@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.

I'd rather have autofill the some bitch saying "mid or feed" or "I called it before you entered the room"

Well the autofill is for draft mode, not blind pick.

Auto fill isn't an issue for me because at my elo you can play any role passively and still do well (gold). I can see where it's frustrating, but longer queue times are just as bad. On my new "one trick" account I tried to play normal draft (at level 11) and the queue time was reaching 9 minutes. So something is seriously going on right now with the playerbase.

Yeah, I've been playing more and more ARAMs because Goibf through mutiple draft phases only for someone to dodge each time is quite annoying. I don't mind supporting, but apparently a large portion of the player base just doesn't want to bite the bullet and try

It's so weird, because I very rarely see dodges -- and if I do it's because someone forgets to ban usually
