New autofil

Hello,

I barely play ranked anymore, but I usually play a few games each season when I get bored. I just played three games in a row, and I got autofilled in every one, two games on bot lane and one as support.

There were also several dodges in each lobby, and I essentially never got to play the roles I actually queued for. I queue Mid/Top, so getting autofilled three games in a row feels absolutely ridiculous.

Is this normal now? I find it pretty insane that Riot would prioritize the preferences of a small number of high-level/pro players over the experience of the wider player base. This system feels like it's designed around complaints from a handful of top players about autofill, while the average player is the one who ends up suffering for it.

I genuinely don't understand how this is supposed to be considered a better system.
