Can we get rid of auto-fill yet?

Kalvix··5 votes·3,049 views

I seriously still don't see why this is a thing, it takes normally a minute or less to find a game and normally you get the role you want anyway so clearly the queue times wouldn't be massively higher, the only place it would help is higher elo but by them people specialise so much it's even worse and screws things up even more.

Honestly I'd rather have the option to wait 20minutes for a game in the 1 role I'm perfecting than spend 20minutes + losing a game in a role I don't have a clue how to play.

Welp, the majority of the playerbase doesn't want to wait, which is why it was put there in the first place.

Once you remove it, the complaints will go right back to lengthy queue times again anyways, because people complain to complain

Maybe an option to choose ?

Some of us dont bother waiting more.

Theres no need to segregate, like i said a simple check box where it would say "wait more at your risk to not get auto fill" would suffice

Isn’t that called blind pick?

Where did you get these statistics from that the majority don't care about how well they do in a game and just want to quickly get into matches to run straight at people? I'd think as its a tactical game more people would want to be able to play the role they actually play, and certainly you'd imagine there's more people who want to give people a choice.

Also I'd like to point out before choosing positions was a thing I suggested it and had people screaming "no you noob it'll make 20min queue times you noob go **** yourself no wait time!". And guess what... it's about as fast as it always was, and honestly I doubt removing auto-fill or at least making it an option would make it much worse.

They could even just make it so you either turn off auto-fill or ONLY auto-fill so the people who don't care what position they get and just want a quick match can constantly fill the positions people don't want to play as much. But as I said I'd happily wait 20 minutes and definitely get the role I want instead of being forced to play a role I've barely ever played which basically makes the game a 4v5 right off the bat, as at that point you just spend 20+ minutes waiting to lose anyway.

Hell they could even just make it so you can auto-fill all you want in un-ranked but at least in ranked make it so you ALWAYS get the position you want, most pros seem to play basically 1 role, yes they have a second they can play to a lot as well but if even the pros tend to focus on 1 role with a backup then how do they expect your average joe to auto-fill into a random position and be able to do anything?

I'd rather have longer wait times than potentially have a ruined game because of autofill.

Remove auto-fill pls

No. Because I want my queue times to be under 3h just because nobody wants to play support.

Autofill will not be leaving anytime soon. Not unless Riot figures out something better.

Queue times are currently 10s-2mins (at worst), why do you think auto-fill being removed would effect it that much? and if it does it kind of shows that some positions are just not fun to play and need reworking. I'd rather wait 3 hours for a match than spend 3 hours in a game in a position I don't play (to use your numbers)

So far seems at 50/50 at worst for wanting it gone, so would be nice to at least get a test period of it either being gone or having the option to turn it off in exchange for longer queue times.

You cannot get rid of auto-fill while keeping role select. End of story. Do some research and learn why, because that's not about to change.
