Why do autofill exist?

Mcemc··6 votes·428 views

Like literally, why game FORCES me to play something I do not enjoy? That fact just makes me rethink why I am even playing this game? Literally sitting in queue and thinking why I am doing this? Autofill makes absolutely no sense. Do you even realize that you sacrifice game quality for quantity? How many games have been lost, because someone gets autofilled in role he don't play AT ALL, especially in ranked.

Furthermore, autofill forces you to master all 5 roles and own enough champions so you can play when you get autofilled. Literally, what the fuck riot? Why I have to play the game for hours, only to afford to buy champion in role I do not play, simply because of autofill? This may not be issue in higher elo, where people has very high game knowledge, but in lower elo that's just plain bs.

And lastly, if I gain 20lp for a win, tell me please, why the fuck I lose 19lp after defeat, when I am autofilled and playing something I do not like and do not know how to properly play, simply so some random dude can have a shorter queue??????

What is this bs??? Why game forces me to play something I do not enjoy, especially in ranked?!?! I better wait 15 extra minutes in queue and get role i want, rather than play something I can't play and do not enjoy for 20-50 minutes. Fucking over 100million people play this game and you can't find someone who plays support or top, especially in silver, where are the majority of all players?!?!?!?! You kidding me?

TLDR Here - I'll lose my LP and waste 40 minutes of my life, so you, little kid, can have lower queue time to play your beloved Yasuo mid.

He has a point with the number of people who play the game there should be no need for autofill.

The problem isn't so much that there's a limited playerbase, but moreso because they've painted themselves into a corner with the "attractiveness" of certain roles. You have to think that if they had focused on a support instead of circle-jerking bjerg for the past 3 years, that people would be more inclined to play that role instead of mid.

It's not so much attractiveness as enjoyment. A support cannot carry the game (95% of the time) and all other roles can. It's just a very frustrating role to play in solo queue.

Kinda. I've actually hard-carried a ton of games even recently on the (what shite players in other roles call) "AP supports", brand being one of my most favorite as he punishes predictable laning movement. The reason people think supports can't carry isn't so much that the role is bad or anything, but because they're stuck into this mindset of "Supports must build sightstone, and follow their botlaner around even if he's 0-10 and has the brain of a potato, and must give all the kills to their laners even if said laners are shite". If they opened up their minds and thought of it as an actual "carry role" like I do, they'd stop doing this and potentially win more games from it.

Well if at your elo people don't punish the lack of wards, then ya you can carry. I constantly see people with below 50 vision score and supports with below 100 and I understand why they got rekt. ;p

At silver/bronze (and even some gold tiers), players will often ignore the minimap entirely even if it's probably the most broken "Free tool" in the game. Because of that, many supports can get away with ignoring a sightstone entirely and instead focusing on getting to their item powerspikes.
