If you choose Jungle/Mid but get Support because of Autofill, what was the point of letting you choose lanes?
Create an option to disable Autofill and have long queue times if it means getting the role you actually queued for!
Arcus Diabolus3 votesWorst case, its still a better solo Q than the previous version.
In the past, you had 5 roles you MUST know how to play in order to get anywhere in league. You could be placed in any of these roles irregardless to anything besides your team's personal preference and the dreaded pick order. If you got last pick, you typically got support. If you got 3 or fourth pick, chances of you getting what you want is hazy at best. You could only really get what you wanted if you were first of second pick. This applied to all 5 members of your team simultaneously.
Now, you can have which ever two you like. You are virtually the old model's first or second pick all the time, except in select situations, someone might have to get the short end of the deal for the sake of getting things going. But 4 out of 5 players are still getting their first or second pick. No one is really getting put into their 3rd or 4th picks, and the only one getting the last pick is randomly generated.
So in essence, in the old model, as many as 6 out of the 10 players could end up with a role they didn't want. With the new one with auto fill, an absolute maximum of 2 will end up with a role they don't want. The other 8 are doing what they do best.
Mysticman893 votesYou get warned when autofill is active so you essentially can opt for the long wait option. Which is to say, cancel the queue, and try again later.
Calabok1 votesno can do monsieur
BananaJannana1 votesoui oui?
Paroe1 votesits almost as if the new queue system is good on paper but terrible in practice... the previous system was a metric fragton better, in my opinion.
MrTurkey1 votesSo, basically, you can opt-out from the autofill queue, by not queueing at all. Which means less people in the queue. That is, a bigger queue time. Do I see any logic in here?
