(Suggestion) Adjustment to fill role in role selection

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.

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.
