So now you have fill even when you don't want fill...

I mean... What kind of limited logic is that? What is the point of the two selected roles when you can be basically assinged anything. And I like how it states mainly "at the highest tiers". I am Silver V, that's as low as it gets. So you create new system that "people prefer" while simultaneously there isn't enough people playing it for the second part of the system to work properly.

I don't play Ranked that usually because I hate DynaQ, usually I just jump in like now to test what has been changed and what has been not changed so like whatever. But If I get assigned roles I can't play like Jungle, which needs a lot of map awareness, relies on your teammates pushing/non-pushing, or Support, which requires someone with good patience and opportunity-awareness, I'm ruining the game for other 4 players. I started to play Ranked especially thanks to this role-select feature.

Can't you just admit you can't make the system work rather than try to fix car by removing its wheels? I get that Auto-Fill may be in this scenario third option and has the least preferance by the algorithm, but its pure existence there is against what the system is supposed to be.

You're talking about something that rarely happens and it's due to you choosing to play at a time where there is a very low number of people playing. Not worth complaining about and if you're that concerned, wait to play until Auto-Fill is back off as not having it on will achieve the same result, you will be waiting.

I said I can only play now and then full-Ranked-long game, so it's frustrating when it happens at that one time and just now, I got Support. Still we won and was doing quite well (as Vel'Koz tho), but that was more of work of good team since jungle was Amumu who knew when to use ult and top Shen got fed and my ulti at least held them back, plus Vel'koz, even with starting building into item 2301 has quite the damage. My ADC wasn't very excited I can't much play tank-support and I understood them.

im sorry you ended up in roles you are not good with but I don't think auto fill is busted or counterproductive.

its required in Order for the new champ select queues to be fast. At least auto fill gets turned off if your in promos or had recently filled

...turned off if you're in promos or had recently filled OR supported.

At least I get the message about being guaranteed one of my selected roles if I supported too.

I'm surprised support players don't get more perks to be honest. Those people are an endangered species compared to the other roles.

No one forces you to fill. You're free to pick any 2 roles you want.

Especially coming from someone in the silver pool

Did you read anything about what auto fill is?

It literally adds fill as a third option in addition to what you've already selected in attempt to make queue times faster.

So you can queue for Top and Jungle, and if auto fill is active you can get dropped into ADC instead.

It happens in High Elo all the time, and happens in lower elos when they're playing in off hours so there's a smaller pool to pull from.

Because odds are (especially at bronze through plat) you will get one of your primary roles. They figure 10 people would rather play with a 2 min wait than everyone waiting 10 mins just to make sure you get one of your roles.

Still got Support, so it was the fill. AND the same wait time as before thise feature.

What two roles did you have primary?

Velzard of Koz1 votes

Mid and Top, so yeah those most people pick, still I always used to have 3 mins queue times, now had 3 mins queue time too except for it threw me to support.

Well you could've dodged as soon as you saw you were support and waited the approximate wait time it would get for you to get your positions anyway. Which I get that it isn't the point, but still. They have as system if you play support or fill you won't get autofilled guarrenteed. Everyone has to do their support duties once in a while! Plus, playing support makes you a better adc and overall better at the game. You'll be a better player if open your skill range to all positions.

The only problem is that Support isn't as easy role as many think. The only reason i was doing well was because vel has giant base dmg so even though my most active item was the eye of the watcher and I was building tank, I was still relevant. Be I some other champ I die in 2 second while doing nothing in meantime and all i could do is some flashy-playz If I knew how to do it well.

I think you might just be playing wrong supports for your play style. If you want good ability plays while being tanky, I'd say invest in blitz crank. Vel koz has weak cc and being support you'll be behind in gold and xp, so it's not really that good. When you play support, don't think "how am I going to carry?", think "how am I going to help this adc carry?"

Velzard of Koz1 votes

Well Blitzcrank is mainly useful only If he lands the grab that's why I avoid him. I'd rather play Bard or Sona but again, I am not sure whether I'll be able to stun properly or heal to satisfy the needs of the ADC.

A little trick I learned is buy boots, then w and e and run for them and knock them up. Then when they use whatever escapes they have, get them with the pull.

Let me guess, you queued for mid/top?
