Autofill is... interesting ?

I que Jg/top and after someone dodged in a lobby where I got jg, naturally, I got autofilled sup the next one.

Here is the funny thing... Our jungle was actually ADC/sup and got autofilled jg, Our top was also autofilled (what a surprise), and guess what... also plays sup, ADC/sup.

How the !@#$ do I get in a lobby with autofilled jg AND top who are both sup offrole but I'm the one filled sup ?

Needless to say we got lucky with our main roles and we swapped around reducing the lobby players to only 1 autofilled + 1 offrole instead of the initial 3 autofilled. There shouldn't be lobbies with 3 autofilled players lol. Just remove that !@#$ pls.... Doesn't make any sense.

Many people say there are autofilled when they don't get first role but second role. Also: don't go into a game after someone dodged. It's 90% Autofill. Better decline and restart queue.

I don't understand why they make it that way. It's like the system thinks you were all the time in queue after somone dodged. Like "OMG he is waiting since 3 minutes!! Better put him into a game fast even when it's autofill!!" That's why you often get INSTANT invite after someone dodged. So fast you can't even restart queue. It's so idiotic. Why not just restart queue automatically?? No one wants to play autofill!!

I would love an option to not get auto filled, even if it meant waiting a bit longer for a match. My problem is when I get jg, which is the only role I never learned to play. I'd also be happy with an option to choose one role I don't want to be put in, an 'Any role except.....' kind of thing.

Yesterday, I queued for Jungle/Mid and my friend for ADC/Top.

He got auto filled to jungle, and I got auto filled to ADC. lol

Had something like this happen to myself as well, 4 outa 5 people in a lobby were autofilled, they didnt get their main or their offroles just a random third alternative.

I think autofill has some weird hiccups from time to time.

Had a game a fair amount of time ago where literally everyone was off-role, but by switching around, we could all get our mains.

Could this be some leftover bullshit from the positional ranks fiesta? Like, the system autofilled you to make the match's MMR acceptable? Idk just saying

Riot: "So you want jungle or top and you want adc or support? nah were gonna give the adc jungle, the support top and junlger adc even though we could of filled those roles with out an issue in the first place!" It's like why. It should only Auto Fill If there is no one queing for a role currently to bring the ques down not some (oh you played this number games? auto fill time!)

Autofill should not exist in ranked queues period. If ranked queues are there to play your best characters in your best roles, there straight up should not be a chance to just get pushed off what you queue for.

Lmao I haven't been autofilled in months, that's a nice part of being an ADC main

I main mid, and play jungle slightly better than top, I used to make my positions mid/jungle, but I got jungle 3 games in a row. Switched to mid/top and got mid so many more times.

Well im so disagree with the whole autofilled thing and i think it should be removed from the game but this problem that u said never happened to me before in whole time im playing league i mean someone quene for jng and autofill top and also in same lobby someone who chosed top get autofill in jng? and btw why did u censored the names ? u know if u want to put a screen shot for prove it should not be edited at all even a dot. it should be fullscreen without editting containing client too. and i say again autofilled is so bullshit i agree but this problem u saying its kinda impossible and it never ever happened to me in 3 years of my league life.

Literally all of these complaints would be nonexistent if people played support every one in five games. Autofill is not going away, we've seen what the alternative was and it was worse. It's either autofill, pick order, or play the least popular role once in a while.
