Autofill is actually so unnecessary in lower ranks.

Like in at least gold and below, autofill is not needed at all and such an unnecessary hinderence to climbing. Like getting someone who doesn't play their role vs someone who one tricks or knows a ton of champs of in that role just makes it agonizing. Like I CAN jungle if need be, but I'm pretty bad, I know how to farm and maybe get in a gank but it's not a role I prefer to play or like to, meanwhile I'm against an Udyr who has 1000 games on him and knows every jungle path and how effectively he farms.

On the contrary when I play my main role mid, it's very apparent when I'm vs someone who never plays mid or has a lack of knowledge of the lane and role. In ranked, where people should be bring their best, its really stupid that there is a chance that you can get a role you aren't good at.

Lastly, why in gods name do we have autofill in gold and below??? Like isn't that where 70-80% of the league pop is? Why would we have trouble finding games? Even if we did, I think a majority of people wouldn't mind waiting an extra few minutes to get teammates who get their main roles.

End rant, I've been burned by autofill too many times.
