Get rid of Autofill

The fact that I am forced to play a role is completely ridiculous. Challenger players should have to wait for queue's. I'm silver. It's not fair that i am forced to play a role that i did not select.

True. League is regressing when it comes to Ranked Ques, yet again. All the autofill feature, is going to do, is triple the number of afks, trolls, and int feeds. I would be fine with this if Riot came up with a decent punishment system, but as it stands now, 20 slaps on the wrist later, these guys still continue to grief. Please Riot, listen to the community for once and stop gutting this game even further.

And I was playing during the blind pick era. It was chaos and horror. Sad that it seems Riot is starting to regress back toward it.

I'm guessing you weren't around when it was pick-order. Ranked isn't just how good you are at once lane, if you can't play all the lanes decently, then you don't deserve it.

I keep telling this. People think it's so bad to sometimes have to play a role they don't like, while in the past you had a 20% chance for every role.

BorkahnNov 27, 20165 votes

Ah but you both are missing the point. It's one thing to do pick order, which I was a part of. And a whole nother thing to participate in a system designed to get you one of two roles no matter the queue times, but then basically flip you the bird and give you a role you didn't queue for. What we are all saying is, why even give us the chance to put our top two roles if you are just going to give us whatever the hell you want? See the problem now?

lucifer, this is a completely ridiculous comment. almost everyone who plays the game has a main role they play that they are much better at than other roles. even the top tier challenger players have roles that they play 99% of the time. autofill would not be an issue if they had ranks based on specific roles. in other words, you could be silver support and platinum adc, gold mid and diamond top. if they separated the rankings by role i don't think people would have much issue with autofill.

no point of the new champ select since autofill was implemented

WonderlandsNov 24, 20161 votes

Actually, before you got your role 20% of the time. That's been boosted to 80% since new champ select.

Still think there's no point?

BorkahnNov 27, 20163 votes

perhaps that's your stats....but it isn't everyone else's

BorkahnNov 24, 20163 votes

Pretty much agree with him. too many games are becoming where people threaten to feed just because they were forced into a role they didn't select

Sona PingNov 24, 20162 votes

Which is the exact same reason why new champion select and choosing your role was introduced in the first place. That's nothing different.

Adaren21Nov 25, 20162 votes

Okay what no one seems to addressed is the fact that when the new matchmaking system was made. The longer queue times had already been dressed because i was a known trade off that selecting roles would increase the queue times. And guess what? People were FINE with it. It was a worthwhile trade off. So why do we even need this? I've talked to many people. Seen even more talk about it and I've really not seen anyone that thought it was needed cause just about everybody would rather wait a bit longer to get into what is much more likely to be a good game. I know if a perfect world everyone should be able to do all the roles but guess what that's never going to happen. So now there's even more reason for people to troll if they get auto filled into a position they hate or know they are bad at. There really is no actual upside to it. Cause i'd rather be in a 10 or even 20 minute queue then be rolling the dice on wasting a game

You are correct. We demanded riot removed solo and duel from flex que. As we where sick of a 5 man premade coming in and stomping all over our pug rank matches. Riot said they did not want to do this because it would make the que times long and we said. "WE DO NOT GIVE A DAMN ABOUT QUE TIMES." So riot did what we wanted at less we thought they did.

Sadly that added this stupid mechanic and fucked the game up. Now solo is just as bad if not as worse when it was with all the premades.

I agree. Get rid of autofill pls.

DaemonetteJan 2, 20172 votes

Riot autofill costing people games. Why is this still in the game. Are you trying to ruin the game? You talk about making the game more fun to play. You talk about remove toxic mechanics from the game. Yet you add in the most toxic mechanic thing in the game. I am sick of having 10 dodges before I am forced to dodge as autofill has ruined the game for me and many others.

ConsiquenceNov 15, 20182 votes

Its incredibly frustrating to be forced into a role you arent familiar with and basically automatically lose a game. Just because not as many people dont enjoy playing support does not mean you should ruin the fucking game for half the people playing it. If someone is autofilled to support that means bot lane will not win, and your team is playing essentially a 3v5. Give people the option to turn off auto fill and have higher queue times. Leave it in the game for those who do not mind but give the OPTION to turn it off. Is that to much to ask? Everyone would win more games and enjoy this game immensely more.

Autofill is when you queue up for ranked with 2 preferred roles and when you get to champ select the game puts you in a totally different role. It removes the purpose of picking your roles. They implemented this to reduce queue times but people don't care if they have to wait an extra 10min just so they don't have to play 20+ minutes of some champ/role they never even considered playing.

autofill is just disgusting. the fact that it's even still here is a mystery to me. i mean, it was made to help make Qs faster, but its literally done the OPPOSITE . i mean yes the wait time before youre grouped for champ select is faster i suppose, but EVERY other time you get grouped, someone just dodges (im sure for an autofill reason at least most the time) and then your back at Q again. in addidtion its not fair that i have to fill a role i didnt sign up for. i mean, i dont blame the people for dodging. if im about to play a game as support which im sure ill lose anyways ( and not have fun in regardless) then id rather just dodge and take the single digit lp loss. that's all autofill has done for me, force me to lose a few lp every few Qs, cool. yes you could argue that i should just learn to play a role that i dont normally play, but as ive said i dont think its fair that i should have to do that, nor want to do that. perhaps maybe disable autofill for everyone under plat?? i just feel the point for which it was made has even just backfired so its just all stupid now. but whatever.. good day =]

But it is fair because everyone has to deal with it.

It seems like you don't know what "fair" means.

BigSkinny87Jun 4, 20171 votes

I think that the moral of this is that riot no longer cares about the average player. This was created to make Q times faster for HIGH RANK PLAYERS. This is partially because, they want those players to be able to play more games and move up which i completely understand. This is also so they can hold more events and make more money. The concern isn't for the average gamer who wants to rank up. Its already pretty hard to rank up when you add a support or jungle who has no idea how to play the role and proceeds to die 10 times in the first ten minutes it makes much harder. Riot could easily make it to where auto fill is only active at a specific elo but hey wont because they no longer care about the rest of us. I watch all of these videos about the health of the client and I have yet to see anyone address auto fill. I'm not sure if any of this is what is really going on. It is just how it seems to me at this point i dont think that anything will be done or even said. That is just how i feel about it

im fine with being autofilled but when i want to play adc my support is 9 time out of 10 autofilled, and almost always an autofilled support will never know the position or will just suck at it( like its hard in the first place). im fine with autofill in norms but can we stop the autofill in ranked pls.

siilentdeathNov 15, 20181 votes

auto fill supports wreck games bottom line. they often say in bronze "i cant support please trade me out". then no one trades with them so they do some bullshit like Caitlyn and build adc and take farm, kills, and or both fromt he guy who wanted carry. they need an opt out option plain and simple. i was ok with 7-10 minute wait times for games pre autofill. i will play 4/5 roles. since they gutted taric and soraka as of the start of season 6 and made them not as good as they were. that made me give up support. old soraka was way better than new soraka. old taric way better than taric.
