"Hurr durr, in the old days everyone had to know offroles because of pick order"

Yeah? Well guess what smartass? Before role selection, being forced to play an offrole like support because you were last pick was not an infrequent occurrence, this could happen several games in a row if you were unlucky enough. Which means you had plenty of practice offroleing.

Now compare that to the current autofill system, assuming you get autofilled into ONLY support(which isn't realistic; getting autofilled into top or jungle isn't uncommon), you're looking at getting that autofilled offrole around 10% of the time. This is NOT sufficient practice to be playing that role at a comparable level to your main roles for the average player, ESPECIALLY at higher elos where the enemy will abuse the absolute shit out of you if you're not up to their level in that role.

tl;dr current ranked system encourages you to master 2 offroles to climb as efficiently as possible but then throws that on it's head with autofill by putting you into a role you cannot practice because you rarely play it

a role you cannot practice

What system prevents you from choosing those other roles in place of your current choices?

Duno, OP is making it sound like you can't practice a role cause Auto fill. And then complain about getting autofilled into the role you couldn't practice.

The only system we ever had that allowed you to practice, not only a specific role, but a specific champion, was teambuilder. It had it's problems with Q times, which is why it got retired after like one season. But it was still good for practice.

Easy solution. Instead of picking two main role + the auto-filled Support, just pick ONE main role and play support secondary. You will never be auto-filled, and you'll have enough practice in Support.

Jungle is probably the only role I wouldnt expect everyone to know because of how dynamic it is. Top/Mid/Adc is pretty much the same thing except different builds. Support really isnt that hard, you dont even have to CS so I dont get why people troll when they get autofilled into something other than jungle.
