I think we should remove autofill in ranked.
Greetings. It's been a long year in 2016 where there was a lot of modifications to the overall league experience.
However, out of all the reworks, the changes in masteries, the jungle changes... There's only one change that I feel impacts the ranked experience in general, I'm talking here (like the title states) of autofill being activated in ranked games.
While I get that waiting queues can sometimes be long, which created this feature, I feel like this is NOT a feature you want to have available in ranked, mainly because while it helps with queue time, it also makes a huge impact on overall winrates (atleast mine.)
I'm mid-silver tier, which is where most players with a sprouting talent end up until they get better at climbing. My only trouble here is that in bronze & silver, I see a lot of dodges, making it hard to have your desired roles in general...
Now, the real problem is that if you end up filling, you end up with bot lane stuff, like support and adc... We all know it's an essential lane. I think I'd rather have an extra wait time than a person that ended up being a role he has a weak ability at.
I think it's essential in ranked to have access to the roles you are best at to excel at your games.
Also for anyone wondering what made me decide to post this, I was autofilled adc, not my weakest role but I wasn't up to par with other people used to being with a partner, I'm a solo laner most the time.
