Don't go "I'm autofilled, so I'm going to play Yasuo support, a champ I don't play on a role that I hate", and then proceed to feed two early kills to the enemy bot lane and die 11 times overall, and then proceed to act like the victim, saying that you tried your hardest that game.
Chermorg9 votesI agree with this - the key word is “politely” ask. If someone says “give me mid”? I won’t. If someone says “hey I don’t normally support can i have mid please”? They’ll get it from me every single time.
I’d much rather have a polite nice team with everyone in a preferred role than a team that’s pissed at each other because someone was toxic and/or someone didn’t want to give up their role.
That being said, I also don’t support people dodging for not getting their role - it’s childish and doesn’t help anything in my opinion.
Xonra2 votesI do appreciate people like you, but I think too many people EXPECT people to still give them the other role just because they are polite. Not saying that was your point. Just too often people "pretend to be polite", then if you say no, they get super annoyed that they had to be polite AND you said no.
Me personally, if I got my role, I'm playing it. If I wanted support, I'd have played it, or...I just got autofilled myself. It's good to be polite and ask, but I think people should just...suck it up in this case. We all get autofilled, you can't help it unless you main support (even then I've somehow gotten autofilled even putting support, so...who knows).
The dodging thing just annoys me, cause now multiple people's time is wasted, and all the dodging did was put them with a dodge penalty...and they are still autofilled so what's the point?
Chermorg1 votesThat's completely up to you. I personally only do it because I want the game to be happy. But you're certainly not bad for not wanting to give up your role.
And yeah, dodging is annoying lol.
KlydeFrog1 votesumm here is a solution get rid of autofill and bring back the ranked blind pick like it used to be....... no one likes to supp its boring, easy to play, boring , low impact, you get blamed for losing most of the time.....
Virtuality994 votesOr Or... have a champion pool that spans out to more than 1 lane. Most high elo players don't get there from one tricking a lane. (thought there are a select few) :3
Xonra1 votesOR play some normals to practice (god forbid :O) champs than can overlap. So if someone doesn't want to jungle, hey, now you have a few top laners who can maybe transition into jungle like say Mundo. Or Try out some mids in support (NOT Yasuo or Kat :S) like say, 
. Just sayin...Ori with 
is pretty legit.

support is pretty great when you max E first. Even if building support he's a ticking time bomb of an AP carry.

Well, it usually results in: learn support. Knowing how to ADC, jungle, mid, and top, while will improve your game knowledge, won't help with supporting.
Kei1433 voteswhile I hate yasuos, I've seen streams of 1 trick yasuo play support pretty well.
Don't hate the off-meta picks please.
OHminus1 votesThe thing about this yasuo was that he was overtly trolling. He stated in champ select that he doesn't play yasuo, and then cited his 20 percent winrate, saying that we might win (rofl). He picked a fight level 1, dived under the enemy tower, and then flash + exhausted before dying.
He also took 2 of my blue buffs
Miror B1 votesAnd people think that yasuo is OP in low elo. Little do they realize that barring the sheer number of counters he has (most assassins can snowball hard off him, with things like mordy being "fringe picks" that work ridiculously well at all phases), the person playing the character is itself a counter as many of them tend to tilt off the smallest of things.
Xonra1 votesWho thinks Yasuo is op in low elo? I beat him with Morg and I'm scrub tier. He isn't good in low elo.
Miror B1 votesHis high pick/ban rate in silver/bronze suggests that people think he's good, as otherwise they wouldn't be doing so.
StairCasexd1 votesI feel like it's a lot like teemo, people know yas is annoying to Lane against and there is some who just hate him but know he's not that great without getting ahead (also they might not realize that yas becomes pretty easy to Lane against after you've laned against him a bit) , like teemo, people know he's annoying to Lane against for a lot of people in the top Lane so they play him. Just my idea.
Miror B1 votesI can kinda see that being an option, as I know back in the day there were certain obscure characters I hated laning against (veigar being a big one if only because my cs'ing pattern was shite and I'd often stand in the same spot for tens of seconds just to try and last hit). Another tertiary option could be the fact that the community doesn't actively want their teammates to play him because of the "0-12" yasuo meme, much like how I'd actively ban ornn when he came out even when teammates were hovering him desperate to play him.
Kei1432 voteswhy do you think I hate yasuo players?
:P
Xonra1 votesSorry but I'm hating on it. If I'm playing adc, and some dude locks in Yasuo cause he doesn't main support, I'm having zero faith and I'm almost instantly on tilt. Just a fact. No one that isn't trying to be some trolly lawl streamer is gonna practice Yasuo support, and 99% of people who do it ARE trolling, or are gonna feed, try to steal cs, go too ham, and might as well had just afk'd.
Miror B3 votesThe trick is to learn and play characters who can fit multiple roles you don't play, so that if you do get autofilled you only have to learn maybe 1-2 extra characters instead of a bunch of different ones. It's a trick that I showed one of my buddies to do with morg/shen (he's an AD/JG player), and apparently his winrate is around 80% when autofilled compared to the 30 it was using his previous method.
Xonra1 votesExactly this.
I play Trundle top, I play a mean Trundle support. I play Ori mid, it works GREAT right now with as support. Mundo is actually a pretty decent jungler right now if you can get your accuracy on cleavers down for ganks. Hell Ezreal jungle right now...(though I wouldn't suggest it without lots of practice first, just an example).

