WHY?? STOP DOING IT??????? I CAN WAIT TILL AT LEAST 5 MINS. I ranted about this before because of autofilling at 1:40 but apparently i cant let the que get past a fucking minute. I work, I can only play a few games, I used to wait in Paragon lobbies for 15 mins, stop autofilling me WHEN THE QUE ISNT EVEN 3 MINUTES OLD
OtterlyLost9 votesAnd you know, its really weird because I don't ever remember queue timers being that long. Granted, I was the psycho who would play Teambuilder just so I could play the champion I wanted where I wanted and know what my team was going to be like... I miss Teambuilder. :(
scottvsvrup1 votesHm im not familiar, I never had access to a rig that could run league untill this past January. Its my first season, and im in silver 2 ranked ques. I understand that theres a high population of silver players and lobbies could fill up almost instantly if every player had to fill by default, but whats the point of queing for 2 roles if its disregarded before a moment has even passed
OtterlyLost2 votesYour guess is as good as mine, honestly. As for Teambuilder, it was pretty cool. Basically you could opt to queue up as a specific champion in a specific role and then select what roles you wanted to have on your team. So you didn't necessarily have to have a Jungler; you could opt to have a second top laner instead. Or you could opt not to have an ADC at all and queue with two supports as your preferred team make up. The queue timers could be lengthy for that(20 minutes was pushing it but it could easily happen) but you had a lot more freedom over who you played with. Similarly, if you wanted to play an off meta thing, you could queue for it and it could be a sort of warning for people on your team; they would know before champ select that this is what you were going to play and they could kick you before then. It was great for weeding out trolls or toxic people or, if you just didn't feel like playing with an off meta player, you could opt not to have one. Games were a lot less toxic as well.
Really a shame that you couldn't have been here for Teambuilder. It was pretty awesome. It also gave you cool icons for free if you played a certain role enough times. Oh!! And it used to see that you were new to a champion and would attempt to queue you up against other people who were also new to their champion so it was easier to learn them. I almost forgot about that. Teambuilder was AWESOME and had a lot of great things about it that... just don't exist in the current game anymore. :( They could honestly get rid of either blind pick(which sucks) or ranked flex and put in teambuilder instead and I would at least be 100% happier.
Taterbug76 votesJust a thought that I haven't put any time into, but what about being able to set how long you're willing to wait for a match before being autofilled? It could have a maximum amount of time on it, but if people are willing to wait half an hour to get their role, then shouldn't that be for them to decide?
scottvsvrup4 votesI absolutely love that idea Tater
DeathBurst4 votesThe question is not how much YOU can wait, it's how much the AVERAGE PLAYER can wait. If the average player can wait ~2 minutes, EVERYONE starts to get auto-filled a bit before 2 minutes, even those who would be ready to wait for longer.
scottvsvrup1 votesWell yeah obviously, I just gotta think at this point league players are not drawing the line at a pre-2 minute que pop
DeathBurst1 votesHonestly, I'm only talking for myself here, but... I'm fine with 3 minutes, 4 starts to be annoying, and at 5 I'm pissed.
General Esdeath 2 votesBUT THEN PLAYERS WILL QUIT EN MASSE! THE SERVER WILL COLLAPSE AS AUTOFILL HAS TO WAIT LONGER AND LONGER TO FILL IN A SUPPORT! THE SYSTEM IS FINE, SHUT UP AND DON'T COMPLAIN ABOUT IT OR WE'RE ALL GOING BACK TO FREE FOR ALL IN CHAMP SELECT. WE CAN'T HAVE ASSIGNED ROLES WITHOUT AUTOFILL! NOBODY CAN WAIT EXTRA TIME IN QUEUE OR WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!
That's what the Board Knights told me anyway
Saezio2 votesI don't get why riot doesn't allow people to choose when auto fill triggers. If it's taking too long to find a queue people will adapt their timers. It's like riot are treating the community like they are 7 years old and can't even manage basic logic. I swear to god at season 12 the game is gonna remind us to inhale and exhale.
GilxeN1 votesLol i got autofilled at 00:03 sec so....
Jennifer4201 votesautofilling makes sense this season. as actually more and more people quit. its not that uncommon to have a few of your teammembers with you again if you play 2 games in a row.
True Garen1 votesThe issue is, that RIOT does not want you to wait. Their imperative is to have players on their server spend as much time actually playing as possible. So, even though we would all elect to have longer queues for the possibility of better games, the administration's threshhold for desirable balance, is a lot lower than ours.
