So Autofill is better than Dynamic Que??

Let me start this post off with stating that i have been playing League for years, and have seen it evolve many times since.

But of all of the evolutions, i seriously feel like Auto-Fill is the worst yet.

So let me explain what happened here:

  1. We had the old que system, solo/duo and team 5v5, it wasn't the best but it definitely wasnt the worst (auotlocking, calling lanes, remember?)

  2. Riot developed Dynamic que, which to me and many others was a godd-send. I loved it, Finally i could que ranked like normal and not have to worry about getting hammered on by another solo/duo or slammed by a 5 man. Also, i got the ability to finally state what role i wanted to play and what lane. And finally, Riot combined the two ques into one, drastically reducing que times and making the que experience much better.

  3. For some dumb reason that i really haven't been able to figure out yet, people complained about Dynamic que and cried "We miss solo/duo! we miss autolocks!" and so that brings us to where we are at now:

  4. Autofill. So since Riot brought back the old 2 seperate ques, where does that leave us? With the league population splitting between 2 different ques, which leads to- longer que times, and this lovely piece of crap called Auto-fill.

So now, when i que for jungle, top, or mid, i have to not only wait 2-8 minutes longer per que, i also now have about a 20-30% chance of being autofilled, thus getting a lane or role that i didn't even want to play. And this is supposed to be better? I don 't think so.

Riot, please re-think this system. I don't care about the having to wait nearly as much as i care about getting a lane or position that i don't even want to play.

Dynamic Queue != draft pick or role preference. Autofill didn't replace dynamic queue, Solo/duo and Flex replaced dynamic queue.

The thing people didn't like about dynamic queue was people could get ranks they didn't deserve by playing with high elo smurfs, and a lot of people felt 4 man premades were a problem.

Role selection with autofill still gets you your preferred roles a majority of the time compared to old queue types, so it's still better than what we had before in most seasons. Just not as good as what we had in season 6.
