Autofill is causing more problems that what is solving

I'm fine with getting autofill. I can play all lanes. The problem is not with me, but with the comunity. Here is whats going on with autofill.

  1. The purpose of autofill is to lower que times. Actually, is making que times longer. Too many people are dodging just because they got autofill. Normally, it takes me about 10-12 minutes to get into a game. Without autofill, it took me about 8 minutes (I play mid lane a lot). So, whats the purpose of autofill if it actually takes longer to get into a game?

  2. Toxicity. Many players , (especially low elo players) get extremely toxic just because they get autofilled. So, instead of solving a problem, autofill is actually creating problems. I personally prefer to wait 15 minutes for a game with no toxic players than to get a game in 3 minutes and get a toxic team.

  3. Even more toxicy, but this time, from the teamates. Many autofilled players dont play a champ fit for their role. This obviously creates a disadvantage to the team. Teamates know this, and to prevent a player from using that off meta champ, they ban it. This creates a very toxic situation, and may lead to even more dodges, or to a teamates feeding, or to the autofilled player intentionally feeding and trolling.

  4. Unskilled players. When players get autofilled, they probabily get support. In some cases, they get the role they are less skilled with. this then makes the mmr system completely useless. Cause it doesnt matter if they have good mmr, the players could had gotten good by playing other lanes, but then they get support, and they dont know how to. This creates a game in where the mmr becomes useless (more useless than what it already is.)

Note: Just to be clear, when there's an autofill player in my team, i tend to swap roles, to prevent this problems. this doesnt always works, as sometimes the autofilled player doesnt want my role, making me unable to solve the problem. When such situation happens, i tend to dodge, I preffer to get a 30 minutes ban and 10lp loss than to get 20lp loss due to having an extremely toxic team.

Autofill function needs to go... or atleast in lower elo's, where que times are actually longer due the the autofill.

i 100% agree, I can only play 3 roles effectively since I just do not have the time to put into the game to learn the two other roles. I would rather wait longer to get a guaranteed role. The amount of dodges I get per que is unreal i counted last week and i got into lobby an average of 3 times before I got into the lobby that gets a game. I spend like 25% of time looking for a game then 75% actually playing with the current setup.
