Opt-in to Longer Queue Time for Specific Role

I understand that the reason auto-fill exists is to fill faster games, but in the process of filling these games, there is a necessary hit to quality of game play. In many matches, the outcome of the game can be easily predicted by simply using tools like op.gg to see which team has the most out-of-place members.

Even worse is that a smart opposing jungle can use these tools to target specific lanes and push their lead further.

I'd much prefer a 15 minute queue to get my desired role than a 2 minute queue into a game where I am a handicap to my team and have a significant disadvantage.

EDIT: Just queued up as Support/Jungle and got the following: Jungle(me) who mains Support. Support who mains Top. Top who mains Mid. Mid who mains ADC. ADC who mains Jungle.

Why not just match everyone to their primary role?

15 minute que time for a 35-45 minute long match. No, no you are not okay with that. I know you think you are but you wo8ldnt be. And luckily people like you dont actually have a say in what happens.

Auto fill is not going anywhere, get over it already.

Opting into the longer queue time would need to exclude you from being matched with those who are OK being Auto Filled, since you'd be forcing them to be Auto Filled more often. Good luck finding Support Mains with such a system.
