I wanna say thanks to Riot for autofill

Halfway through season 4 I decided I was never gonna play support or jungle.

Around the same time the juggernauts were a thing I quit top.

Now I'm actually getting into support and top again. I was 0-6 with support in season 4 and currently i'm 5-2 with Karma. After a few more normals I'm gonna be playing Rumble top too.

It's teaching me a lot of things I never knew about the game before and even though I'm still pretty shit at the other roles it's giving me new stuff to toy around with and learn the game at a deeper level, and I appreciate that.

What about all the other people playing ranked and want to have good quality games? Makes sense for norms and drafts but not ranked. Ranked is the place where people try and actually win, not to have someone drag them all down. I can understand it in regular games but it's ridiculous in ranked. I'm not sure if they did take feedback from any of the community for this idea but it sure as hell doesn't look like it.

Right? I never would've learned the wonders of Fiddle ~~carry~~ support.

LOL.

How does that work?

Heavy poke and silence. The fear can really mess up ADC fights and certain support combos. If you manage to get your crow off when there are no enemy minions nearby it will bounce between both of them for an absurd amount of damage. Drain gives some sustain so poke doesn't stick.

back in the day every ranked match had somebody forced into supporting, usually last pick

Auto fill defeats the purpose of the intended system. I for one would rather wait 10 minutes for a game that I can win then get a game with someone who doesn't want to play their role and feeds. Where as the op might benefit from this feature, a lot of people are being hurt by it.

The intended system was a failure, so Riot tried to compromise more erring toward the player's experience than call order ever did.

I get shitty games with autofillers too. It happens. But I can guarantee now that I don't have a fight almost every single champ select.

my biggest complaint is the amount of dodges i get, i seem to have to go into 2-3 lobbies before i finally get a game that i play and my wait time is longer than last season by almost double
