Hello there if you are reading this, I want to bring some light upon a topic which many solo que players have come upon, and that is autofill. What is autofill you may ask? Well autofill is a system where to keep search times "slower" (they are always slow) you will get filled into an unwanted lane, mostly support. Why is this a problem? When a player gets autofilled they mostly curse riot in chat then they ask the person with their primary role for their lane, there are 3 results : 1. U can have it ^^. 2. Fuck u dont put support as ur role then %%%. 3. No response. This is extremely unfair reason being some people dont know how to play their role, the person will probably pick a troll champ and play like trash or int which ruins games. most of the time the autofilled person ends up dodging which makes the search times even longer. I have been on a team that dodged 6 times where I got my primary but then the game no one dodges I get autofilled support which I dont know how to play. I even have autofill streaks where after a game I get autofilled which is dodged I get autofilled again and again until I think im done playing for the day. This is very unfair, let it sink in that a lane you dont know could get assigned to you and you can do either very good, or very bad, in the end the amount of your lp is the only thing that will change at the end of your ranked game. In the end autofill is a cruel system that ruins games and makes people devise plans in the chat so they can re-arrange roles just because someone doesn't know how to play support. I hope this is seen by a riot employee this system had its time but all things MUST come to an endKled

These posts need to stop, it's a feature, get over it. If you don't know how to play a role go spend a few matches in said role and learn. It's all about the person who has the issue not wanting to make the best of the situation at hand. If you can't learn and adapt you're going to just fall behind the rest of the curve. You assume it's always the "autofill" that dodges yet there's zero evidence in this post to support that claim. Secondly you mention that you got your main role 6 lobbies in a row then happened to get autofilled in the 7th lobby. Damn those numbers are rough, heaven forbid 1 out of 7 chances you find yourself in a less than ideal role (which you choose to not learn). It's not a system problem it's a community problem.

I've only gotten autofilled once or twice like each week.
