Anyone else noticing autofil is unhealthy?

Since autofill came out I've been noticing how unhealthy it is for the game.

I've noticed a DRASTIC increase on people dodging, making it take even longer to finally get into a game. (today I had 10 games dodged in a row with about a 2 minute wait time between each que, each person saying something along the lines of "fuck autofill")

I've noticed a lot more people being toxic in pre-game lobby because they're getting forced into a role they didn't want to play or a role they absolutely hate. I know I've been given ADC twice and dodged because I HATE the playstyle of an ADC.

I've noticed (for normal draft) que times are longer than before autofill came out because people are going to blind since they have a better shot at getting the role they want.

It's like autofill is like how queing support second was a while back; you're much more likely to get autofilled now then getting either of your selected roles.

I played 10 games in a row and 7 of those I got autofilled, no matter what my selected roles were (I even put jungle/support a couple games and I got top and bot for those games)

Once I even got into a game that all 5 of us had gotten autofilled into roles we didn't want, so we all swapped to the roles we wanted, it was actually pretty funny and we all had a chuckle.

I just played my first match today...

In Champion Select, the idiot on my team doesn't choose anything for the proper match-up bot lane vs heavy ranged comp, totally fucks me...

The game starts this person who is supposed to be playing support even though I went off meta starts attacking all the CS auto shoving them off the turret making me very useless early game luckily enough I just sat on turret getting behind and roaming instead of going 0-20 because of this jerk who has no understanding of how to play...

Meanwhile people argue at champion select, then take the argument into game making me have to /Mute all because all they do is threaten reports, and harassment is going to happen the entire game...

This is why Auto Fill is toxic because some players have no idea what they are doing.

And that just creates a huge negative experience in the game, and there is no perfect solution to this either other than matching players among those who play alike rather than someone who has no frigging idea what they are doing throws the lane early to the enemy team and argues because they don't know what the hell I am trying to do after they auto locked useless comp, and I don't got 1 hour to explain every little rune, stat and detail to someone ^_^.
