@Riot Autofill is pushing people away
Riot,
I completely understand the logic behind auto-fill, but unfortunately this is not helping normal or ranked draft queue times. From my experience the dodge rate has increased substantially since auto-fill has been enacted. What makes things worse is that players will go through pick intent, banning phase, and wait until it is their turn to lock in a champ while waiting for the time to expire before the queue will restart. This is completely frustrating for all players. It makes draft rift matches less fun as no one wants to sit through multiple queues just to play a single game. Has such auto-fill is increasing queue times as I am playing more Arams since the wait is less of an issue. More players are doing this as well from what I have seen.
