Petition: Make the "Fill" option for draft have roles you *DON'T* want to play

Hey guys,

I just wanted to suggest this because, as it stands, it feels like there are essentially 2 "Support" tabs; the actual "Support" tab, and the "Fill" tab.

Basically, there are a lot of games where I mostly don't care what I'm playing. As such, being able to select "Fill" and seeing what I get is pretty alright. However, it does get a bit tiresome when that actually just equates to "Support" every game. If I only wanted to support, I'd simply select that option. I think a nifty feature for the "Fill" option would simply be allowing you to select how many of the roles you're willing to jump into. This way, a person could go "Well, I'll play anything... except Top/Support/Mid". As such, I could go "I'll play Top, Mid, Support, Bot" or "I'll Play Mid, Jungle, Top, or Bot", etc etc

I don't speak for everyone, but I know for myself personally, there are simply times when I want to play MOST of the roles... just not a particular one. I think this would help make the "Fill" option more desirable as well.

I've been dying for something like this. When I solo queue I would rather not play botlane and rely on a partner for half the game. But I don't care what I get in other positions. So being able to say "Anything but bot/supp" would be amazing. Lately I've just been putting Top/Mid

I agree for the most part. "Fill" essentially means you're willing to take any undesired roles for the sake of the team. Unfortunately the mindset of many solo-queue players is that playing the support role leaves your games fate in the hands of other players (untrue). So it is the least desired role in league of legends (and many other games). On the other hand there are a lot of support mains that will primary support and the team may need an "actual fill" but I cant come up with a fix, so fill to me means "Ill support if nobody else wants to."

I've been asking for this since day one.

Really hope they add it.
