Auto fill feature

So you force us to pick two rolls.... Okay fair enough. Most of the playerbase plays 2 rolls, that's fine.

You make it so solo q'ers have a good chance to be paired with premades.... Okay, most of the time with only duos, sometimes 3, and rarely 4.... I can deal with the drawbacks, as I get my 2 preferred rolls... That's okay with me.

But then you add the autofill feature..... Why even have the new champ select..... Like, you talk about how DQ reduces toxicity by giving people their rolls, then add a system that makes it so they may not? What? I know this is mainly for high elo, but...... What?

At least with soloQ you were not forced into a roll by the system. In soloQ I got my main roll almost always, and my secondary almost always if I didn't get my main roll. I played maybe 1 or two games outside of my main 2 rolls every 2 weeks, with at least 10 ranked games a week.

This is just going to fuck with players much more than long que times. At least then they got the roll they wanted.

Being in gold, I just hope that I never see this system.

Edit: Guys, this post is like 6+ months old. Let it die.

I see it as something you should opt into or out of.

I SWEAR TO GOD I HATE THIS COMPANY. THIS GAME WAS ACTUALLY PRETTY DECENT LONG AGO BACK WHEN WE HAD TEAM BUILDER, OH BUT THEN SOMEHOW IDIOT RIOT DECIDED TO TAKE AWAY THE BEST THING THEY HAVE EVER COME UP WITH. NOW WE HAVE THIS AUTO FILL CRAP WHERE IM FORCED TO PLAY A ROLE I DONT WANT TO PLAY AND IM FORCED TO PLAY WITH IDIOTS WHO HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO PLAY SUPPORT BECAUSE U FORCED THEM. I WOULD WAIT 20 MINUTES TO PLAY IF I WOULD GET THE ROLE I WANT. I SWEAR YOU ARE THE STUPIDEST COMPANY I HAVE EVER SEEN. WHAT IS YOUR DECISION MAKING! NOT TO MENTION COURAGE OF THE COLLUSUS, I MEAN HOW FU^%&ING STUPID DO YOU HAVE TO BE TO THINK THAT WAS A GOOD IDEA. ITS SAD THAT IVE INVESTED SO MUCH TIME INTO THE GAME WHEN THERE ARE COMPLETE IDIOTS RUNNING IT INTO THE GROUND. IVE BEEN PLAYING SINCE SEASON 3 AND I HAVE LOST ALL RESPECT FOR THE COMPANY AND ALMOST THE GAME. I LOVED THIS GAME BUT YOU PEOPLE ARE SERIOUSLY COMPLETE IDIOTS!

Riot Games, please remove autofill. Its a terrible idea. First, why would i play rank if i get another position other than the two i want? I would rather play normal game instead (at least if im fast i can get a position i want). Second, this will encourage me to play other roles that i dont have interest in, end up in queue for a bad game experience. In addition, longer queue time is ok as long as i can play what i want

remove that goddamn autofill for fk sake. at least make 3 lanes like I'm main jungler can play top and supp but getting adc or mid with that new system. lost much LP already. There are too many trolls cause of this new system in ranked even in master/challenger. troll ratio increased by 1000% thx to riot. remove that ''fill'' thing and compensate to players with something

Just look at the reviews of the NA-server ... They think autofill is a bad joke

how to stop this fuckingg autofill

Chimp Joker6/1/2016, 5:45:43 PM3 votes

Autofill wouldn't be so bad if they give us the option to choose what roles we want to fill. I mean, just having autofill just means that you are gonna get the support role. Why not have a check box asking what roles you want to fill and rolls you dont want to fill?

LiveYiOrDieHard6/1/2016, 5:55:25 PM3 votes

Apparently Riot didn't want to give out free IP by increasing the IP reward for people queuing as support or fill.

Heaven forbid people become able to afford all the champions in less than 5 years!

DrCyanide6/1/2016, 5:59:25 PM3 votes

If they hadn't butchered Fill/Secondary Support we wouldn't be in this mess.

Go to Blind Pick for 10 games and say "Fill." You'll get Support less than you think, because a lot of people don't actually mind playing Support as a second or third option.

The problem is that the Queue system they implemented is so focused on speed that it forces anyone willing to support into always playing support, which is not what those players want. They then resort to picking two options which won't get them support because they're tired of getting support all the time, and they never go back.

If Riot limited Fill/Support Secondary to being Support only half the time, they'd have more than double the amount of people picking these roles, resulting in shorter queue times. Instead, they're resorting to strong arming people into playing other positions.

Just to clarify, it's an opt-in system rather than an opt-out system:

To clarify: If you don't see this notification, you're not going to get a position other than what you select

Auto fill is complete bs literally if you main jg you get support 70% of the time it is retarded, Riot please fix this honestly

Boya6/14/2016, 12:58:45 PM3 votes

.... I'd rather wait 10 minutes than getting a support in 3 minutes and playing 20 min surrender game cuz i dont play support....

wtf i don't want to play supp all game's that's not funny at all riot

BananaBigFiend11/24/2016, 4:34:15 PM2 votes

Please turn off this stupid feature. I can play jg or sp but I got constantly assigned, is it the case that league want their users to get banned for 10 min or more cuz they have to quit the game and get the penalty?

