Waiting in queue for nearly 17 minutes should give you your role

The other people in my champ select all waited 40 seconds or less and got their roles. I was filled even though I waited in queue for nearly the duration of a game:

What is the point of waiting in queue for this long and then getting autofilled? I thought the point of autofill was to lower the queue time. I ended up having to quit out in champ select because 2 of my team mates were pre level 30 and based on their stats from their last games were obviously not smurfing and actually new to the game to the point of being clueless to what items go with what champions.

tl;dr: Waited 17 minutes in queue, got autofilled, 2 of my team mates were basically bronze 5 and had no clue how to play so I had to dodge after this ridiculous wait because I didn't want to waste 20 minutes trying to carry people that should be going with and against other pre 30s while playing an off role.

12k gold in a 34 minute game on the **winning **team is equiv to someone in the bronze 2 to silver 4 range. The enemy team had a newb also, the Kayle, and the stats of that player shows it. The system shouldn't give this long of queue times and then throw inexperienced players into the match. The problem is that it doesn't start to look for lower rated games to put me in while the queue times go up, it looks for low rated players to put in my game. This means if I have 2 pre 30s and 2 bronze I am going to still potentially go against a team of diamonds - challengers. I know this from experience, I've had many many games where my team was silver or lower and the enemy team's lowest rank was plat 2, with the majority being around mid diamond. Until you get up to this rating you won't understand how broke it really is and how badly it needs to be fixed.

This is why people smurf which leads to people crying about it on the forums. Sometimes you actually ruin your main account if you play on it too much. I am 1022-849 in norms which puts me in a spot where I will play with anyone with a high rating that also queues up, there is literally no more 'grinding' for my normal accounts rating since at the point it is at now I am already able to get matched with challengers.

@BigBellBrute & @THR34T

Both of you need to calm down and separate for the time being. You're both engaging in personal attacks and I really don't want to have to tag the both of you with deletions tonight. Please consider that 'walking away' is a viable options for engagements of this kind and refrain from tearing down your 'opponent' on a personal level just because you disagree with their stance.

Kindly do not remake this subject for a while so that heads can cool.

Thank you.
