What happened to the Omit option for choosing roles?

When the new client first got released for the PBE there was an option to omit a role just in case of auto fill. Why was that never implemented. It gets annoying when people get auto filled to a role they least desire and end up doing terribly because of that. I feel like riot did it to "shorten queue times" but im sure if we are playing ranked we would rather have a longer queue time and a quality game rather than a short queue time a players getting auto filled.

They "tried it" on small servers with very few people, and it "didn't help queue times".

What a great sample size to make a conclusion.

It is undoubtly because support would be the number one omittion, therefore defeating the purpose.

The necessity of auto fill happened.

Also probably everyone just put support.

I understand this in normal games but no one wants a low quality ranked game where things are supposed to be serious and you are supposed to play the best of your ability.

That wasn't a thing until season 6. Before that, we had pickorder, and no one had any guarentee of getting their prefered role.

Best of your ability, was meant for any role you were given. And it meant that players were expected to be reasonably proficient in all roles. Why should that expectation change, even when we have a role selection?

I mean seriously, your not doing enough to earn your rank, if your unable to dabble in all positions.
