I didn't care much about autofill, until recently
I know there is a lot of arguments on the autofill selection but I didn't really care much until last night, on my main account, I had a top laner who was autofilled there.
During champ select, he repeatedly told us to dodge because we were going to lose and waste 45 minutes of our time. None of us didn't really take it seriously.
He had Ashe preview selected as his top laner. We told him to pick a real top champion. He locks in Ashe, says "I main ADC," and proceeds to tick us off. "I told you to switch" was his next statement as well.....and he fed his butt off as well. We lost the game.
So autofill isn't much of a help in hindsight. It only breeds toxicity, and doesn't help the rest of the teammates who have to play with the troll who got autofilled and decides to troll like this because they didn't get the role they wanted. These trolls do crap like this, or:
- Run down mid lane constantly dying
- Ask to switch roles and if someone accepts, rudely takes a role away from someone that got the role they wanted first just so they get to play what they want and bypass the autofill
- Pick off meta, such as champ for the role they wanted to play and use it in the role they were given.
Etc, etc.
I think Riot needs to give this autofill thing a good hard look at again because people are losing LP and games from this. Things were fine before. We didn't need this change, but typical Riot, they change things for the sake of change even though it's majorly disapproved of (like ranks for all roles, which was disapproved of but still was implemented anyway because they wanted to "try it out").
