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.

this is a conversation had between me and a diamond player regarding autofill in another thread:

jaymc1130 (NA) - about an hour ago Every 5th game, regardless of what has been played recently, every player should be forced to support. Which is about the percentage of games it worked out to in the past in season's 1 and 2 where we had pick order and much superior lobby methods that were also more fair and more competitive.

As always the best players will ignore any "order" imposed on them as a group and simply put every player in the best position to succeed democratically and intelligently.

Some players these days are entirely too spoiled.

You should learn the game at its core level like you were forced to in the past.

It's better for you as a player.

It's better for the community overall.

MrFawknSunshine (NA) - about an hour ago i have made comments regarding auto fill and the hate its getting... people crying it cost them games

i argued that right now in the short term you might a lost an extra game or two due to it ( and it will happen to everyone ) but in the big picture of the game it will increase the over all game play by every one know more about other roles and how to play them and champs, match ups etc...

but everyone wants the insta gratification of winning now and think those 2 games is gonna be the difference of them being silver or plat when in all reality its not...

its being better at the game and the over all concepts of the game and the fundamentals of the game that will make people climb

While I believe that does have a good point to it, I believe the person who wrote this is a bit too close minded and harsh on people for this but I do agree.

I agree even tho we would have to wait a while for the games, the games would be better experiences because bot lane wont be decided by autofilled supps or not
