If you're autofilled

Speak up

Nobody is gonna hunt you down, and there's a good chance someone else will swap with you. But please, don't play a role/champ you don't know just because you're autofilled.

This also comes with the obvious stipulation of not losing your shit when nobody swaps with you. Have a backup champ you can play for each lane. Find someone you're at least decent enough with that you'll at least be able to not feed on in case nobody will swap.

Better idea, learn every role first. I only like playing top and support, but if i get fileld to jg, mid or adc i know how to play them.

Not really a better idea. In ranked, it's better to master one role. People who fill usually don't amass the knowledge to play any one role as good as their allies.

But there's a good chance someone on your team prefers ADC to their own role. And you could easily take that top lane role because your top laner was autofilled.

I mean, thats up to the players to negotiate and good on em if their accommodating but its not always to case. All everyone is saying is if your doing autofill don't be totally green in any role. I usually roll support then jg but I know some champs in the others roles enough to farm and not feed.

Same should hold true for champs you hate. Don't ignore them out of spit. Come to understand them and it gives you the knowledge you need to work better against them. Most of the time this means playing passively to while learning. With assassins especially, its far better to deny them as many kills as possible and starve em. Usually if their on equal footing gear wise its harder for them to get away with some of their insane plays their known for later.

My advice, play Teemo. Doesn't matter what roll you got, teemo is good enough at it that you can play it and not be a troll. And it is fun.

Learning a role and being good at it are different.

Long time players (and no-lifers) can play every role if need be, they can understand winning and losing match ups, itemization, strategies etc etc

It doesn't make it any less of a detriment to their team when they get autofilled even when they know how to play a role.

meh... If your autofilling im pretty sure you need to display a certain level of competency before it becomes an option i think. if you are autofilling then that usually means you should have some idea of what to do in any role. otherwise its just better to queue knowing what role you wanna practice. Ive almost never used it because i like knowing what im going into a game doing.

But ya, if ya don't know most roles go practice some after picking a few champs to go to (in case of bans). Most of the time new players are either feeders or so scared they're hardly useful and learning nothing when they just throw themselves into a role.
