Autofill is ruining your queue times and people are behaving idioticly because of it, especially in draft mode, i dont play ranked yet. Autofill is not resulting into lower queue times, it is resulting into games that get trolled, picks that are not supporting the gameplay and ruining the match for 9 people because that one dude got autofilled to support.

Autofill is resulting into: -People behave badly. (go troll, take troll picks, start game->feed couple times-> go afk) -Match quality greatly suffers because people play off position and get trolled because they are not very good off position. -Queue time longer, because so many quits before match start. -Queue time longer because people rather play aram than draft if autofill is enabled. -Individual player frustration (4 drafts straight i got my main position, all of those stopped before start, then autofilled to off position=not fun) -Flaming, blaming and verbal abuse increase.

I've been playing 2 months now, and i seriously think that im not gonna solo queue anymore and start to play exclusively ARAM, i have friend who mains support, so playing with him is the only way I can enjoy draft.

Please Riot, i can understand autofill in high ELO but in draft this is just not acceptable. Autofill creates more problems than it solves, you have to see that. and reading the data you have is not the reality necessarily.

I hate auto fill, but perhaps this is why so many incompetent junglers throw games off lately and have no idea what they are doing???

I Don't mind the wait, but players who use Auto Fill and troll needs to be dealt with, I don't mean going off meta, but I mean actually trolling such as refusing to fill role.

I agree, let's put people back to season 5 champion select, where it doesn't matter what you call, as the first person to select a champ gets to decide his role, and the others simply have to choose one from the ones not taken yet!
