People are abusing the autofill system.

Queue pops, you get your role, then a dodge happens. Queue pops again, you get your role, another dodge. Queue pops for a third time, you get autofill, aka support. Now of course, dodges don't happen anymore because they're not support, instead, you get punished for following the system, and not abusing it by not dodging. So, not only are you playing a role that you're not good at, don't care for, and hate playing, you're stuck playing it for 30 or so minutes because the system literally blows ass. This right here is why ranked isn't even competitive anymore, especially in low elo. I don't even understand why RIOT won't revert it how it was how ever long ago it was, where autofill only existed in Diamond+.

When 2+ dodges happen, most players restart the queue to avoid this. Otherwise, yeah, what you wrote in the OP happens.

Except when those people dodge, they get stuck temporarily banned from Queue, the amount of times increase until they have to wait 30-40 min to hope they don't get autofilled. And btw, Supp isn't the only role that gets Autofilled.

Queue pops, you get your role, then a dodge happens.

It's at this point that I leave the queue and re-enter it. It's a policy I have had since before Auto Fill, since there are those who would keep track and say "Someone in the last lobby selected <random champion>, and I'm likely to be matched with them again, so lets ban it".

So... yeah. The rest of the post is kinda meaningless with that policy in place.
