Abolish mandatory Autofill

jagerXgaren··2 votes·425 views

Imagine you're a really good top laner, or mid laner, or ADC , support, jungle main. ETC.

Imagine your favorite game gives you the option to choose between what playstyle you want to enjoy.

Then imagine their stupid automated mechanics FORCE you to into a roll that YOU AREN'T EXPERIENCED IN.

THEN imagine you're BANNED FROM PLAYING THEIR GAME because you were FORCED into a position you CLEARLY DID NOT WANT TO PLAY.

GET RID OF AUTOFILL RIOT. IT'S RUINING YOUR ONLY GAME.

WE DON'T CARE ABOUT WAIT TIMES IF WE GET TO PLAY THE LANE WE ASKED TO PLAY IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GET RID OF YOUR GARBAGE AUTO BAN BULLSHIT THAT IS LITERALLY KILLING YOUR ONLY SUCCESSFUL GAME YOU'EVE EVER DEVELOPED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MANY OF US WOULD PREFER LONG QUEUE TIMES THAN BE FORCED INTO A LANE WE AREN'T GOOD AT.

WHY DO YOU INSIST ON TAKING A HUGE ADVANTAGE OF YOUR IP AND MAKING INTO A PUNISHMENT SYSTEM????????????????????????????????

Riot went from being incredibly popular to insanely dislike SOLELY because of their AUTOFILL SYSTEM*

RIP RIOT GAMES YOU FUCKED UP SO BAD THAT YOU MADE ANY E-SPORTS SPONSOR AVOID YOU LIKE A PLAGUE. GOOD JOB

I have played quite a few draft games, both normal and ranked, this season, and I have been autofilled once. It was to support, which is a role I'm competent at.

It is not a huge problem. In fact, I don't see it as a problem at all, I think it is an important system to make queue times acceptable.

EDIT: By the way, I generally queue top/mid, but I change it up if I'm in a premade.

i'd rather long queue times than be forced into role i cannot play, it's begging for a loss

You won't. Maybe it won't be as bad on NA given the population size, here in OCE when we didn't have Autofill, you could literally finish a movie before you were even drafted into a match. It was that bad.

Even on NA, the draft time would increase by several minutes if not more, and that will snowball as people grew less and less patient to wait for queues and it would just become bad.

So no, I don't think.

When teambuilder was active, queuing for mid or top often meant a +15min queue time. It could easily be worse on Ranked since people are much more focused on winning and the belief that support being a role with little influence on the match is prevalent.

Not everyone wants to wait an additional 15 (or more) minutes just to get into the lobby. Autofill is not going to apply to you every match.

Don't play draft pick if you can't play all roles. Even more so, don't play ranked if you can't play all roles. It's begging to be autofilled into a role you can't play.

Seriously, stop asking for the system to revolve around you when the majority of players are ok with the system the way it is.

See, I find this extremely unlikely. All the rambling and caps-lock breaking aside, I have a feeling the following is more accurate:

THEN imagine you're BANNED FROM PLAYING THEIR GAME because you TROLLED AND INTED because you were FORCED into a position you CLEARLY DID NOT WANT TO PLAY.

Or, something along those lines - basically, you can't use autofill tilting you to excuse your bad behavior. If you got banned, it's because you decided you wanted to throw a fit instead of just play the role you were given and move on to play 3-5 more games without autofill.

Autofill should be fine for norms, because nothing is at stake, but should definitely be removed from ranked.

I can't really understand your arguments because you tried to hard to make them funny. Please edit so I can understand, thanks.

I can't imagine that because I have never been filled in ranked. You shouldn't have listed support. Support mains don't know what autofill is.

Imagine being a mid lane main before teambuilder. And someone else says mid first.

I think what is even worse is getting autofilled and having someone who is not competent in your role just play very poorly and make the game more difficult than it needs to be. This is why i think autofill should be disabled. It is very frustrating and I find myself getting autofilled every 5 games or so which seems far too often
