Why does every time your game gets remade because of dodge your chance of getting support goes up?

At first I thought this was just statistical bias but now that I have started playing regularly I have discovered that if someone dodges in champ select if you stay in the queue your chances of getting autofilled to support goes up. No matter if you got your preferred or even off role before.

Sometimes there is a series of someone not readying up or dodging and if it goes past two in a row it becomes an almost 100% chance to get support. Why if I was already granted my chosen role or even my secondary am I punished instead of the dodger?

This isn't just a game or two here or there. If there are two or more dodges it is almost a 100% chance that I will be placed in support unless I back out and wait a minute. If I do that it goes back to normal, so clearly the game is choosing to place me in support more than it normally would simply because of game remakes which makes no sense.

I always try to exit queue and wait a minute or two if there's a dodge or if the clock goes beyond Estimated, because (as I am typing this, I just got filled Support in duo before the clock got to Estimated and without any prior dodges, lol) the worst thing that can happen in League is being filled.

I used to queue Support back when I was a Soraka OTP. One-second queues almost every time because of all the lobbies desperate for somebody willing to spam heals.

My advice: Find one Support that you can enjoy playing and accept that sometimes you can't have nice things but at least hopefully get fill protection for the next game.

So, this may seem strange, but actually I've noticed that even if I am primary support, I tend to get auto-filled if I stay in support after a dodge (usually to top or jungle). I think it must be some kind of bug.

Your chance of being autofilled goes up when people dodge to prevent abuse in trying to get someone else to dodge or a group member to dodge for you so you can avoid autofill. Basically basic harassment and abuse prevention.
