At this point in the game, if you autofill a jungler, you're more than likely going to lose. There's so much game knowledge required to do it properly, and just shoving someone into that role because "shorter queues" isn't healthy. When I get autofilled there, I'm lucky as fuck if my lanes can survive without me, because I have no idea what I'm doing.
Gelmous12 votesit's done on purpose, because someone on the autofilled team needs to lose in order to maintain his 50% winrate

pretty much. its just an another way of them forcing 50% winrate for players.
The Great Divide1 votesWell I was at 49%, and they still gave me an autofilled jungler. And not even an autofill jungler, but he also trolled cause "lol don't know how to play jungle"
I remember when everyone had to know every role before playing ranked.
Salson3 votesNah, the jungle is just too different from lanes.
When autofilled support you can just pick Blic and land the hooks, so you mainly have to worry about mechanics. When autofilled jungle you have no idea what you're doing, as there is very little skill you can bring from your main role, which makes the skill disparity enormous.
The problem itself was escalated by shifting jungle into a gankbot playstyle. Mid/Late game focused jungle relied more on knowing how to play your champion than general jungling skill.
20152 votesAgreed, jungle is too important of a role to be auto filled. We can't do much about it though...
ViciousSummoner1 votesLOL! I thought this was going to be a rant about how you were getting autofilled into another role when you wanted jungle.
PePsiLemoNN1 votesNow the jungler? Jeez I swear I saw like 20 posts about botlane this last week.
SSrikeShadow1 votesWhat's just as bad is when jungler gets autofilled to a lane and they are terrible at managing creep waves, damage trades and last hitting. It's a role that requires an entirely different skill set. If the above poster telling us that riot does it to enforce the 50% win rate, then shame on riot because that is despicable. The best solution is to remove autofill entirely or better yet remove the support role, which is the only legitimate reason for autofill.
GayFluffyUnicorn2 votesPeople should have rioted way earlier. Something something riot removes flex Q if q times get unbearable for soloQ instead they shoved autofill down our throats and barely anyone complained.

Handin Out Naps1 votesJungle is honestly pretty braindead rn with all the tanks and catchup xp. It probably wont be that bad unless you have a support main autofilled. Even then i get what you are saying but having an autofilled mid or adc is probably worse. Top can just pick a tank, support is easy as hell, and jungle really isnt that bad.
GayFluffyUnicorn1 votesI mean, yes picking tank top when you are autofilled is on one hand generally the best idea especially right now but let me tell you every main toplaner knows how to abuse the shit out of autofilled tank players.
SSrikeShadow1 votesKnowing a champ means you win trades against people who do not know the champ they are playing.
Handin Out Naps1 votesThe thing about tanks is you really dont have to trade, or try to force fights in lane. You are going to be useful for your utility as long as you dont fall too far behind in cs.
Jerry SeinfeId1 votesKill camps, kill laner, get drake.
RonMcManchester1 votesare u serious? just fucking win ur lane and stop cryng about junglers lul
GayFluffyUnicorn1 votesHard to win your lane when the enemy has an actual jungler while your own jungler plays PvE.
Need Gold 4 Tent1 votesHard to win your lane when the enemy has an actual jungler while your own jungler plays PvE.
There is a fine line between acceptable PVE and being effectively AFK. If your jungler has been getting drakes and stealing camps, maybe you shouldn't be dying to a underlevelled/underfarmed jungler.
Total Eclipse1 votesThis is actually so important.
killer1210011 votesIDK about all this but I think autofill is a pretty bad system - I think people should be able to play their 2 chosen roles, with some kind of OTHER encouragement to take unpopular roles like maybe extra chance at an honor chest or extra IP/Blue Essence or something? It's creating toxicity when a player gets autofilled to a role they don't play and either become toxic themselves or play poorly and get flamed by their team. Imagine making faker play jungle in a tournament because one of his teammates was out sick, instead of replacing his jungler with the 2nd string? He might still do well, but there's no way he will play to the level he plays in mid lane, simply because thousands of hours of practice are lacking there. That's what autofill is, except for players who play solo queue.
Dezell1 votesHere's a helpful list of other roles too important to autofill:
Top, mid, support, your grandma's cat, ADC
autofill is cancer. I only play support so no autofill for me, but I really feel for anyone on my team that gets autofilled.
