Players are still trollpicking thanks to autofill

I have had several games where someone would get autofilled into support and intentionally choose a champion that loses the lane and tower under eight minutes and I was just wondering why riot has created autofill... not everyone actually knows how to support and some don't even know what a red trinket is especially in lower ranks. I personally don't mind supporting but I would rather wait ten or twenty minute queues with proper support players on both teams then playing an uneven one sided game where one team has an advantage because the support actually knows what he or she is doing.

That happens even when theres two "proper supports" in the bott lane..... All it takes is one having a better adc.... Or one having a more aggressive support... Etc.

Ive had games where there was an entire "troll team" and we still won. Often times won hard.

This whole thing about "autofill sucks cause theres always a troll support" and thus ALWAYS blaming it on the support, no matter what, all the time.......... When was the last time you saw a "autofill made a troll top" thread? Or mid? Or jung? Or adc? Ill wait.......

Note, bott lane has twice as many chances of the enemy being better than you. If even one of them is better than you..... It can easily be the cost of the lane at minimum. If both of them are better......... Well........ The results look grim.

People keep saying support is the easiest role. Yet "nobody plays it" yet i have carried from support role as Nami. Ive done it as Blitzcrank. Ive seen it done by Thresh. Ive seen it done by Soraka because nobody has a clue who to actually target and the Soraka is playing well. Ive seen it done pretty much just by Janna even..

Your not forced to do it every game, you just get to play a different role than your main role/s every so often...... If you have an issue with this in ranked...... Get smarter. Do Ranked when you have autofill protection.... And do a normal as Support/fill until you get it back.

Well, you can always queue as support and play properly. I can guarantee you will get it most of the time.

most people in the lower ELOs don't know what they are doing regardless of champs / position.

Off meta picks don't mean a whole lot in low ELOs when no body knows how to capitalize on the strengths and weakness.
