The reason Riot wont get rid of autofill is because of 2 things

  1. Low elo complain about wait times. (you have like 3 min max of a wait)

  2. High elo always like to go mid/top. autofill makes someone go support.

if it werent for autofill (looking at bjerg stream) his wait was 2 hours long.

This is why we have autofill, either we WAIT or... we autofill

I think Riot should at least bring back Team builder. When you go to queue up, choose between autofill (much faster queue times) and TB (longer wait for a guaranteed roll).

Autofill is fine guys. Just learn to supp although i agree for some it can get boring but you choose burst mage supp if lets say you like to get kills now and then. It's better than going afk or choosing a bonobo supp i.e. darius. I think jungl is the toughest role to play now since it has the most influence on the team in this season.

well thankfully it doesnt trigger toooo often, but it doesnt leave me wanting to learn supp either. its a role i would never play voluntarily and the gaps between when i get autofilled as one are too much for me to properly take in how to supp properly, a good chunk of my supp experience has faded away by the next time i get autofilled into it again

People moan about autofill too much. Remember how it was when it was blind picks? I'd rather fill then waste time in queue fighting for a role and dealing with last second dodges.

Ppl still do that. I got top and I had someone say "im going top, the system put me as adc, I didnt choose it". And locked Nasus. 95% of the time, people dont accept the queue 3-4 times in a row, then you get autofilled sup. Queue dodges are still very much a thing as well. Happens every 1-2 matches.

You must be really unlucky.

Explain why diamond up and plat down need to have the same system? (they don't)

Id wait for 5-8 min if everyone got one of their 2 picks. Makes no sense that the system auto fills players that don't dodge and accept the AFK check. Riot is punishing the players that don't do those things, I find this hilarious.

(Fill tip for low elos: Leave the Queue and re-enter after someone dodges champ select, yes you'll be moved to the end of the list but hey its only another 3 min to get back in there) and your less likely to be filled..... key word here is "less" likely

Auto fill is another reason ADC is the worst role this season (#adc2k17) the support is FORCED to play WITH an ADC. They don't want to support, they want to carry.

I've started asking the support pre game if they were filled support so I would know if I needed to dodge, if they are ok with the role, or if I need to pretend like I have an orbiting meat shield I cant depend on.

Auto-fill on Normal (non-ranked) games make no sense at all (normal's are for practice riot). The way its set up now someone thinks "Hey, I want to try a free champ out!" I go set up a mastery page and a rune set, maybe google a guide or a probuild. Run through a quick custom or an AI game, all's good next step is normals. You wait for the queue timer and, sit through a few AFK declines and a dodge or two then BAM Autofilled support.

^This is the F%#@ YOU RIOT! moment.^

Its a stupid system, just like losing 22 LP when someone AFKs in the first 10 min. ( or at all for that matter )
