(Suggestion) Adjustment to fill role in role selection

welfare champ·Sep 2, 2019·25 votes·11,616 views

Selecting 'Fill' as your primary role should allow for a secondary selection representing a role you do not wish to play.

So for example I could say:

Fill / Jungle - Meaning I can play anything but would prefer not playing jungle. Then if I am filled Jungle it treats it like any other auto fill where it puts more emphasis on avoiding that role in queue next time.

This should help players like myself who just queue for whatever but want to avoid playing a given role if were just trying to get away from doing one thing over and over like rats in a maze but don't care what else we do.

Hmm. Whenever I see this suggestion, it's always presented as a solution to replace autofill. And I always say the same thing, People will use it to play any role but support, and we'd be back to the ungodly queue times. But this suggestion keeps autofill, so I have nothing to criticize. Sure, I can't think of a reason why this shouldn't be implemented, bring it on.

IMO there is as many players that don't want jungle as support and adc is not a dream as well. Most people queue mid/top so idea would help anyway.

But then you have the counter argument of people that don't want support will just pick 2 rolls instead of using fill anyways.

So its really just a QoL for people that don't like 1 role. It isn't at all a replacement for auto fill.

Yeah, I'm seeing that, which is why I'm for it. Usually this suggestion is presented as a replacement for autofill, so I was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't the case this time.

Trust me, top is still more popular than support. Agree with jungle.

Hi im 12Sep 3, 20191 votes

it just depends on your elo, the higher up you go the more popular support and jungle become. in low silver and bellow support is least popular, silver - low gold jungle, then top

90% of the time I'd pick fill (which I almost always did) I'd get top.

Lies. I will use it to play anything but jungle.

I like it. Instead of screaming "remove autofill stupid mechanic fix matchmaking fucking company" you give a solution that actually works with the systems in place. When picking Fill/X, you can still get filled, but you could incorporate the same autofill protection that already exists. Not just if you get X in that game, but maybe If you played Support before? Then you also get autofill protection and it kinda goes away when picking Fill? So asking to exclude X (and having it guaranteed when protected) sounds like a solid idea.

this is to fix fill not autofill lol, if this change goes throught there would be no change onto autofill

Yeah, my wording might have been bad there. It's more of an adjustment to the system, and I already acknowledged it doesn't change the Autofill mechanic.
