Is autofill why bot lane is such a mess?

My recent ranked games have been characterized by enormous variability. And most of it is because one support usually sucks.

I'm wondering if autofill is causes more bad supports to go bot, thereby throwing the lane.

It's very difficult to win as a jungler when I get three successful ganks bot lane by 15 minutes but the enemy adc is 9/3/13 and our adc is 1/6/2 because our support does nothing except die due to inexperienced play.

Bot lane determines 90% of games now and it's usually out of the other players' control.

probably, no one wants to play support and no one wants to babysit a support as an adc

Probably are, but not as many as people playing anything else imo

hence the "extra support in free rotation" no?

so its has to be due to auto fill and not any credit given to the other players in the game on enemy team

No. Its preseason and people are trolling. Autofill is a good excuse to troll for most. If they get autofilled, they basically take it as an excuse to play like shit, play bad champs, or play bad in general and blame it on being autofilled; esp. when its preseason and for the most part none of these games matter much.

And on the babysitting note, if people would just play AP mages, they dont have to babysit anyone. Spelltheif items are still stupid in terms of gold generation, and its pretty easy to carry games as AP mages from the bot lane, and do more damage than anyone in the game. I'd honestly recommend NOT playing jannas and threshs unless you trust the person or people you are playing with. Just pick Brand/Zyra/Morg/whatever, go striaght ap after Eye of the Watcher and congrats you are now an AP carry capable of carrying the game. You miss out on very little having a support item, you can easily clear waves with all the ap if your team is failing and you want more gold, and you have crazy gold generation to begin with in spelltheif items.
