I havent played jungle since I was in Gold, randomly place me in jungle vs someone who mains the role, seems fair cause why not you know?
Its stupid, I have to lose one in 12 games cause aUtOfIlL, idgaf about que times Ill wait more but why you handing me a free lose? I cant keep up with a jungle main, its just a fact, so my team has to suffer my stupid ass in jungle
last I heard, jungle was the least picked role due in part to the myriad of changes to the jungle as a whole and champions that function in the jungle
(support I believe was second but they could be left over from last season)
sadly autofill is needed; it isn't perfect but without it
queue times would be on par with what master or higher tiered players see (30+min at bare minimum) because there aren't many people picking to play those roles
You're expected to be at least competent in every role, that's part of why autofill exists. It's a small remnant of the days before we had role selection, when you would get to pick your role based(Mostly) on pick order. It was a very common statement to hear "You should know how to play every role before you queue for ranked, it's your own fault if you get stuck with one you don't know/play and lose because of it.". I kind of agree with how it works to be honest, part of being x rank is knowing all of the roles well enough to hold x rank.
It can suck when it does happen, but it's motivation to go and practice whatever role you got autofilled to and felt inadequate. At least these days if you warn your team that you're autofilled you can often get a swap(If you ask for it), or at least some leeway from your team if you end up sucking. Previously people would just flame non stop for not knowing whatever role you got stuck with, it's certainly improved quite a bit from those days.
