Autofil was created because riot lied as they always do.
They said they remove flex q if q times become unbearable.
But they want to keep flex q and so they gave us autofill in every game mode in every elo.
I bet a lot of people want to support, problem is the only way you cn support is by being the adcs bitch which is a problem from riots game design.
I just picked up dota and it surprised me that a hero/champ branded as "support" also has the abilities of "nuker and disabler". So they are leona and snydra at once and still a support. Because support there means someone who can help his team by dmg/utility but doesn't rely on gold income.
Ivern has been a step into the right direction imo.
Once we can take supps into the toplane or jungle more frequently people will play more support.
But the entire lol community is mentally bound to the "support=warding, shielding, healing-bitch" when support could also be "high damage threat with low gold incomes".
Exactly what zyra for example did in the support role or brand WHICH IS GREAT. So ican take a tank top and jungle without worrying about our damage once it gets to mid/lategame.
But people bitched about it because "supports shouldn't deal damage hurr durr" and riot nerfed them. It's a problem riot created when they made this game and it translated so hard into the community that if something new comes people bitch about it and riot is forced to nerf it.
