Marksmen Should Not get Autofilled

They play the most crucial role in a team and the difference between a person substituting an ADC player and an actual ADC main is the distance between the sun and earth, from the way they move, to how they cs, trade and what-not, you can tell someone's not adept at the role in less than a minute of how they play the first 2 levels.

Other roles people could manage for sure, single 1v1/warding here and there,ganking etc. but a top lane player (let's say a riven/jax main) gets put in a 2v2 and suddenly he's on training wheels, making numerous mistakes, not taking the 2nd and potential third player into consideration is a big no-no in my opinion at least.

Granted autofill is obviously not wanted ever, but in some cases it's necessary in order for us to find and play at least a single game in an hour, then again some exceptions could be made for the most volatile role (i hope).

/rant, My thoughts

No. Why cause i have seen autofill top playing tank and staying behind his team all the time and come in for the last hit on kills while they are building tank items or build damage and die over and over and they dont change their build path to help them live more to farm and level up. I have seen junglers afk farming or ganking when the minion waves crash to the tower or the laners are too low on hp and/or mana to help and the gank fail or worse they feed enemy laner. I have seen autofilled supports who ward less or dont know how to engage or dissengage and feed in lane and after while the adc follows cause enemy bot is mega fed -so both your adc and support are baggages for the rest of the team unless enemy mega throw or with a miracle catch up with kills and cs. I have seen autofilled mid laner ( yes they exist!) that just farm and dont roam or follow enemy laner roam to bot or top or worse the build wrongly eg our Zed is losing vs an ap mage (like zed is 0/3 or 0/5) and guess what are his first 3 buys ...duskblade,tier 1 boots, yommus- merc boots after he complete the 2 armor pen items and hexdriker is build on 4 or 5th item. SO PLAYERS IN AUTOFILLED ROLES IN GENERAL are underperforming and may cost the game for the rest of the team and autofilled came along for 2 reasons 1) reduce waiting times and 2)stop role calling and forcing the last pick to pick what its left (usually support). Now do I like autofilled? No. Do I like to wait to find games? If i get my both team gets their desired roles AND all 10 players are similar skill (not smurfs or eg a silver in a platinum 4 game). Will Riot change it? NOPE.

Yeah no, I rather have an autofilled ADC than an autofilled Jng.
