Autofill needs to be reworked in who gets autofilled

TheGrot··3 votes·584 views

If I'm diamond one, and my teammates are either diamond 3 or diamond 4, why am I the one getting auto filled to a role I never play? Like, matchmaking becomes really unfair, when the one guy who is the highest elo gets autofilled. Because then the other teammates are getting matched against people out of their league, but the person who's supposed to carry according to matchmaking is getting autofilled.

Not saying your post isn't relevant, because I'd be a bit upset if I had to autofill, but.....

Seriously you're Diamond 1. That's a first-world problem my man.

I don't know if you have your own thoughts of Diamond 1 supposed to be the legends of this game, but nobody at that elo knows how to play every role competently.

This is what I mean: You would probably carry a game against 90% of the League population...maybe a higher percentage. Most of us are plebs in comparison, so it makes your complaint seem rather...unimportant.

You have to understand that you're the 1%. We're the 99.

Autofill only applies to people at high elo, and it along with matchmaking is a problem for pretty much everyone around diamond 1 right now. The fact that diamond 1 players can get mixed into a diamond 4 game is not healthy. The skill gap between those divisions is massive.

Not healthy? That's like saying anyone in a div one shouldn't be placed with anyone at div 4/5 but that's how the system always worked.

I looked in your history and saw one where there was a Master on a Dia 4 team, do you think they really cared that much? You're all at the tip top of the elo ladder, there shouldn't be an issue.

i do not understand why you refuse to understand the OP's problem.

Let me spell it out to you:

I am good player. As result of auto-fill, my team is junk. My opponents are junk, the game is junk.

Bare in mind: rank is relative. Diamond 1 sees diamond 4 as junk. Just as you, if you have me on your team, are pissed at having a junk support.

Not really. I looked passed the actual rank. If someone is bad they are just bad, has nothing to do with the ranking. They could be slightly higher and still be something bad. You're S5, I'm S3, yeah we'd be matched together (if on the same server of course) and that's something I'm used too.

If I were pissed at having a bad support, something would be wrong with the match itself cause I'm a support main so tend to do that more often then anything XD

The system probably expects the highest ranked person to know the most roles.

I wonder if the system autofills one player on each team. For the sake of fairness.

It probably doesn't.

Even doing that one autofill does not equal another.

As for the thread it probably doesn't consider MMR at all. I bet autofill only thinks to lighten the most popular role unto the one needed.
