R.I.P. Autofill

Ilegit321·Jan 18, 2017·2 votes·394 views

I've been playing ranked these past couple of weeks and there's 1 thing that I don't like compared to last season. What is it you might say, AUTOFILL. If you don't know what autofill is, it is when you get a role you didn't choose in ranked due to position shortages. I am not a fan of it at all. Autofill could make you play a position your not comfortable with. For example, today, i was in a duo queue with my friend and i picked mid/jg. We got into champion select, guess what I got. Yes, support. If I'm not comfortable with that role and I'll probably not do to well in it and lose my ranked game. I would rather wait 10 more minutes just to get the position I am comfortable with. Feel free to leave your thoughts about this and please answer the poll. <3

Good Luck On The Rift, Ilegit321

So get comfortable with all positions, just like everyone else had to do for 5 straight seasons.

Absolutely. Autofill solves a few incredibly important problems with role select (queue times, "fill" players wanting variety in their roles, lack of respect for roles people don't main, strategically avoiding queues any time autofill has to be enabled...) so people that say it needs to be deleted without acknowledging that it is pretty much the only reason role select can be viable just piss me off.

The choice is pretty much "deal with autofill" or "delete role select" with the only other plausible option being to go back to dynamic queue with autofill only occasionally turned on (which I also wouldn't really mind) but as a solution that is way sketchier.
