Almost every single loss I've had in my past ~50 rankedgames has been the direct result of auto-fill

Presumably a majority of wins are also attributed to auto-fill.

Why is this system still enabled in ranked?

Ranked has turned into a complete fucking joke. Skill is largely irrelevant, with the outcome boiling down to which team has more auto-fills and in which roles.

It's not necessary. My queues are under 2 minutes and the auto-fill is evenly distributed between support, jungle, and top. The system aggressively tries to fill roles.

Without auto-fill Queues would be even longer and loner queues would also mean worse matchmaking because system had to expand the "search zone"

autofill is probably needed in higher elo's but below diamond the que times were never longer than 6 mins.

As far as remember there were threads people complaining about something like 15 min Qs. Im guessingthe obvious reason is that low elo really hates support role, while higher elos has more of them.

My queues were 15-20 minutes and the game quality was highly preferable to the shit we have now.

I've decayed to low Platinum and I'm getting an auto-fill in almost every game, with less than 2 minute queues. Your argument has no weight. This isn't high Diamond, and auto fills are rampant.

Worse matchmaking with everyone in roles they can play is preferable to closer MMR with a random set of players on one or both teams having no fucking idea how to play their role or champion.

I don't think anyone queues for ranked and thinks 'I want to get into a game asap, even if it means one of my team mates has no idea how to play their role!'

Then you're gonna make a thread how you lost a game because matchmaking gave you a much lower elo jungler.

I did recently have enchanter main

He has like bunch of games 57% winrate on enchanters

Sub 30% winrate on everything else

He first picked first time garen top with bond of stone XDDD

**Quallity game **

OP the problem is what is the alternative? Another alternative is "I said mid first wars like in season 3" I am pick above!!!! etc

Yes if support main gets autofilled its fked up but we have no alternatives

Support can't really get autof-filled, you get auto-fill protection when you get auto-filled or play support.

It was most likely his secondary option and with how guaranteed you are to get support role, current support mains barely even need to know theyr secondary role.

For all your big bragging about being high rank, your inability to multirole is kinda sad. You can go and look up my rank, I could be bronze 5 for all it mattered, but you should be able to play all 5 roles. Plenty of high ELO players can play all 5, and I know for a fact that at high ELO, people trade roles if you ask usually. Don't blame hardstuck on anything but yourself.
