Why I am so often filled as support

I am always picking top/jungle and yet I got today filled 3rd time in row as support. Is there any hidden formula, that makes me preffered target for support?

You can't be even twice in a row. There has to be games in between. at least read how autofill works before you bash it.

You are more likely to be autofilled supp than any other role because lack of support players is why riot came up with autofill.

How do you get auto filled three times in a row?

I found that if someone dodges, staying in queue and not restarting queue can make it a bit more likely

No idea what determines who exactly fills. It could just be a case of the (un)luck of the draw. I'm not sure what's the most popular lane at every bracket, but I assume that Top/Jungle are probably popular picks in your division/rank. Since there's a high-number of people from those two roles, someone has to get sent to support.

That still doesn't cover 'why you' explicitly, but it's reasonable to say that Mid/ADC are probably not getting auto-filled as often.

Why not play one game as pure 'fill' or even 'top/fill' and after that you should have immunity for a few games. Does it suck to play a role you don't like? Sure. But being a more rounded player will make it easier to climb.
