Autofill is slowing down getting into a game.

Autofill is slowing down getting into a game. Wait for about 2 minutes to get into a queue someone is autofilled so they doge sending you back to queue so that the next autofilled person can dodge and this goes on for 3 to 6 lobbies.... clearly autofill isnt making getting into a game faster.

Riot needs to keep making the support role more desirable so that autofill won't be needed as often. They did make some good changes in that direction, but the tools given to supports (item 3504 enchanter meta) funneled too much power into ADCs specifically and didn't allow the supports to help other teammates enough. Supports should be the whole team's support, not the bot-laner's support. Being tied to a single player is unsatisfying as a support player.

Current autofill for non-support roles (jungle and bot) is mainly to do with recent changes and will probably be temporary. Jungle diversity went down (driving out a portion of dedicated jungle players) because of scuttle changes over-emphasizing early dueling. Bot lane diversity went up (creating temporary chaos as the meta shifts) because of crit changes.

I personally dislike the jungle changes and I personally love the crit changes. I personally want more support buffs and fun new support items, but I want the support synergy spread out to help the whole team. I'd say that if Riot wants to make autofill less necessary, they should 1) make supporting more satisfying, 2) improve jungle diversity, 3) give bot-lane time to settle down before making direct changes.

wholeheartedly agree

There needs to be support items that grant AP to allies, maybe other things like mana or on-spell hit effects

It should be rewarding to support a fed darius who cleans up their whole team, as well as some kind of item to support the mid lane control mage who is almost 1v9ing

As of last patch it was top/jungle that were always getting auto filled. Not support.

Support has been at very least top 3 roles all year.

Friend :/ DO NOT FUCKING COMPLAIN ABOUT QUE TIMES. Literally the last thing we need is Riot sacrificing any more game quality in order to give everyone fast ques.

Its not the queue time i have a problem with its the constant dodges caused by autofill. I'd much rather wait 5 minutes in queue and have everyone get a role they want than sit through dodges 3+ times until someone gives into autofill and plays something they dont want/arent good at.
