Ok, Auto Fill is a bit ridiculous

I am a multi-faceted player, and i don't mind being auto-filled in the least. However, I find it's an issue when I have Auto-Fill protection and someone unfortunately dodges multiple times in a row, and I lose this "protection". How is this fair? I'd much rather wait an additional two or three minutes for my desired role than be auto-filled due to someone else's impatience or negligence in queue. Your current queuing system just doesn't work all too well, much like this season as a whole, and it's absurdly frustrating. I usually look for any excuse to do crazy-outrageous things with my man, Taric, but I should never lose my protection because of someone's decision to dodge in queue. That's just imbecilic...

Wait... how do you lose autofill protection when you haven't even gone into a game yet?

I just despise autofill in the fact its quantity over quality. Quantity being shorter q times and more games, quality being slightly longer but everyone gets what they want and what they know how to play.

The problem, as said above me, is that people do not play support. People do not like playing support.

I love playing Thresh and Morg. Players like me wont mind at all if we get autofilled, but we are a minority. If people do not like playing a role, they will not learn it properly and they will not be good at it.

Bottom line. Get rid of autofill. I will gladly wait 3 more minutes to find a match. This is what YouTube is for.

Not all dodges are from auto fill. Yes a majority of them are BUT people are also having black screen glitches as they are trying to join the lobby. They just can't see or do anything and they basically have no choice but to dodge.

Not sure if this glitch is new client or old at this point.

I have to agree with autofill being not so fun to deal with. I always queued top/jun b4 autofill, and i was fine waiting 5-10 minutes for a game. Recently however, my leisure time while in queue has been replaced with, lobby>dodge>lobby>dodge>lobby>game>repeat. i used to do other small things while waiting but with all the dodges its been pretty hectic for me.

the whole forced autofill thingy is ridiculous in my opinion forcing ppl to play role that they dont like is completely wrong ... after all i prefer a high quality game than waiting less for a game with autofilled demoralised players that are more likely to troll im sure most ppl dont agree with this permament autofill just like me it makes the game less fun only to make games start faster at least in lower elose autofill is not needed at all if u want faster game u fill if u dont u shoudnt get autofilled.

The real problem lies with the support role. Until Riot adresses that, this will continue to be an issue. Also this is coming from someone whom doesn't mind, and usually ques as, support.

Dodging is a problem yes but still start games faster then before auto fill

Hey man.

Please try and space out your posts.

Reading a giant block of text can be frustrating.

That is all.

an additional two or three minutes for my desired role

but it's likely closer to 10x your estimate.
