Autofill and support secondary

TLDR: For people who only play 2 roles with the secondary being support, what is being done to make sure they EVER get their primary role?


right now patch 6.23 has auto fill on

Autofill has been enabled in all queues with position preference. There is a low chance that you will receive one of the positions you did not select as primary or secondary (usually support), but queue times will be considerably reduced.

As before, you are guaranteed to get your primary or secondary position if you’ve recently been autofilled, you recently queued for support or fill, or are in a promo series.

We have concluded testing position exclusion in LAN and LAS and saw it was negatively impacting queue times, so will not be continuing development on this feature. We’re continuing to experiment with improvements to the whole champion select process.

FILL ENABLED Autofill has been enabled in all draft queues at all times

and this is great.. for people who don't put support as one of their roles, and for people who have it as their excluded role.

but for players like me... who LIKE support, and usually put support as a secondary. what is being done to prevent me from getting support 30 times in a row like i did early season 6? Even though all 30 of those games it was my "secondary" role.

for me, it is less of an issue because i play 3 roles, so i can just go from "jungle support" or "mid support" to "mid jungle" or "jungle mid", and since i mostly likely supported that last game it wont be an issue. But for people who are support secondary and ONLY play support and their primary role. what is being done to make sure they EVER get their primary role?

I've been queuing as top/mid, even though I'd much rather be top/support. I'm a top lane main who's best second role is support, but I cannot reasonably queue with support because I'll never get my best role.

Really hope they figure out something.

I am in the exact same boat. I am a top main and a support Secondary. If I do a ranked game and I want to play Top I have to put mid as my secondary.

In normals, since I play a lot of top in ranked, I usually work on my support game and just put "fill", which is just support.

Players are not gravitating to the position and I don't think the player base's attitudes will change. All dynamic queue and position select has done is made it so that players do not have to play that position if they don't want to.

I do like role selection though because you do not get arguments in champion select that you had from pick order.

its called switch solo que back to draft and force other people to do it. no one lieks to supp becuase its boring and useleess and has no impact. but hey out of picking bot and fill or jungle and fill i get supp 99% of the time

ironically i had planned to avoid this issue by taking up mid lane again

i am a jungle main, secondary support.

so i figured i could just swap between mid/ support, jungle/ support and mid/ jungle

expect.. my jungler Nidalee and RekSai, are both trash tier in patch 6.22.

so now i just have mid and support :(.

although i hope they will be viable again by the time the season starts
