"Remake" games wasting "Autofill Protection"

My game just remade.. now my Autofill is active again. Can you do something about this?? I didn't even get to play a game, so I feel like the "Autofill Protection" shouldn't count. Please fix this Riot!

its stupid as hell, and riots reasoning was because "you were still protected for the number of queues we specified".

Made a thread on this exact same thing ages ago. Nothing will get done... Well, if more people complain about it, then it's bound to become a slight itch on the heel of a janitor at Riot.

Honestly just need to remove Auto fill. no good has come from auto fill since its release.

I think Riot said at some point that there were technical limitations to the system where remade games still looked like full matches to the autofill protection.

But that explanation doesn't make sense as remakes correctly don't count as wins or losses for things like promo series. Riot has ways to make remakes flagged differently for various client systems, just not autofill protection for some reason.

And you can get autofill protection from playing a remade game so it evens out, unless you want those games not to count too.