- Ask politely for your main/secondary role
- If denied, either dodge or put up with it for a game.
Don't go "I'm autofilled, so I'm going to play Yasuo support, a champ I don't play on a role that I hate", and then proceed to feed two early kills to the enemy bot lane and die 11 times overall, and then proceed to act like the victim, saying that you tried your hardest that game.
you missed 3. rage like a child for the next 20-40 minutes about how riot has autofilled you 15 games in a row now, even though that is literally impossible
Rodder1 votesyou missed 3. rage like a child for the next 20-40 minutes about how riot has autofilled you 15 games in a row now, even though that is literally impossible
Thats AFAIK possible. You lose your autofill protection if someone skips, if i recall it right.
Disclaimer: I am sup main and never get autofilled, so i dont know it first hand.
xelaker1 votes"15 games in a row" it's called hyperbole man... you missed the point
OHminus1 votesBasically what the Yasuo did.
KlydeFrog1 votesumm its not i choose autofill and gee guess what i get supp 15times in a row....shocker
Celestial Lion122 votesor learn to play all roles so if you get autofilled you can play a role decently
there used to be an unspoken rule that unless you were comfortable with all 5 roles you didn't play ranked because with pick order odds are you had to play each one at some point
Xonra2 votesYeah, that's a dumb suggestion, sorry friend. Not everyone should "learn all roles", that's silly. You can learn 3 and be MORE than fine, especially if you suck it up and one of those is jungler or support (you are golden if 2 of those are those two). You can even be a "Carry player", learn top, mid, and support. Tada! You don't need to learn all 5, that's just silly, and you are going to have a garbo champ pool.
It was never an unspoken rule, it was just something jerks said that didn't want to do anything but Mid and said "naw not trading, if you can't play all 5 roles then don't play ranked", as they only played mid, but would say that to the guy getting stuck support as last pick.
Mandalorian 1172 votesI'm usually a nice guy. If someone else wants my position, I swap. If I get autofilled, I just pick a support I know, and just go with it.
Raiyza1 votesOr you know
...
Get rid of autofill.
OHminus1 votesMaybe in lower elos (bronze, silver, maybe gold), that could work. Starting Diamond+ getting rid of Autofill would just ruin queue times. In Dia1+ all the players AFAIK know each other and what positions they play. So if QT, Dom, Adrian, etc got placed in the same game (just listing a scenario here, doesn't have to be them specifically), and QT got autofilled top, Adrian would get top, whoever got AD would try to hand QT AD (unless he's an AD main himself), Dom would take jungle, etc.
Raiyza1 votesI'm fine with that. But for lower elo it is just ruining the entire climbing experience. You can't carry a player who has no idea how to support.
OHminus1 votesI actually haven't had a huge problem with autofill. Autofilled players, when they accept the fact they have to play the role they are assigned, usually are carry-able. Usually it's support, and playing a support like Janna/Nami isn't too hard. Even supports like Sona/Lulu/Karma are good for autofilled players.
Raiyza1 votesYou're lucky then. I'm an ADC main, and I get a ton of autofill's that have no clue how to peel or what to build properly. It's hilarious when they play thresh and they rarely use lantern. Hell, even if they play as simple as blitzcrank, they don't know how to actually position properly.
Xonra1 votesDodging doesn't actually accomplish anything, so I think that's honestly a terrible suggestion. You are still autofill activated, so what's the point? You'd just made people have to waste more time, you now have to waste your own time waiting longer for a Queue...
Just suck it up like everyone else has to. Asking is fine, but most times it is support still and few people are going to trade their main role for support (or they'd be playing support). Just play, pick a safe pick that isn't a hard champ to play, and don't whine.
OHminus2 votesThe point of dodging is a quick band aid solution just so whiny kids don't ruin the game for 4 other people.
Also, I'm a jungle main that doesn't mind playing support whenever someone asks nicely - i.e :"Hi, I'm autofilled. Can I have jungle/top? Would appreciate. Thanks". So asking for a trade is basically never a problem in my games.
Pumping Iron1 votesI played 3 seasons just toplane/jungle. Im diamond player top/jungle and my mid/adc/supp are silver level. I can still try my best and do garbage.
AJStarhiker1 votesI'm a support main. I can't remember the last time I got autofill w/o choosing it.
Travas1 votesI just say I am autofilled and play
KlydeFrog1 votesno one likes to supp ever....you think i enjoyed playing supp on my main accoutn for pretty much all of season 6 ? thanks for having the teambuilder ranked instead of the blind pick ranked liek it used to be..... supp is easy as fuck to play, boring as shyt to play, people will say its important.....umm no its not i cannot make the adc build right....gets a triple killl right off backs and buys beserker greaves.........yah
Myrkrvaldyr1 votesSupport is very important. You're still low elo, that must be why you don't see how important and game changing a good support can be. Watch pro matches, it doesn't have to be from tournaments, just see the games of top challenger players, watch the support closely and see how much they matter.
KlydeFrog1 votesumm its not and if you were right, pray tell why its the least desired role out of all the roles? Supp is the easiest role to play however your the teams bitchh and no matter what you do goes unoticed but God forbid something happens its 100% the supps fault for losing....and i cannot make the adc buy right....yah cool u get a triple and you back and buy beseker greaves and dorans....what is wrong with that picture. ohh yah supp is sooooooooo fun
Corcarmen1 votesI have a weird concern to bring up in regards to this.
I have recently been spamming ADC in ranked and often you get an autofilled support (which is fine). However, the amount of Teemo "supports" that I've been getting or other champions that provide nothing to the lane are quite large. It being ranked I would rather sacrifice 3lp and dodge to wait it out rather than waste 45 minutes and possibly lose a game due to the lack of CC from a: Garen/Teemo/Zed team comp...
That was until I got a dodge timer of 20 minutes for not wanting to put up with a Teemo support. Does anybody see this as an issue or is this just something that I should accept in order to not deal with that stuff every so often?
Myrkrvaldyr1 votesI strongly believe it should be mandatory to know how to play every role decently, that way, no one would complain about autofill.
