We should know when were going to get autofilled

Över Heaven ·Jan 7, 2017·6 votes·1,087 views

The whole point of autofill is to shorten queue times when there's a shortage of players in a any role so i think Riot should let us know if there's a low chance or a high chance of being autofilled, maybe even give us a percentage I don't care just something to let us know when we might get autofileld and what role we would most likely have to play. I know i'm not the only one who would just rather not play if autofilled into an unfavorable role.

how about remove autofill

I am fine with top

I am fine with mid

I am fine with ADC

I am fine with Jungle

But I get forced into my worst role on the basis of "it shortens queues", yet because everyone skips with autofill it hasn't shortened anything, it's just damaged game quality heavily to the point where I don't play League anymore.

This is literally why we need auto fill. Most people, like you, don't want to support so without auto fill most people, like you, won't be able to find games at all. Maybe there's other things that can be done to make games better but removing auto fill places a bottle neck on games that is insurmountable right now.

But forcing people into roles they don't play lowers the quality of the game as a whole and I for one wouldn't mind waiting 2-3 minutes for a game where everyone gets the role their comfortable with.

Im down to try it out and see what the que times are like but to be honest i wouldnt play league if the que timers were longer than 5-10 minutes. There is another alternative of forcing people into those roles until they adapt or fall to bronze. Basically riot needs to weigh how much people hate que timers against how much people hate playing support and when i phrase it like that i think it's easy to see what the problem is.

What do you mean "you're down to try it", so you never even played League before autofill? So why comment if you have no idea?

SnakDatSmilesBakJan 8, 20173 votes

means i would be willing to try out league with no auto fill

OctaviaJan 8, 20171 votes

So you never played League without autofill yet you're telling me and everyone else who played 1000s of games without autofill that "you could never find a game without it" when you actually have no idea. Good job.

SnakDatSmilesBakJan 9, 20173 votes

You are the one assuming i didnt play league without autofill...lmfao

OctaviaJan 9, 20171 votes

You literally just said right here

means i would be willing to try out league with no auto fill

That implies you never played League before autofill.

You're the one saying it, not me. I'm not assuming anything, you're straight up saying it. Nobody says "i am willing to try X" if they've already tried it.

SnakDatSmilesBakJan 10, 20173 votes

Dawg do you not have anything better to do than nitpick at the minutiae of my comment? The point remains the same that I would be willing to try it out, you literally didn't add anything to the conversation and I hope you stop replying to me if you don't have anything constructive to say. Also anyone else on these boards has as much of a right to voice their opinion as you do so you should stop asking people why they're commenting on things.

OctaviaJan 10, 20171 votes

I'm not nitpicking anything, you stated you had never played ranked before autofill and now you're saying "i never said that why are you nitpicking".

The point remains the same that I would be willing to try it out

You already tried it! Why do you need to try it again if you already know that it worked?

you literally didn't add anything to the conversation

Yes I did. I called you out for l saying you couldn't find any games before autofill which is just wrong

Then you stated that you'd be willing to try it without autofill.

Which implies you never even played before that.

Then I'm left thinking why the hell are you even talking about something you never played.

And now you tell me that you did play it.

So if you did play it, why are you lying and saying no one could find a game?

I hope you stop replying to me if you don't have anything constructive to say. Also anyone else on these boards has as much of a right to voice their opinion as you do so you should stop asking people why they're commenting on things.

You have a right to voice it sure, I also have a right to call you out on things when you are either lying or completely lacking in any knowledge to even state it.

At best, so far in this thread you've either lied or have no knowledge in what you're talking about.

So you say I "literally" (figuratively) didn't add anything to the thread, yet I managed to debunk your attempted lying about autofill.

So... yes I did, and yes I do have the right to ask why you are commenting on things if you are either lying or talking about something as if you know it well when you admit you never even played it.

"Don't nickpick my comments", how about write your comments properly so you don't imply that you'd never played the thing you're tlaking about and don't lie about queue times being infinity prior to autofill?

congratulations homie one less "lie" on the boards you caught me

This is literally why we need auto fill.

