When i get an ETA of 2:20 but i find a match 42 seconds into queue time, this is not "experiencing long queue times" and you really shouldnt be giving me jungle when i queued for mid/adc.

So you want them to make you wait an extra few minutes IN ADDITION to autofilling you? As I understand it, the non-filled fellows are the ones who do the waiting in that scenario.

Okay, no. Im saying that they need to at least give me a chance to get my roles and not wait 42 seconds to fill me.

I..im really not seeing where youre getting this from.

He's saying that because you got filled in 42 seconds, someone else doesn't get filled but takes 2 minutes.

Which is still a short que, I'd be ok with waiting 10 minutes to get my preferred role.

Don't think the system is so simple to operate only around you. It probably noticed you're the fourth or twentieth person who slotted into an overpopulated role. Rather than arbitrarily waste time it already knows it's gonna have to autofill someone. It doesn't have to let you wait to figure that out. Because if it's working with 20 mids getting a certain amount more a minute and has almost no supports getting not as many a minute it's obvious what it has to do. The matchmaker has to do this at every elo bracket while generating balanced matches and teams so if you think about it it's a pretty complicated system.

I found that for you. It's pretty recent and has some inklings of whats going on behind the scenes. For one it keeps score on how much you autofill recently. The longer you go avoiding autofill the higher the odds it will autofill you soon. When you do it goes back down. I've noticed this too and can game it by selecting fill secondary and get a role like jungle or adc (I can play them all) if I don't feel like supporting and get autofill protection. Some of the stuff they do is probably overly protective in function of those that select fill or support occasionally but it makes a lot more sense than "if you select fill you might as well be selecting support" 100% of the time for someone that just wants to be a jungle primary support secondary main for example. You couldn't do that when this initially released cause you'd be support actually every single game. Then that guy would have to drop support to play jungle and learn another role worsening the problem.

Something might be up with the queue I'm guessing. I'm bronze and get support maybe 1/7 times when i fill. There may be a massive decline in junglers and also given the fact I've NEVER been sent to mid/adc from fill wether it be auto or manual, you may just be actuall unable to get the roll without waiting a decently long time so the system just says the heck with it and puts you somewhere else.

The system has to autofill someone anyways, just be glad you found a match quick and ask someone to trade. If they don't want to just play who you wanted to in that role. Getting filled somewhere doesn't necessarily mean you have to play a champ specific to that role. I personally have played Katarina in every role (even support <3) and loved it!

I'm wondering how much your adc loved it.
