Autofill in Ranked Queues

LlebDragoon·Dec 25, 2019·3 votes·4,896 views

I'm confused about how autofill is still a system in ranked competitive modes. If you get autofilled, why do you get the same amount of lp lost compared to you playing your main role. It is so frustrating to be playing well and on a win streak and your momentum to be cut short by being placed into support. I know it's to speed up queue times, but I'd rather wait 30 minutes than get filled into support. I need some other opinions because it might just be that I'm tilted but I'm pretty sure it would help the game a lot if this dog system was removed.

I think it would be good to lose a reduced amount of lp if you're autofilled. As long as it doesn't apply to people who chose fill, I think it could work well. Placed in a role you don't perform well in? Well don't worry, you won't lose as much LP.

Except we literally had this at the start of this season and everyone who got auto-filled just trolled, because they weren't being penalized for the loss.

I know what you mean, but why have the autofill system in the first place? I'm sure that in ranks under masters there are enough players for each role to have queue times less than 10 minutes. Also, as I said in the OG post, I don't know a single person that wouldn't wait an extra 2-5 minutes instead of being placed in an off role like support.

Riot attempted role specific LP loss and gains in which you lose less LP if you are filled. What happened was players who were filled soft inted their games just to have them over faster so that they could enjoy fill protection and more than make up for the small amount of LP lost.
