Proposition: Only 1 person per team can be auto-filled

Funkin Dunkin··71 votes·2,167 views

Personally it doesn't bother me since I play all roles. But I've seen too many one trick ponies complain how this breaks the game. So I propose that only 1 person per team can be auto filled. -OR- Each team must have equal number of players auto filled to be fair to each team.

The second idea is better.

There is nothing wrong about being autofilled support against someone as clueless as you are.

Being autofilled against xxWifeStealerxx with 2k games on Tresh is another story.

When you're autofilled to ADC and the enemy Draven has Draven in his username

Or runs down mid.

I might as well be doing so considering how much I fed in that situation

Salson3 votes

But if you feed one kill to their support, Draven will feed your team ten.

You haven't experience suffering until you've had two autofilled bottom laners against two pre-made bot-lane mains.

I would any day choose 4-5 minutes longer queue times than get autofilled into role i dont want to play.

I don't even understand how autofill is supposed to lower queue times. With all the dodges you get in a single day.

I waited an entire hour to get into a game yesterday because there were like 5 or 6 dodges

Or just remove auto-fill.... it does nothing but harm.

korg0234 votes

it was only problem in very high rank where people would wait long times in queue but its easily fixed if you just put autofill in d2+ and remove it from lower divisions. I never had problem waiting in queue for extra few minutes,hell even 10 minutes i will wait if that means that i will play one of the positions i picked.

WinTheWarOnPants3 votes

exactly. How people defend auofill is freaking beyond me. If you want a lower Q time the just select "fill" yourself. No one is stopping you. in fact you will get into a game faster, because fewer people will be filling and you wont have a dodge 4 out of ever 5 champ selects. Auto fill "fixes" a problem that doesn't exist below high diamond(and sure AF never existed in normals). This idea that "you should play what the game tell's you to play" is so fucking backwards lol

Or MAYBE, just MAYBE One Trick Idiots should learn more than 1 champion?

they do learn more than one champion in case their champion gets banned but this tactic has been around since season 1 and it brought many people to challenger, such as the recent debacle over support Nunu

Counter-offer: only people who choose to auto-fill can be auto-filled

korg0231 votes

which is no one.

If you don't want a specific role, the "fill" role exists.

Nobody likes to be autofilled when you do want a specific role.

A few people do, but yeah.

That's what I said. Please learn to read.

I don't know why people complain so much... I get autofilled maybe... 1 game out of 30? maybe even less...

I don't even get my secondary position most of the time.

If I had to say, it's like 80% primary, 15% secondary and 5% or less autofill.

I might just be lucky though, dunno!

What if support role was the only fill role? Would that really be bad? Cause Support the role the least popular so would make sense.

ˉˉˉˉˉˉ2 votes

I just want old pick system, but with team ban instead of captain ban. You know, the one where your lane was determined by pick order, and people bitched way less than they do now, since the the role picking has created some sense of entitlement. Not the players fault though, Riot's fault for getting us used to role pick, then giving us a different lane.

Another proposition: If a player is to be autofilled, that player should be put into a game with a lower MMR from both teams.

3TWarrior2 votes

not a good idea as then if an experienced player is put into a position against a lower ranked player, they are more than likely to come out on top. It is a variable but say a platinum that knows how all of the positions are played ends up against a gold in the same boat

it's going to be fairly even but is likely to edge in the platinum player's favor

I just posted something about this with a poll plz go check it out and vote yes so we can get this removed

Its honestly pretty bad even if theres an equal number of autofilled but theyre not in the same role. If anything, make sure the autofills are laning against each other so the game isnt decided by "which clown has the basic knowledge to not feed 6 kills in 10 minutes"

TL;DR top comment

im not a one trick, but i cant play jungle. between its annoying balancing game of when to farm and gank and counter jg and all that shit, EVERY year it changes! Like legit the jungle hasnt stayed the same for more than a season since i started :/

I can play every other role fine, 3-5 champs per role i'd say i'm "good" with and i have 2 champs per role at pretty high mastery, but i dont ever want to learn jungle. I shouldnt HAVE to learn a shitty and tedious role cause Riot thinks I dont wanna wait a few minutes to get a role i want. Props to those that do it like the game needs you, but i fucking can't stand it just like some hate support or ADC. People have queued as fill to just get it over with and get an auto fill protect token. People bitch when remakes waste said token too, it's that valuable. Riot needs to just remove auto fill or make it some sort of thing someone can opt into. If its because that lame "but no one plays support" argument then do something to fix support already. Make some subclass of support the next class rework and make the role appealing so i dont have to get flamed for playing badly at a role i never wanted (and pre-dynamic queue never had to get)

If you can play all but one role, that that one isn't support, you should have no problems trading 90% of the time you get autofilled. So no need to learn jungle as long as you're comfortable in other roles.

See I thought this too, but so often i get "Nah dont wanna jg" and then im like "Okay well i suck at it so like, play safe" and then its nonstop OMG THEN WHY ARE YOU JG!?!?!? NOOB! as if they forget autofill is a thing :/

But yeah when someone does trade, i thank them over and over again and appreciate that at least im not trying ot trade support. I actually main that under ADC (may as well learn both sides of the botlane right? lol) but also love mid (mages) and top (Kled. Just kled. If not kled i settle for a tank but Kled XD)

I dunno i'm kinda sick of auto fills one of the reasons why i'm stuck in bronze and it gets annoying.

personally I know how to play every roll so i'm fine with it.

But when you get a auto fill that's like

" OMFG auto filled to support some one please trade.. Mid please trade with me I main mid"

mid says no

So then the auto filler insta locks Brand,

(not saying brand isn't a support)

but they insta lock brand go full ap build, steal farm, take every kill from the adc, never ward and then complain all game that their ADC sucks cause he does no damage and doesn't know how to farm with their low CS.

then demands the ADc get reported for Feeding. cause they are 0-4-10.

The dumb thing is, autofill is meant to reduce que times-but it can still take me over 20 minutes to get a game going, sometimes 30. Why? Dodging. A top laner is filled to support? Dodges after 2 minutes in champ select.

Then I end up getting put support after 20-30 minutes of waiting. I'd rather wait 20-30 mins and get the role/champion I want (like in the old team builder) then take a long time and get auto filled.

that's how riot trolls you, if you're on a winning streak it puts everyone from your team on autofill
