Riot, Please get rid of Autofill, PLEASE, but hear me out...
As a player in lower divisions in LoL Ranked Queue, I feel as though the players are not as prepared as higher elo players to auto-fill. This auto-fill system puts players and teammates, especially in ranked, at a disadvantage because of the lack the preparedness to Auto-fill into support role. This system is what loses the game for most players without even having started the game. With players choosing two positions prior to waiting, there is no reason to have to get auto-filled with the amount of players that are on at one time. Yes, auto-fill decreases wait time in queue, but at the cost of someone's LP or even promotional series. As someone who takes the game seriously and wants to climb the ranked Divisions, I find myself losing game after game because someone get's auto-filled into support and no one wants to cover them, why? because their teammates did not queue up as support either. So there in-lies the problem. I also understand that summoners can be "auto-fill Protected" but that does not prevent your teammates from getting auto-filled. I feel as though this system would work out in Normal Draft mode, where the game is taken less seriously, however, a player on your team who has been auto-filled into a position that they are unfamiliar with is a huge detriment, and this community is rather heart-less when it comes to switching roles, especially the support role. Overall, removing the Auto-fill aspect of the game will not only improve quality of life as a summoner, but will also prevent players from dodging queue after queue all the while not having to worry about a sub-par Support or Jungle who got Auto-Filled. Removing this system will also decrease the likely hood of summoners verbally abusing one another, leading them to getting reported, all because they got filled into a role that they do not play. It is, in my opinion, silly to have this system, as I believe that summoners would not mind waiting longer queue times in order one of their two desired roles.
