Give supports more lp (postmortem on autofill)
Dearly Beloved, We are gathered here to remember the short and unhappy life led by someone we were all just getting to know, little autofill. Autofill was never very popular in life, but he did have admirable goals. All autofill wanted to do was to make a broken system right again. He came in the long line of support buffs, all past failed attempts to make everyone want to queue for every role. What a utopia that would be?
this is the eulogy I wish I could give... unfortunately this little gremlin is here to stay for now. But here are some creative alternatives to forcing players to assume roles for which they have not prepared and not own champions:
Give out more lp to players who win in the least desired roles Do that cool trick where you unbalance the teams and give the players filling into least desired roles an unfair odds of winning make the least desired roles more fun make only 1 queue for ranked (yes I understand the math that this wouldn't solve the issue) remove autofill for the lower tiers of ranked where players just need to perfect their roles and queue times aren't actually that bad Give special bonus loot to players who choose least desired roles give free chromas to players for every 100-500 games played as least desired roles give people a nice banner for playing least desired role give people a invite notification as a "Great filler" etc
Just let me play the roles I want in Lol also skins for summoners rift???
