People not respecting roles in draft

Hey guys, wanted to talk about something that's been getting on my nerves a little in the past few days. Since I hate playing blind pick normals(especially on EUNE where 99.9% of players in blind pick are either ragers or trolls) I started only playing draft pick normals. But every single game, SOMEONE decides that, even though they've been assigned support or whatever, they will not play that role, or they'll pick a champ that absolutely cannot fulfill that role, like Yi support or something. I find this really annoying. The DRAFT system is the way it is now for a reason. And if you have to fill, it's just that one match, then you're free of fills for IDK how many hours or the whole day(don't know the exact timing). And I'm not talking about people who just ask if they can swap, but then leave you alone. I'm talking about the "mid or feed"-type people. What are your thoughts on this?

My thoughts are this: Riot does not care about this issue in anything outside of ranked. Hell, I don't think riot cares about player behavior outside of ranked games or specialty games based on my experiences.

I mostly play blind because I got tired of this very thing. Hell, I'm not playing ranked currently because most of the time I would get my intended roles, only to have someone steal it from me, intentionally feed (and not get punished) and cause us to lose.

I honestly hate it that this is the perceived stance that riot is taking on this issue.. Sure normals are supposed to be fun but if you queue up in normal draft as ADC/Jungle and get support or top, you learn that role as it's a fucking normal. stop ruining the game for the rest of us because you're a 12 year old salty Yasuo main and didn't get your role

On a related note.. Auto fill needs to be looked at. Getting auto filled after 2 dodges is not acceptable. Hell, in a ranked game a few weeks ago, I was auto filled protected, Bot/Mid and got support..

Lol I knew even before reading the post that support was the role.

I only play blind pick this season. Oddly enough i haven't had this problem happen at all, if anything people are like fill fairly often. From what i've gathered Jungle seems to be the least desirable lately and ofcourse like always mid is the most popular role specifically because the onslaught of constant ahri in the game.
