[Petition] Grant Autofill Protection at 0 LP

I hate already being worried about dropping rank, I don't need to have my chances of winning decreased by getting a role I'm not the best at. Please Riot.

Why? There are already safety nets at 0 LP. How many bandaids do we need before the ranked ladder becomes a joke?

Yeah maybe when you rank up. But if I drop to zero because a had two bad games I don't think I should be given a role I'm not good at so I can lose a third one and drop ranks just because I wasn't given an optimal role.

You don't drop a rank after one loss at 0 LP unless your MMR is really bad. Your MMR is really bad because you consistently perform at a level thats lower than your division. You're trying to blame it on one single game at 0 LP when in reality its many games. If you have good MMR you can lose multiple games at 0 LP and not drop.

There are already enough safety nets. We don't need any more. Ranked is a competitive environment. Its not supposed to make you feel good by only pushing you upwards while never letting you fall.

I said two games if you actually read it.

0 LP > 22 LP > 3 LP > 0

Win > Loss > Loss

And that's beside the point?! I'm asking for my desired two roles, not a free win, geezus.

And you already get your preferred role 9 times out of 10.

Yeah so what's the problem with giving it to me another time

Is this supposed to be in Memes and Games? I mean you're literally bronze V you don't have to worry about this

Flex Queue sweety :)

Anyway I would be concerned about this too if I were you because you lost 5 games in a row not too long ago, if we're looking at each other's OP.GG now

If you drop all the way to 0 and lose again, you deserve to be a tier lower.

And even right after you promo, you have a 2-3 game protection window.

So according to you, if I win one and get to 22 LP, then lose 2 because it was a bad day, I suddenly deserve to get shoved into a role I don't really know how to play well and lose another one because I don't know what I'm doing? Huh?

HyperiönApr 12, 20171 votes

Well if you lose 22 LP for a loss in the first place, then you don't belong in that tier anyways.

And second yes, You shouldn't even play ranked if you can't at least play all the roles. You don't have to be a god at it, just enough to get by. And odds, are you will get autofilled support.

So take a weekend, play support and learn it.

You just stated - I don't know what I am doing. Then learn how to do it.

People seem to have forgotten, or started playing after the new champ select.

It used to be pick order. You get the bottom of the picks, odds are you are adc or support. Back then you needed to learn how to play all of the roles. But not it is all the of the new comers who don't want to take the time to learn the roles so they can function in any game, autofill or not.

I said 2 losses. Sometime you lose two in a row. Sometimes you have bad days.
I know the basics how to play support. But my Mastery 3 Alistar is not going to be as effective as my Mastery 7 Twitch or someone else's Mastery 7 Nami.
I surely am not going to waste a bunch of my time trying to learn something I don't find fun. This is a game. I'm not playing it for any other reason than to have fun. I don't care if I have to wait an extra 3 minutes to queue; it's better than wasting 30 minutes in match on a unfun role.

I only bring champs I know I've MASTERED into ranked. At LEAST Mastery 5. Why would I put in hours and hours of my life trying to master a champ I find horrendously boring?

HyperiönApr 13, 20171 votes

I mean I get bad days too, just last week i lost I lost like 7 in a row, and only now climbed back up.

But it is all apart of the climb process, you win some you lose some. You might get auto filled now and then, but just gotta deal with it.