It literally is is it? Literally the reason literally?

Most people, like you, don't want to support so without auto fill most people, like you, won't be able to find games at all.

Wrong, as I just said

But I get forced into my worst role on the basis of "it shortens queues", yet because everyone skips with autofill it hasn't shortened anything, it's just damaged game quality heavily

Autofill isn't reducing queue times because everyone skips.

And there already was an entire season without autofill, and queue times were 5-10 mins.

Most people, like you, don't want to support so without auto fill most people, like you, won't be able to find games at all

I played over 1000 games in Season 6 WITHOUT AUTOFILL and I COULD FIND GAMES VERY EASILY AND THEY WERE HIGH QUALITY, so you're wrong 100%, why would you even try to lie about that then we had an entire season without autofill and you could find games in minutes? Won't be able to find games at all? What a ridiculous thing to say, unless you didn't play S6 you're simply a liar because you know damn well you could find games before autofill with queue times no different, only with less skips.

And if you didn't play S6 and you're not lying about the old queue times, why are you even talking about something you know nothing about?

With autofill? 2-3 mins with multiple skips and getting the wrong role with far lower quality games that are nearly always 1 sided stomps.

Maybe there's other things that can be done to make games better but removing auto fill places a bottle neck on games that is insurmountable right now.

Despite the game working perfectly fine without it for all but the very end of S6 on EUW.

Autofill doesn't reduce any bottleneck, queue times are not reduced, all that happens is people skip.

The queue times were already ok considering you get the correct role, a worthy trade off for a good game.

Even if autofill DID reduce queue times I and nearly everyone would take their primary or secondary over support for an extra few mins wait anyway, but autofill IS NOT reducing queue times.

Like i said, im down to try it out....lul

Chamuel85Jan 7, 20172 votes

lol you know that would absolutely make everything worse right? It's not like there's a 'wide variety of roles' that people don't want to play. Since everyone will be like you and see 'omg I'll get support' then not play, it'll just exacerbate everything. Also you forgot an 'not a good idea' option.

SoundChaosDebugJan 7, 20171 votes

It just gives incentive to dodge more

Över Heaven Jan 7, 20172 votes

Actually wouldn't it give less incentive considering you would be able to see if your likely to get autofilled in the first place?

SoundChaosDebugJan 7, 20172 votes

knowing the future just means you'll do everything in your power to alter it to your liking.

Knowing you're going to get auto filled and what lane just means you're going to dodge more often if you don't care about penalties.

Över Heaven Jan 7, 20171 votes

If you know your going to get autofilled into a role you dont like why would you even queue in the first place?!?! https://cdn.meme.am/cache/instances/folder686/66238686.jpg

SoundChaosDebugJan 8, 20171 votes

Is there some magical time limit to wait where you won't get auto filled?

It's called auto fill for a reason

OctaviaJan 7, 20172 votes

How the would it do that if it's telling you before you queue?

Autofill already makes huge amounts of dodges, this would do nothing except possibly reduce them, however it's a terrible botch, even more so than autofill itself so it's a bad idea.

Autofill is the creator of all the dodging, low quality games and other bullshit and until it's gone that will never be fixed.

Över Heaven Jan 7, 20171 votes

I forgot to mention that low elo shouldn't be forced to autofill in the first place.

OctaviaJan 7, 20172 votes

No elo below the extreme high end needs autofill at all, anything above mid diamond may need it, but really, there are LESS PLAYERS in diamond FOR ALL ROLES, so there may be less supports, but there are also LESS MIDS AND TOPS AND JGS ETC!

Autofill is not needed in bronze

Autofill is not needed in silver

Autofill is not needed in gold

Autofill is not needed in plat

Autofill is not needed in most of diamond AT THE VERY LEAST

Played an entire season without it and queue times were 5-10 mins and they didn't have loads of dodges which takes way more time AND YOU GOT THE ROLE YOU WANT AND THE GAME QUALITY WASN'T A 1 SIDED STOMP!
