Has Riot made a public/permanent stance on Autofill in response to player base frustration?

I've been here since the old draft system where position of pick determined role calling. I didn't care noticeably enough to respond or care enough about Riot's stance on Autofill until their selfish and horrid implementation of positional matchmaking or whatever that role rank was.

Possible alternatives that could be placed : Solo/Duo queue that's strictly on chosen role (Not roles, just a singular role) with a predicted time indication. Predicted time indication shown for each role before selection. Periodic data of how many X players of Y roles have queued up in the past hour for each role to get the gist of what queue role is overfilled with. Old matchmaking system (Pretty much everyone gets autofill meaning strongly opposed by recent players and neutral to possible opposition by veteran players if they haven't left yet)
