Didn't Riot say they were going to be more transparent with the community? Didn't they say they were going to communicate with us? Yet its been 2 months and we haven't heard a single word on the state of bot lane. As an ADC main, i can barely stand to play this game at this point. Its a complete and utter shit show in bot lane. 9/10 games I end up with an auto-filled support, which means my support has no clue what they're doing. Not to mention people who refuse to play support and take stuff like yasuo, aatrox, gp, etc into bot lane. Either that or they just flat out refuse to support, so they say they're going to steal someone elses role. Then there's the fact that bot lane is nothing more than a farm for free kills early in the game. You can only hope that its your jungler, instead of theirs that seems to live in the bottom lane. Auto-fill is the main issue here. And i dont understand why waiting 5-7 min for a higher quality game is so terrible. I would much rather wait 5-7 min in queue for a support that has a clue, rather than get into a game in 2 min with some reject auto-filled support that does nothing but feed. Its just really sad because i finally have a couple months where i dont have to work. I can actually sit and play a lot of league for the first time in a long time. But with the state of my preferred role/lane, its completely ruined it for me. Guess ill just go play Smite and prepare for season 4. I'll keep my eye on league to see if Riot ever says a word on the issue, but i won't hold my breath.

Botlane 2k17.

You push, you get ganked and die. You dont push, you get dived and die.

Wards nor towers will save you anymore. Plus, you dont decide shit in your lane, your lane is won/lost by jungler+mid (unless total retardation), you are.... irrelevant.

It's a total bummer, but ur totally right.

Riot could fix it with one simple thing, the choice to auto fill or not to auto fill. As in, check this box, if you wish for the chance to autofill for a lower queue time. However if you would rather wait for your preferred role, do not click the auto fill box. That fuckin simple.

Hopefully they will do this, because i am avoiding summoners completely because of this shit. I was so happy when they announced solo queue back, but then they put in auto fill and i'm just stuck here again like ARE YOU KIDDING ME. If not one thing, it's another with this damn company.
