Decision: Is autofill really necessary?

I know, I know, I understand, nobody wants to play support, so rito has to implement autofill so some people who has no idea how to play support will be assigned to support on a random chance. And here's where the question comes in: is autofill really necessary?

Sure, autofill can reduce about 5-10 minutes of queue time, which is huge, make no mistake. However, once someone on your team is autofilled as support or even, you are autofilled to support and you have no idea how to support, then we're looking at a potential waste of 45 minutes on a lost game. Now I want everyone to think about this: Is the 5-10 minutes of queue time reduced by autofill worth the 45 minutes and 20 lp you waste on a lost game?

In my opinion, Riot should conduct a mass-scale survey that asks the player whether they feel like autofill is necessary or not, like the one I'm going to conduct here, only on a much larger scale.

If u cant play support and your playing ranked then u should stop playing ranked and go back to normals. If ur in normals and get autofilled, guess what? Time to learn support.

Jesus i may be best at one role but back before you could pick a role...(not very long ago) you had to know at least 2 champs in pretty much every role to climb decently quick. I wouldnt even mind bringing pick order back. People didnt bitch as hard about being support like 20% of the time
