It's 2020. Auto-fill needs to be removed from normals.

It often takes me over 30 minutes to get into a normal game, because I have to sit through a dozen lobbies being dodged at the last second. And then after spending those 30 minutes in lobbies, chances are I'm now also auto-filled.

If you have the choice between either spending 15-40 minutes in a role you don't even want to play, or waiting 5 minutes and likely getting into another game with a role you actually do want to play, taking the 5 minute cooldown is a no brainer.

The end result being that the vast majority of people dodge when they get auto-filled in normals, because there's no real penalty. The intended purpose of 'making games happen' when the role distribution isn't balanced isn't being fulfilled.

The feature is completely useless. This should have been realized and it should have been removed long ago.

You cant remove autofill. If you remove it queue time would be 30 minutes because for 5 games there is only 1 jungler

Out of everything in this game ( except for the existence of jinx, kaisa and lux...maybe teemo and yasuo fo sho ) ppl constantly dodging is the moat irritating, aggravating, enraging, wretched hideousness that ever birthed from this game. I mean why click play if you aint gonna play? IMHO if you click start then you HAVE to accept the queue! It should be as mandatory as paying taxes....seriously.

Autofill is absolute cancer. Autofill is Riot's way of saying "We want people to play the roles that no one else wants because we gave no intention on making them interesting."

It needs to be removed from low Elo. My que times are 5 minutes long AT MOST every time I leave and rejoin a que over 1 minute. Just do this to avoid being autofilled. After 1:30 minutes, the game will attempt to autofill you Jungle from my experience.

This makes me think of team builder and how much I miss it. Yeah, it'd take a long time to get certain champs and roles, but at the end of it, you played a game as WHO you wanted, with a team you liked, WHERE you wanted.
