Stop crying about auto fill

xJLx MCHammer··4 votes·402 views

Ranked used to force you to learn multiple roles because you had to CALL a role and hope that the players were willing to swap or take roles Back then, not only did you have to learn a main role, but at least two other roles. You didn’t have the benefit of specializing in one role for guaranteed 70-80% of the time you play.

Today, you must auto fill a role in about 1 of every 5 games. Majority of the time that role is support. That is less likely now because of the dominance of the bot lane meta.

Stop crying! Learn to play more roles. You don’t have to excel just understand match up. People are complaining too much, “game is decided by who has more auto fill”. Role back a few years and the same thing is said about ranked.

You don’t want any fill? Do you really think there are equal players for every role? Please! There is clearly a need for a auto fill, otherwise you will have huge wait time

Give players a no auto-fill option and let them opt into the longer wait time? Sure it will effect the wait time of every player but then atleast everyone can feel like its their/the communities` fault for every extra second they wait.

Alot better than being auto filled and feeling powerless over it.

Auto-fill exists outside of ranked.

I have just gotten into the habit of picking "fill" every game. So far it has been about 80% Support, 15% Jungle with a random Top in there occasionally... I actually really enjoy support and I know most don't so it works for me. I just really wanna get into games since I have limited time anyway.

Letting players choose a no auto-fill option would be nice though for sure.

If you let people choose no fill or fill queue, you can’t put those type of people together in a queue. There is a clear advantage for one type of queue

You’d have to separate those players. A lot like how dynamic queue was unfair.

Realistically you can let players opt into more roles but that’s the only thing. This I’m okay with

Learn more roles? Pff. I've only ever been autofilled top for months.

Why not allow more options than just picking your top 2 roles?
