Autofill is a functional and helpful system.

Oh wait.

This is the LoL community.

Can you spot the autofill?

Riot, if you're going to allow this to happen, at least give us a way to escape it. You fucking know this community. You know that it's infamous for trolling, toxic manchildren. You are giving them an excuse to throw a tantrum. And this is what happens. Four people with better shit to do with their time end up completely powerless because dodging penalizes you and leaving penalizes you. You are literally punishing the victims, Riot.

I don't care how it gets fixed. Something has to give. LoL has always had bullshit like this and I can deal with it when it's rare, but it's happening far too frequently now.

The victim is the autofilled player, you are collatoral damage.

This is the issue with autofill.

Who wins? Nobody. Everyone has a shit time and a boring stomp, the system does not work, the system WILL NEVER work, it is unworkable, garbage and needs to be removed if there is ANY chance I will EVER play League again.

Last League game I ever played, our morg 0/6 bot "i don't play support".

jg flaming me, morg doesn't care and is also flaming, realized that "hey, why am I playing this game again? Is this mean to be fun?" I was already tilted from getting autofilled or even knowing there was a chance of me getting autofilled as well.

And I waited until the end of the match and uninstalled. No enjoyment to be had with League in this state, what a sad sad sack of shit system this is, ruined the entire game and I likely will never play League again because of it.

It's not carrying if a teamate isn't doing bad. Try to carry some games. That's how you rise.

If this was just someone playing badly I could at least give them the credit for taking their role and trying. But this was absolutely someone pitching a fit over getting autofilled and deciding to feed. He was well aware of and vocal about what he was doing.

The real problem is that rito thinks their game is so badass that we'll sit here bored and having a terrible experience just to be in game. The second real problem is that half of people are so addicted to this game that they will. The third real problem is that auto-fill was made for excessive queue times and yet queue times are still basically the same. My solution is instead of autofill just call it autododge and instead of a champion select screen you get to see 3 lp drop from your rank in extra slow-motion while a 1000 degree knife slices your balls off. At that point might aswell just increase decay rate of rank.

See, I don't have a major issue with autofill. Largely because I don't mind playing support. If I get in a lobby and the supp asks to switch for top, I will usually do it. I add the condition they have to 'kick ass' just to try and get them pumped a bit.

Now, there is an unusual hiccup where the top gets autofilled and actually wants support instead. The point I'm trying to make; Be mindful and actually ask and talk to your team. Don't be afraid of trying 1 or 2 supports to play in the worst case. Take one of your mains and try them support in norms.

I still agree that auto-fill isn't any worse than people bitching about role calling.

0-16-5 doesn't necessarily mean bad, If they we're executed repeatedly while pushing objectives etc (thinking how proxy singed was played).

I hate auto fill and dodge every time.
