AUTO-FILL IN RANKED???

I get it, we'd have longer queue times. But I'd rather wait than lose promos or any ranked games for that matter. What If people wanna play for fun, and not wait for very long? Cool! Use autofill in norms. But ranked? Keep it out. It not only affects the one being autofilled, but also the team that has to deal with their lack of experience in a role they will usually find more often than not, uncomfortable with. The entire team suffers! I believe the player base would prefer this. Don't believe me? Create one of those surveys you put out. See the response. Also, get yourself some statistics on games where players have been auto-filled vs not. Do they often win the game when they get auto-filled? When a team has more auto-filled players than the opposing side, does that also affect the winning outcome? I believe you'd find it does. So, please. TAKE AUTOFILL OUT OF RANKED.

I think this system is fine. You have the same chance to get autofilled player as your enemy and queues are faster. Plus you have autofill protected option so It is a good compromise imho. However, I like playing on every lane so I can be not objective.

I heard that they are planning on changing the ranked system so that you are ranked based on your position.

This way, if you are auto filled, you will be placed into a game where you are facing players of a similar skill level as your skill in that position.

If you are a Diamond jungler, but you are a Silver support, .. when you get auto-filled support, you are facing other Silvers instad of Diamonds.

This will also encourage players to improve in other roles.

Using the same example, .. If you are ranked Diamond overall, you are not going to intentionally que up as a support in order to improve your skill in that position.

What Chalizard said. It's the same deal with trolls, leavers/disconnects. It's brutal to have one, it plummets your chance of winning, but they happen just as frequently on enemy teams as with yours.
