"Autofill Activated"

Hey guys, really feel like this needs to be posted.

Recently since roughly around 3 days ago (for me) i have had autofill pop up 24/7 for no reason at all (apparently becasue of lack of players according to league). This is causing absolute havoc in low elo games where people are getting roles they either don't play and have champions for that autofill role or literally have little to no experience in that role.

The whole point of having two roles to pick was to avoid this exact scenario and causing and up-rise in frustrated players that just choose to troll and do w/e because they have a roll they didn't pick. It is ruining the ranked experience for players and this needs to be sorted out.

I hope someone from riot can justify this situation please because right now ranked is a complete mess. (especially flex que)

Please upvote if you share this frustration

thanks for your time reading!

I find this pathetic for low elo players to be forced to autofill. I am currently silver 5 and have to autofill, which almost everytime gives you support. In normal games too not only ranked.. I would 10 000 time rather wait 10 minutes for the roles i asked for than to wait 5 minutes for a possibility to get a role i dont play and that i will most likely feed in. Plus, that in my opinion is like wasting 20-60m of my time just because riot can't think about what they are doing before actually doing it. Good one riot, good f****** one!

Yeah. its really bad.. I rather wait 10 mins than play 30 mins and lose with role that i don´t play.. I litteraly hate it. Even in normals it´s autofilling almost every time. Estimated time - 2:30 . Game found in 20 secs but give me something that i don´t play and don´t wanted. ( Supp, Jungle) Hope they turn it off in next patch.. summoner 4

When you're low ELO you should be forced to learn all the roles so you actually learn the game to get better and see how things are on the other side. Would avoid shit like someone opening 0-6 at 10 minutes then blame the jungler for not helping, know how to follow up on support engage/CCs as ADC or how to work together as ADC/support rather than just bitch at the other person when you have no idea what their role is

I don't really get the point. They give us the choice of primary and secondary, but then give us something completely random. You might as well have just kept pick order if this is how it's going to be in S6 Ranked. x_x

They said they were enabling the queue AT ALL times, I'm assuming that means regardless of lack of players or not. So they basically just want to randomly screw you at any point in time. It also seems to mean "regardless of if the role you wanted is obtainable in the team you're placed in" considering people have been autofilled into positions that could have been avoided(a support getting mid, mid getting support scenario for example).

I have the solution:

Blind Pick Ranked

That's actually a really good idea considering they seem to LOVE Blind Pick for absolutely no reason. It even got to stay when Teambuilder got deleted because "Teambuilder didn't reflect their goals as well as they wanted". Wtf is blind pick?!

Please turn this off! Why would I want to play support or ADC in ranked if I never play them?! Worst function ever implemented...

what i find annoying about this is normally i would play the game as support then the next game i would have autofill protected so i would be garenteed one of the chosen positions. but after every game i play support it still says autofill active and does not change i have played 10 games as a support but not had it changed once. where as before if you played a game as support or put fill as your position then the next game it would normally let you have a better chance of getting the position you wanted
