Small, But I Think A Helpful Idea For Autofill

Xonra·Mar 2, 2017·4 votes·380 views

When someone on your team gets autofilled, is there any chance for a message, or a * or something by them in champ select, to let the team know "this person is autofilled". Would let the team know ahead of time to help them more, not force them into plays they might be uncomfortable with, maybe offer to switch.

Not everyone is the "complain complain" type, and will try regardless of the role they are put into. Sometimes you justget that "I'm gonna do my damndest" jungler, who goes 1/12, because, they just never jungle (or maybe actually never have), and don't know how to do a lot, going against a jungle main.

tl;dr Might be helpful to have a notice/message/something so people know that person is playing a role they might not have -wanted- to play, so help them out, or give people a chance to offer a switch.

I dount people will offer to switch but this is a good idea. Also can riot please make protection for switching in champ select

I personally would. I try to trade all the time when someone complains about getting "stuck" support. Had a jungler a few games back I didn't know was autofill and was all stressed about it (didn't say anything till half way through the game at like 0/6). I would have happily traded with them.

I think if it even increased like, 5% more of people willing to switch, that could realistically make a decent difference to start :)

much better idea. if you are on a chat ban or anything similar just make them play 10 games autofill with no reports. if they get a report than it restarts the 10 games.

That seems more like a punishment for their teammates. That is very much not a good idea. I don't want to play with some guy that is chat restricted and forced into autifil 10 games. They will be terrible and tilted.

if they are so toxic they get a chat ban or something similar why do you want to play with them anyways. People that toxic are gonna be the same whether auto filled or not.

I wouldn't want to play with them, that's the point. So why would making me have to play with someone that is on tilt from both chat restriction and forced 10 game auto fill be a good idea :P

Again that seems more like a punishment for me than them.

Not a bad idea. Got a thumbs-up from me.

Id'e rather just get to choose if i get auto-filled or not. Id'e personally like a longer queue rather then be forced into a role i was not intending to play.

Set aside all the " you need to know all lanes thing". I know all the lanes, i just prefer other ones, and i feel as though i should get to at least pick if i get put into one i don't want to play.

I'm fine with having to pick 2 roles, but i am not fine with being forced into something else xD, and league players don't tend to trade often.

Let's not even go into the freaking auto-filled auto lockers who lock something else in despite their auto-fill, good lord those are nice v.v

I'd rather choose to opt in/out of autofill as well, but I don't imagine Riot ever plans to allow that because I imagine most people would just opt out, understandably. I just try to think of ways to compromise, and while I doubt they would ever do what I suggested, doesn't stop me from trying.
