Autofill is making me want to play less

I'm not great. But I finally felt confident enough to try ranked (again). (I thought, new solo rank, oooh, maybe I should give it a try again.) I qued up. I got my first pick, right away!

Then someone dodged... because they got autofilled into something they didn't feel confident in, and it's RANKED. I thought "OK, that's fine." Then the roles settle out again, and I'M SUPPORT, which I'm terrible at, AND IT'S RANKED! So, rather than die alot, and/or probably lose, (CAUSE I"M THE SUPPORT) and since no one wants to give up their role either I decide to dodge for all our sakes. I would be no challenge to the other team either.

Now you make me wait to get into a line THAT'S ALREADY "TOO EMPTY" Causing a need for more autofill Its occasional reduced wait does not outweigh the frustration of waiting for a team to "work out" And you disenfranchised me from Ranked, AGAIN...

Did you not play league of legends draft mode when EVERY SINGLE GAME was auto fill? The whining about auto fill isn't justified, just stop. Learn more roles. If you "can't play support" I don't trust you to play anything else neither.

Aren't they cute when they think Riot is afraid? :D

100% agreed, destroyed the game.

The biggest point I was trying to make, was not "i'm whiny" (though I am, lol, along with the rest of humanity) but that the "problem" they tried to fix with autofill (long que times) is a lateral move now that people are dodging roles that would otherwise likely LOSE THE GAME FOR THE WHOLE TEAM. 4v5 is never fair.

My second point was that trying to "do well by our fellow players" by NOT CAUSING a loss in a TEAM GAME that is RANKED and dodging instead, is then penalized with longer wait times and a possibility of a role you don't play well FOR EVERYONE.

I haven't played since they enabled it.
