Autofill - The Downfall of Quality Gameplay in High Elo

I understand this isn't completely relevant to the gameplay section, but this is still a huge part of the game that is negatively influencing games in my high elo diamond 1/master games. there is simply better ways to reduce queue times without having to autofill people into a role that they cant play. this happens way too often and results in so many low quality games that are lost immediately in champion select. why not make it a system in which you can select three roles, instead of only 2? that way queue timers will be reduced still, and most players have at least SOME knowledge of more than 2 roles in the game. therefore, this system would make it so that not only would queue timers still be reduced, but also the quality of games in high elo would be drastically improved. if we dont do this, then we should at least make it so there are an equal number of autofilled players on each team. this would have the same result of lowering queue timers still while also not completely ruining games from champion select.

Been saying for a while that autofill ruins the quality of the game .

Autofill should be optional and players that wants faster queue should have the possibility of enabling it , and players that wants better quality game , should be able to disable it

"Someone complaining about autofill? Time to talk about queue times and downvote- wait a minute, did he mention high elo? Praise be his name! Have my upvote instead!"

Autofill is absolute shit, but low elo players won't negate the validity of that claim.

Such as?

Because queue times would still be hours long because no one wants to willingly pick support up there?

Yea..I'd rather wait than be autofilled
