Solution to Autofill Dodging Abuse

You can rank-up significantly faster by dodging games in which you're autofilled. The LP loss matters less than the preservation of a higher MMR. This puts players who wish to play out the autofilled games at a disadvantage relative to those who dodge. Moreover, dodges increase queue times, the very thing autofill exists to solve.

To make it fair and avoid dodges purely due to autofill, the game should remember if you were previously autofilled and give you the same position next lobby if you previously dodged.

By doing this, a player can't outperform another merely by dodging when autofilled. Thus, the incentive to dodge at all is reduced and queue times will actually become shorter while also having a more fair ladder.

Or autofill could just not exist.

See the issue here is you're defending autofill, when it shouldn't exist at all in the first place since in the end it just decreases match quality by putting someone in a role they're not as good at. It supposedly exists to "promote matchmaking quality" as it helps us get into games faster, but in the end the match itself is of lower quality when someone is in an offrole because of autofill and they end up laning against someone who wasn't autofilled.

This is especially true in extremely high elo where matches can be easily decided by which team got fucked over harder by autofill

I'd rather have fewer games with everyone in their desired role than more games with some ruined by autofill Quality over quantity

You got what you wanted "community". Enjoy the autofill.

I hope you start to remember every time people intentionally fed the lane to call to report an offmeta, the super dependent ADC instalocker with a bard support selected, and the good times that was the classic dynamicQ premade that would always report their support for dying.
