Autofill is a joke.

Play one game in your role. Win or lose, your next game autofill is turned on. For people who are only good at one role (Trust me it is very hard to be good at everything, even two roles is a stretch for some folks) and that basically dooms your next game to be a guaranteed loss in some cases.

I am a jungler. I can kinda top lane. I put my secondary as such. I get autofilled into ADC so often it's a joke. I can't last hit I dunno how to trade and I get harassed out of lane every 20 seconds. Despite having basically 0% win rate in bot lane, with an average KD of like .2, League keeps putting me in that role. It's not gonna make me better at it. It's gonna frustrate me, lock me in low silver, and make me just not want to play the damn game any more. I'm seriously to the point where if I get autofilled to AD I'm just gonna dodge because it'll cost me less LP than playing the game and losing would anyway.

They should see what roles you have the worst winrates in and NOT give you those roles if you get autofilled. Autofill should also only ever activate if your queue is like 6+ minutes because I've had queues that were 20 seconds and I get autofilled. "To keep from high queue times" my ass.

Inb4 "People will int on roles they don't want to abuse the system" K well the bullshit of the few shouldn't hurt the needs of the many. I know so many people who cannot support, or mid, or etc, and when they get filled there they lose basically every game. This would actually make the game more balanced in the long run.

Now that I think of it... the game seemed to become much less fun and balanced after the solo queue changes back in season 5... [zombie-nunu-bummed]

Did you play back when you pretty much had to have at least basic knowledge of every roll incase you were last pick in rank? I agree with Bachelor, learning different roles will improve your overall gameplay. Get stuck auto filled as ADC? Play some games in norms as ADC. Can't CS? Go in a bot game and practice CSing ;)

If you lose a game in ADC, your elo drops, and you’ll have a slightly better chance of winning the next game anyways, especially if it puts you in your main role again.

Learning different roles will improve your overall gameplay. Especially as a jungler. It gives perspective on the viewpoint of other laners as well as their limits. Should teach you a bit more understanding and to rage out a little bit less ;-) I play fill and when I’m assigned to adc it’s generally a problem, because I’m a sub-decent adc. But I can still do it, and sometimes I even win! It’s all practice for a game that doesn’t matter anyways mate.

Next seasons rank changes should help prevent auto fill. I'll be honest I play jungle alot and never ever get auto filled . In reality though to climb in ranked you need to be a generalist which in my opinion is healthy for the game as one tricks really make it difficult to form effective team comps.

What's autofill? [sg-lulu]

I think Riot should change their rank system so that you are ranked based on your role.

This would mean if you are a Challenger jungler, but you are a Silver ADC, when you get auto-filled into ADC you are not matched against Challenger players.

This would also help players improve in other roles.

In this example, if you knew you were going to be placed against Challenger ADCs you are not likely to intentionally load into a game as an ADC in order to practice. However, if you knew you would get placed against Silver players, it would be easier for you to gain that experience.

games only autofill if you go over the timer, or if you accept a match and someone declines, that will up your chances also. just reset your Queue anytime it goes over expected time, or someone doesn't accept. if you do this, your lobby might take longer, but you won't be autofilled..

Autofill is a cancer.
