Can you please not change our roles after multiple dodges

Seriously. After I sit through 3+ champ selects, is it so much to ask not to randomly change the roles at that point?

I just basically ruined a game by being top Ashe of all things, because I had picked the champ 3 times in a row for someone to dodge for 20 straight minutes of banning and champ selecting. While yea, I should have looked more closely, how about doing us a favor and not autofilling us after that many champ selects.

This is like every day. Get your role 5 times, but someone dodges 5 times. Then you get autofilled, and on THAT game of course nobody dodges.

Tbh, when someone dodges, it's just better to reset the queue and start it again to try and avoid being autofilled in place of someone who dodged (let's be honest, most dodges are autofills).

I play mid/sup, and this really pisses me off. I enjoy playing support, but not 80% of the time, and when i get mid, someone dodges and i get sup AGAIN. Sometime I go mid/top to avoid this AND I GET AUToFILLED SUP AGAIN AFTER 5 DOGDES. How does one not get ticked off by this?

I am curious why you think it matter's. I mean what's the difference if those 3 champ selects were all different roles? Would that at all change where you ended up laning on the 4th time around?

Aside from that what's the difference if you are just going to play another game after this? Don't you have the option of dodging as well?

How is this anyone's fault but your own? Not to be rude I just don't understand what your complaining about.

for 20 straight minutes of banning and champ selecting.

What your asking for would make this take much much longer.

Don't worry, the other team probably banned your main because you locked it 3x already. You may actually prefer the alternate role. /s

I feel like the last person who click accepts when a team is found should be higher priority to be auto filled.

I agree with your request in general, but I don't agree with your example.

I hate to sound unsympathetic, but YOU are the one who wasn't paying attention, YOU are the one who didn't double check your role before locking in, YOU are the one who didn't look at chat until things were about to load. How the game works made it possible, but you almost certainly knew things work that way before you even queued. Somewhat extreme example, but how well do you think 'I wasn't paying attention, it's the car's fault because it didn't stop when it needed to' would hold up as a defense if you accidentally run someone over in a car? In both cases, it is absolutely your fault, not the game's, not the car's.

Now, that all said, yes, I in general agree that it should give preference to what role you were selected for first (provided you didn't get autofilled), but keep in mind that part of the reason it doesn't is to try and get you into a game as fast as possible (you've already sat through at least 3 pick/ban phases, most people really do want to get into a game ASAP at that point).

To beat this just have a little more patience if some one dodges just deny the q and reset it yea it's annoying having to wait another 2 minutes but you are more likely to get your main role again, also if my q time goes over the estimated by about 30-40 Seconds I also reset q as this puts you into the auto fill zone to eliminate a longer q

I main sup/fill...guess I'll never understand... All I ask is to not be filled to top because god that's a terrible lane.

You should be able to disable autofill... I wouldn't mind waiting an extra minute or so if it guarantees everyone is happy with their role. Having chain dodges is bad, and having your team get toxic due to infighting during champ select are way worse than spending an extra minute alt-tabbed in another window.
