Dear Riot Games/Player base,

    I am a lowly bronze league of legends with some heated opinions. A few months back I remember Gbay99 making a video complaining about the que system currently in league of legends ranked, I also watched the round table with him in it talking about this issue. It was to my understanding that i would always get one of my two positions in ranked which i was heavily in favor of. But then when i heard about auto fill i figured it was to speed up ques in higher elos. which i beleive is why it was added. if this is the reason then why am I. A bronze 5 player being put in autofill. I know its 9:30 in the morning but I am postive there are people online in different timezones online. why am i in auto fill. this is ridicoulous. the only reason im fine with the current que system is because you are garenteed on of your positions. this ruins that. why am i getting this.

There is only one logical reason for that to happen.

Your ELO is so low, there is nobody to team you up with. Like Challenger, except negative.

That's just a "logical" response.

Using "Riot Games" and "Logic" in the same sentence, would be called a "comedy".

Regardless, if that'd happen to me, I'd feel that weird pride.

Like going 155 kmh with Smart on a highway, getting pulled over and not getting a ticket, because the cop is too dumb-struck it was possible.

Autofill kicks in when the estimated queue time is too high. Rank doesn't matter. People in other time zones probably play on other servers.

Yes... and for the vast majority of the population in those other time zones, it was even earlier than 9:30am.

Did OP mention where he lives? I've might have missed that part.

But NA really only has 4 main time zones. Easter, Central, mountain, and pacific. Yet it would only give him a max of a 3 hour variant. So if this is Newyork, it would be 6:30 pacific time, and many people would be still in bed. While if he's in LA, it would be 12:30 in NY, where most people would be at work, or eating lunch.

Either way, that's still off peak hours. Personally, I don't really play League until after Dinner. Cause that's when I find the most people to be online.

OP didn't say specifically, but he posted at around 9:30AM eastern time, so that's where I assumed he was. He could well be referring to a previous day though, you're right that I shouldn't be making assumptions without at least stating them.

New Champ Select is bullshit

I mean according to op.gg your MMR is 990 and you only have a 35% win rate. Not meaning this as bad but you are probably put with super low people in ranked that they have to do this
