adc) is rare (i played a couple of support games voluntarily though)

furthermore, if you were filled or played support you have two games immunity, not sure if it's shared between queues i.e. like if you could play support in the normal draft to turn off the auto-fill in ranked but you can try, even if it is not shared between the queues, after you filled once, and it happens rarely, you are immune in the same queue for two games for sure

also back then you being so self-entitled that you think you "deserve" to get your role all the time you would likely be one of those "mid or feed" guys or "give me mid im pro pls"

i bet you beg for your mid every lobby anyway

if you want to "give your true potential" every game find a team which looks for a mid laner

The passive aggression is super real
