Autofill and promos.
Alright look, I'll keep this as clean as I can and not make a full QQ post on this. Right now I'm extremely cheesed from what just happened but I will offer some solutions to my issue and see where it goes from there.
So I just got an autofilled ADC that lost against a duo bot lane. His support was a thresh main that also didn't do as well but I'll respectfully say it was more of the ADC'S fault. Now I'm not stating his skill with in the game is garbage, I'm saying he's clearly meant to not be put in the ADC role and yes we lost that game. Now I'm not speaking from lower elo's standpoint, I'm speaking for all elo's. The fact that I was in my promos made it even a worse experience, why should we have to play with autofilled players during our promos. I understand why autofill is here in the first place but when you're trying to climb this makes it even harder especially when it's ADC which is a crucial role in the game. But I will give my respect to the higher elo's last season that had to deal with this bullshit because I'm not the victim. I got autofilled ADC once and did just fine because mostly the team carried me and I just farmed for 20 minutes as Sivir, but heres some solutions.
-
Make it so during your promos you also don't get autofilled players, if you think about it you can name a lot of reasons why this should be implemented
-
Third Role, basically make the third MOST and BEST role autofilled for the player.
-
Remove autofill entirely and think of a different system.
