I dont like it personally I dont like queing up for two roles and not getting either and I can jg top or mid.I also feel like people should be able to play where they feel comfortable and where they like not where no one likes to play thats not fair.Idk maybye its just me but.
Quepha3 votesFor the role selector to exist at all, this is necessary to prevent queue times from going crazy, the only other option would be to make the roles so indistinct that no one cares what role they get to begin with.
The people who cry about having to support should suck it up and remember this is a team game and it benefits them to understand a support's perspective. In a worst-case scenario you would only have a 20% chance of being forced onto support and if they are so dead-set against having to take turns 20% of the time then they should seriously get out of this game.
Jayblaze1 votesLow ranks didn't have autofill for the s6. We dont need it. I always queue up as mid/jungle and got queues up to 18 min, and im fine with that because i know i will have the role i wanna play. Also people dodge like crazy since riot added autofill in my elo. Imo autofill isnt necessary since i played a whole season without it.

Queue times were bad and were getting worse with only a couple support reworks working as a band-aid to keep people excited about the support role, it was one of the major complaints of last season even from people in lower ranks. Riot exacerbated the problem by sharding the playerbase with flex queue and solo/duo queue (which I think was a bad idea, they should have just had a single queue with accounts having separate ranks and MMR for playing in parties vs. playing solo).
Martensitic2 votesI can live with it.
Autofill is like a bitter medicine. Of course no one wants to take it, but it does make things better.
And besides, I have been playing for 5 seasons at the mercy of random-pickorder assigning me to which roles I am allowed to play.
The people who cry "hurrdurr I cannot support!" can either git gud or f* off.
Weathered1 votesI feel fine with it. It annoys me how much people bitch about not being allowed to two trick in ranked when not too long ago ranked was dictated by pick order and you had to "pref" a role. Learn to play the rest of the roles, one or two tricking to your rank is the exact reason you hate autofill, because once you have to play an off role all of sudden your skill isn't what you thought it was.
Erockandroll1 votesDoesn't really affect me as I will play just about any role.
I suspect that their might have been a feedback loop when Riot tried to implement, auto fill protection. Since more people are protected, more people are needed to fill the gaps. That in mind, it should promote support/fill options a little bit, simply to get that protection, so it seems like a creative solution. That in mind, I keep hearing stories about people losing that protection just because someone dodged. And that is kinda problematic, cause people are getting cheated out of the system when that happens.
The other issue is that Riot had separated Flex Q from Solo/Duo. Dividing the player base like that, is probably the other reason why Auto fill is enabled.
