Autofill

PixelzGr·Sep 6, 2017·2 votes·516 views

What are the criteria or standards that a player needs to get autofilled?I just played a game and got autofilled sup.Ok whats the big problem then? I dont mind playing an autofilled role but when i am a 3 year jg main and have 70 %wr in jg rn ,i dont get why i need to play supp and the guy that plays jg in my game has 50 % wr and on a losing streak.Its like Riot is saying dodge when you get filled.I mean the guy inted and flamed his butt off while i could have done a better job as an jungler...

The news may not be pleasant, but there is absolutely no criteria or statistic in a player's game that will make them get the possibility to autofill them, unless they have played many roles except support, or have not chose fill as a choice. This is mainly done to prevent shortages of the support role. (Which unsurprisingly enough, is underrated for everyone's need and passion to carry.)

All I can tell you, is learn to play and enjoy support, and if you can't, that's not our problem. The system is balanced as it is, and riot will have no thoughts on changing it, especially due to the on-going praise for high KD Ratios and pentakills.

Just do Jg and secondary fill if you really can't deal with it.

I can play supp and i dont mind playing supp for 1 game,but why pick me as a supp while i have a better chances to carry the game in the jg ,but it picks random players to play the jg which are ten times worse than me, thats what i dont get why doesnt pick him to go supp since his wr is lower than everyone else.Its basically fucking us up and losing us the game and theres nothing i can do about it thats my problem.The guy that gets autofilled should be the one with the lowest wr and not by picking a paper with the name of 1 of them 5 players names out of a hat.

It's got nothing to do with win rate or any other statistics. The queue goes through a checklist. Do I have enough people queued for each role? No, okay, what role do I have a lot of people queued for? Jungler, okay, do any of these junglers have autofill protection on (played fill, played support, is in their promos, or been autofilled recently). Then pick randomly among possible candidates.

Why would it consider win rate as the most important stat anyway? It's a team game. Average KDA or Kill participation are much better stats to base personal skill level on if you really want to play that game. Anyway, the system we have is cold, it's calculating and that's a good thing because it doesn't punish people for having low stats.

Sorry - in a solo queue game, win rate is the most reliable stat on your skill. As for autofill, since - as many people have pointed out - 95% of all players dislike playing support, then the best way to remove autofill is to remove the support role because it's as clear as a blue sky that the support role is the problem. Why keep 5% of the players happy while making 95% of them unhappy?

How is win rate the most reliable stat to base your skill on as a solo player? As a team using win rate makes sense, but as a solo player, no way. How many games have you had totally useless people that get carried by the other 4. Win rate is not worthless but needs other stats to show that they EARNED that win rate.

Because it is a solo queue game and you have to manipulate the game to win. Only supports cannot really carry a game.
