Autofill feels like a lose-lose situation in ranked queues.

Let me start this off by saying this, I understand why Riot implemented the autofill system. They wanted to shorten queue times and push players to play other roles, and overall I think it can be a good thing, but in ranked it is by far the most frustrating thing to have happen to you during your climb. I have zero reason to play out an autofilled game as my chances at winning are gonna be slimmer as I'm going to be forced into a role I don't wish to play. Yes, I, and most other people, have champions they can play in multiple roles, but when a mid laner on your team effectively steals our position and then feeds why do I have to get the same amount of LP loss? Losing a good portion of the LP I grind for due to something like that is beyond irritating and I think i'm just gonna take the 5 minute dodge timer and like 3 LP for the dodge when I get autofilled from now on. Until there is a reason for me to play an autofill game, such as losing less LP for a loss or even just gaining a little bit more than I really don't see a point in bothering with it.

in any players promo's none in their team should be autofilled ever. Prove me wrong.

lol autofill should never have been forced upon the whole playerbase, and that's the end of the discussion. It should have been an option for people who hate the longer queue times, while people with smaller champion pools are allowed to wait out the long queue to play the role they want.

Doesn't autofill not actually mean anything? Or did Riot also remove positional matchmaking?

Because if positional matchmaking exists, it doesn't affect your chances of victory at all
