i just had a ranked game where my Caitlyn purposely inted and trolled my game. she was getting out ranged by Jhin
which i thought was kinda ridiculous cause i may be wrong but Jhin has somewhere between 525-560 AA range. (my guess from the top of my head) Caitlyn has like AA range of 600-680 so any person who knows math that means Caitlyn has somewhere between 60-100 range on him. so how is Jhin putting 3 autos in a row on Caitlyn. i let the player know that you have so much range on him to put space between each other and you win very easy. Caitlyn goes to get solo killed by the Jhin 3 times in 4 mins and starts building item 3147 into item 3142 .

players like that ruin the game and its not all her fault. having auto fill ruins ranked for the sole reason that it makes it that much more harder to win games. if one team has a autofill then the other team should have one too.

Unpopular opinion, but I don't think you should be playing ranked if you can't play all five roles to some extent.

I would just like to see a checkbox where you can check if you want to allow to be autofilled or not. If you do not check this box, your queue will be obviously longer, but at least YOU will not be autofilled.

It's so stupid when i play ranked and i get autofilled as jungle, when i never play jungle, if somebody does not dodge or swap with me, it's an instant lose for my team...

I don't think autofill was the problem here, it looks like your team lost to the better team. Look, I know this kind of thing is frustrating, but someone didn't "int and troll" because they made mistakes. Cait went 4/11 in that match, and you went 1/7. What's to stop her from saying that you inted and trolled also? Neither of you did - sometimes you lose games.

As someone who's been with this game from practically the beginning, queue times used to be very unhealthy before autofill was added. People won't play the game if it takes too long to get into a game, and that harms the bottom line.

Jhin has more movespeed than cait. Unless cait is real good with the orb walk, jhin can still gap close.

I agree about having the option to not be auto-filled. I don't like it when I get my secondary position let alone be auto-filled.

I am a support main so I don't get filled to often. I can play a few champs mid and jungle and if the few champs I do feel comfortable playing in those roles get banned, then I just dodge.

Much better to be out few minutes que time and a small LP penalty than to play a full match in a role that I am not the best at (that is the point of playing rank, to be the best) and have the team get mad and lose LP because I got auto-filled and under performed in the assigned role.

It does suck to be qued with someone who is autofilled and they completely suck at the role they were assigned to.
