Seriously Riot. I don't want to be autofilled after 2 minutes of queue time. I CAN WAIT TO PLAY MY ROLE YOU BASTARDS. NO I DON'T WANT TO PLAY SUPPORT AFTER 2 MINUTES OF WAITING. I WAITED 30 MINUTES TO PLAY A GAME ONCE, I THINK I CAN FREAKING WAIT.
KEEP YOUR AUTOFILL DICK IN YOUR PANTS GUYS! [zombie-brand-facepalm]
Edit: I am mostly joking. Please don't take me completely seriously jeez. Where is the exclude role feature though Riot? Where did that go.
K, stop screaming. Nobody likes autofill, but rage posts like this aren't going to do anything. It's a part of the game, and until Riot decides to remove it, which I honestly do hope they do or to make it a better system, you need to respect it.
A better system would be that, when a group is found that has you autofilled, it pops up a check on everyone who got autofilled before it pops up on everyone else. The people who got autofilled have the option to decline right there at no penalty or to play the game. Me? I pick fill from time to time, when I don't know what to play. I typically play Taric if picking fill puts me in support because Taric is fun and broken. I know every role and, while I do dislike autofill sometimes, I never complain about it. Because I know every role and don't care where I go.
I honestly think this is the way autofill should work though.
Yes, you're willing to wait longer to play your role. However maybe your 4 allies have already waited 15 minutes for their role (exaggerating here but let's see the point out). Now, what's more fair? You queue and get put in to your preferred role instantly, while someone who's waited 15min gets filled? Or you queue and get filled instantly (but don't have to wait in a queue) and the guys who waited 15min get their preferred roles (that they waited for).
The way I look at it - it was just your turn. A fill was needed and you were due to be filled, and so once you queued up it figured "why make this guy wait he's getting filled anyways. We have 173 games that just need a support right now, we're getting all other roles queued for at a rate of 20 per minute, and we're only seeing new supports at a rate of 10 per 45 seconds. It's only getting worse, let's get 4 people in to a game and let this guy spend 25 min playing as support instead of 15 min waiting in queue. Then he'll get what he wants next game and someone else will get filled with a short queue."
You know what sucks? Waiting in queue for 10min then getting autofilled. Or waiting in queue for 5min, in champ select with preferred role for 4min, getting dodged, in queue for 2 min, in champ select with preferred role again for 4min, dodged again, in queue for 2 min, in champ select with preferred role again for 4min, dodged again, in queue for 20 sec, filled. Yea - that sucks. Getting filled quickly when you queue up? Not so bad in comparison. Honestly, I wish that was how it works more often (also wish everyone would just take their turn when filled instead of dodging). Although autofill warning doesn't help - with the warning always up it's meaningless. If they'd actually let there not be autofill at certain times then maybe the guys who really don't want to fill and dodge out of it would just queue at the times it wasn't active...
