Autofill Protected

What's the purpose of the "autofill protected" thingy, isn't it the same as a normal q? It says it guarantees you one of your roles that you pick but that's the same with or without it. Wouldn't it make more sense for it to only give you your primary role?

Autofill is a system that forces players to play the less popular roles. It forces "fill" to be a third options alongside your primary and secondary choices. You might select your two favorites, but autofill makes it so you can be assigned to any of the five roles.

If you willingly play a less popular role (support or fill) then you will be protected from the autofill system for a few games. That protection is given to people who do their part in lowering queue times, and lets them avoid being forcefully assigned to a role they don't necessarily enjoy when they want to.

Yeah but unless you are diamond 1 or above if you get autofill you can just cancel the q and it will just go away when you q again.

It might go away, and it might not. What you're doing is increasing your own personal queue time by waiting until there's a time where autofill is not required.

Hypothetically you could spend hours waiting for autofill to go away. That's not usually the case, but because of the way the system is built you could.

Closing the queue just makes it check if autofill is still active, it does not remove autofill and make it go away.

Rather have a longer que time then be forced into a role I dont want to play for 25+ minutes

Riot cares more about the majority than the individual. When the majority is the one supported the individual always gets screwed over. It happens in everything, and there's a long history to back this up.

Don't forget this, even when you become part of the majority.

Honestly it doesn't sound like you're getting any enjoyment from League. Might be best to take a break from it and see what is out there.