Jabron Lames11/30/2016, 11:47:27 PM2 votes

Would much rather just wait longer, instead of playing 30 + minutes of a role that i despise.

Grenvallion10/22/2016, 5:42:06 AM2 votes

Autofill is absolutely awful. it's the worst thing riot has ever put into the game. Yes no one wants to play support because it's boring. Everyone just wants to kill everything so it looks like they're the best and carried every game, but id rather wait 20 mins for a game than have someone be put into support when they didn't want it just so they can troll because they got a role they don't want. Id rather wait 20 mins and get a supp that wants to play supp than trolls all the time because of this feature.

I'm sliver and I have to deal with this auto fill thing... like why?

Berl6/6/2016, 10:15:37 AM2 votes

Worst idea ever, cause so many problems and I only played 5 games so far with this system.

this stupid autofill feature will just f everybody up, what is the point of draft if we cant get the position we want???

Tuema1/18/2017, 10:55:17 AM1 votes

II HHHHAATTEE AUTO FILL who thought of this horrible idea? here are some reasons i think Auto fill is bad AND SHOULD BE TAKEN AWAY RIGHT AWAY!

  1. most ppl who get AF troll because they are over frustrated at the system.
  2. it gets ppl reported just for doing poorly, i know i have gotten reported many times because i was a crappy support. THERES A REASON I DIDN'T CLICK PLAY SUPPORT ITS CUZ I DIDNT WANT TO DO THAT ROLE.
  3. so it was made to reduce the time system right? know what happens when some one get AF'ed and they dodge? thats right everyone goes back to que. now then know what happens when ppl keep dodging because they get FORCED to play a support or adc role? yeah you keep going back to que back to lobby back to banning then back to que cause after banning someone was like yeah no one else is dodging and i'm not playing support.
  4. it makes ppl angery when they play the game it makes them more toxic then ever.
  5. It FORCES you to do something you never even wanted to. yea i get it some ppl are okay with it, some ppl can play any role. i would rather wait half an hour then play in a game where my self or a friend is auto filled and dose badly because of it.
  6. It takes away freedom, WHATS NEXT RIOT? you guna start forcing us to play champs next too? maybe force us to play ranked or aram instead of good old rift? if this continues thats how it's looking. 7.it just sucks.... God Riot if you have any humanity left please please please make it stop. take it away make it like before it was fine before now it's waaayyy worse,. i never complained about the system before but now... now i must... when i found draft i loved it... now i'd RATHER play blind pick,
siilentdeath9/14/2016, 3:07:43 AM1 votes

I can't ADC main anymore effectively due to autofill. I keep getting full blown aps champs with gold starved ap builds. With no support like play. Its a toss up if I even get a support playing like one.

Amir Kooshky9/21/2016, 7:00:36 PM1 votes

the only thing i wanna mention is that when the no votes r EATING the others, so REMOVE it pls

TTV ItisKipp10/2/2016, 3:20:09 PM1 votes

Well, I've gotten it a few times even in Bronze before. I don't mind since I can play all the roles but still it can be annoying if you want to paly Jungle or something. I don't think it is necessarily a bad idea, just a bit annoying at times.

Shast1310/4/2016, 9:30:31 PM1 votes

Honestly people don't want to play support. its bullshyt that riot tries to be nazis and force you to play a role you dont want, and in rank thats bs for people trying to climb being forced to play a role they suck at or dont like only makes them lose more, As well when i see auto fill i just dont que screw riot when they do that. if they really want peopel to play more sup there eneds to be incentive. like if you que as sup you get double IP for the match. lots of people would que as sup to farm ip and its really not that unfair cuz its open to anyone willing to support

GamingZimon10/6/2016, 12:41:35 PM1 votes

I love autofill. But it seems like its just me since 487 people seems to hate the system. I play top as primary and support as secondary as support. and 80% of the time I get supporty and see some riven/yasou main get Support as they autofilled, and rage comepltely. This is fun to watch for some players like me accually get a chance to enjoy the game. :)

Diarrhea Bubbles11/20/2016, 6:58:13 PM1 votes

This turns draft pick into blind pick and dodge rates have gone through the roof.

The shade11/21/2016, 11:43:44 AM1 votes

I don't mind the duo queue thing, but im confused bout the auto fill thing, does every one get placed in auto fill? i mean i was queuing up and people dodged 3 times, and each time they dodged i was placed in support. is there a system behind auto fill and if so can someone explain it to me?

JJW8512/7/2016, 5:46:04 AM1 votes

What an absolute ridiculous concept. Let me pick the two roles I'm interested in playing and then have riot change it. Why even do draft picking? Just go back to first call or pick. This is dumb.

It's for less wait time they say. Well, I only have time for one game and I specifically want to play one of two different roles. Now I have dodged 2 games and will have waited 20 minutes. If I have to dodge again, then I just won't be playing tonight. So much for a shorter wait time.

Riot, where are your cognitive skills? Who is making these stupid decisions?

Whovian Cthulu1/5/2017, 3:54:21 AM1 votes

Maybe they could give you like double ip if you get autofilled? That would feel a little better.

Reapuer1/17/2017, 7:13:41 AM1 votes

I love it. Keeps que times short- and helps fill the que with roles that are short at the moment. Why is everything so negative on forums :(
