If Auto-Fill is about queue times, then give us a non-role option.

Riot. Bro. Let's speak like two bros for a second. I say this out of love, but also a little bit of logic.

These days I'm queueing up as top and support. I'm doing that because they're my favorite roles and I'd prefer to play them. But it should be know that I'm also fine with Jungle and mid. Unfortunately for everyone in the queue, I can't sign up for those roles unless I:

A. Aren't protected from Auto-fill and B. Those are the open roles

I think you can see where I'm going here. I find four roles acceptable, and one loathsome. What I'm suggesting is that you give me a new fill option (not removing the current ones) that allows me to exclude a role. This allows me the option to cover a lot more ground in the "what do you need" queue while not wanting to jump off of a bridge by consistently getting ADC. I'll also say the obvious here just to cover myself. Auto-fill would still be in effect, so if we all don't want ADC, AF will still cover us.

Here's the point: Right now we're allowed to cover two roles, or five. And since five inherently includes the one you like least, why not give us the option for 4? The time to wait should drop, and the quality of games should increase. I think this would also give you substantially more information to work with since you can spot trends more easily than looking at the AF data.

I'm going to bump this because I posted it on Saturday and the weekday crowd tends to be a little more talkative. I think this makes sense for all parties involved and to whatever extend the boards can, I'd like to push this as a policy suggestion.
