What needs to happen with autofill

Get rid of it. Its as simple as that. The game isn't fun anymore, and I've been playing for only 9 months. Do you, Riot Games, have any idea how much LP I have lost due to auto filled supports? People queue up for roles that they are good at because they want to climb, but when you force someone to play something they don't want to play, they get mad, and they troll. I just played a game with a singed support, and I couldn't do anything to the enemy twitch, and I counter the guy statistically. He wasn't even good, but he was fed, and league isn't a game of skill anymore, it is a game of how stupid is your team compared to the enemy team. Sadly, when you have an auto filled role, the other team is winning by default. It doesn't matter how well any of your team members play, if that auto fill feels like it, they could just int, and the game is lost. It is worse than having a player go afk because they are not only not playing to win, but they are aiding the team in gold and xp every death they give them. The worst part is that I got reported by my team because I was useless half of those games because my support had no idea what they were doing, or the just simply didn't care enough to even attempt to win a game. Riot should be encouraging their players to play the unplayed roles like support, not forcing them. Think about it, if you were forced to do something you don't like to do, do you put all of your effort into it? especially if it is only going to be like 21 LP at the end of it?

It's the trade-off you get for the preferred role feature. Without auto-fill, you're likely looking at upwards of +15min wait time.

if that auto fill feels like it, they could just int, and the game is lost. It is worse than having a player go afk because they are not only not playing to win, but they are aiding the team in gold and xp every death they give them.

Wouldn't this be true even if they didn't auto-fill?

Funny ... everyone complained about the long queue times ... then forced fill was introduced to reduce queue time .. now everyone complains about being auto.filled ...

counters don't really matter at low level play. If you have better game knowledge, you'll stomp the lane.

Sure your support singed may have something to do with loosing lane (especially if he ran into them looking to poison them), but if you have proper game knowledge and communication, you can solve that easily.

Let the player check mark the auto fill yes or no. If a no then they have long Q times and will never be put in to a game with an auto fill player or be autofilled that is up to the player to pick. Q time vs Auto fill.

You must choose. But choose wisely, for as the true Grail will bring you life, the false Grail will take it from you.
