Why do autofill exist?

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.

Let me guess, you were not around before the current draft queue was implemented?

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