Stop autofilling roles which are never played

It is super annoying to go play one or two games and get autofilled into a role I literally never play. I'm an ADC main and I do play top, mid, and support I'm getting better at. But I literally dread the jungle, because I have little pathing awareness and camp clearing times as a jungle. Don't get me wrong, I'm aware of these things while in lane and taking the enemy and teammate jungler into account, but not trying to play jungle. Point being, I don't believe it is right to have in draft mode/ranked, your primary and secondary roles. Yet still get autofilled into a role which you have near NO decent experience. It is not fair to me, to need to dodge-lose LP, risk leaver buster. Just because I wish not to play jungle and didn't select that or fill. Of course I understand that autofill may be activated, but RIOT?!? isn't there a way to adjust the algorithm to ensure that players who have their 1st/2nd roles get placed into games where one of which is available, or at least that their match history shows they have played?

If you queue with other people, it wont let you start without a certain range of roles being filled, so why not have those all covered before a game being started? hmm...

Anyone else find themselves being autofilled more often into roles not played, even on rotation?

I don't usually get auto filled but when I do I dodge. I simply DO NOT WANT TO PLAY SUPPORT why won't you give me jungle or mid lane? Just support NOTHING ELSE it's a really dumb thing. Idc if I wait longer I just want to play my lane nothing else

And on the other side of that, I hate having an autofilled jungle on my team. They just don't know what they should be doing or how to make judgements about where to apply pressure or make plays because they lack the experience.

with this ranked system I got triggered whenever I was autofilled and forced to play my placement matches for a role that I don't want a rank for

It's good to hear that they are removing it

There is a time window in which you get your first role every time. For example EUW/Jungle/Plat it's below 1:40. If you reset your queue before this time you never get autofilled again. I restart at 1:40 everytime (Check my history. Only jungle).

For other regions/roles/Elos it's maybe a different time.

I love getting pulled into jungle (no exp or want to ever play jg) then have to deal with the toxic player base screaming at me all match since i am not some pro jg who is giving them easy kills.

I queue mid/support. When I am autofilled ADC or top I'm there scratching my head. The least played role is support, usually jungle comes second. I literally have support in my roles and I have 2 champions I can jungle more or less comfortably with. Why am I getting autofilled into more popular roles? Once I got filled ADC and my support was autofilled too (?? Put me in support and autofill him ADC..at least one of us has one of his roles..)
