I like playing Nami when filled support. Sure she's not as simple as the ones you listed, but the thing about Nami is that she's an enchanter that plays a lot like a mage, meaning my mid-lane mechanics transfer well while still being very much a supportive enchanter and not a kill stealing carry support.

[@Crumbdumpster27]

As a Nami main, I was surprised she wasn’t even mentioned. She has nearly everything in her kit: aoe hard cc, heals, buffs, and a respectable amount of damage. Has anyone ever been mad when the Support picks Nami?

[@Nuclearburrit0]

@J R my favorite part about her is how her ultimate is such an amazing engage tool, letting you be way more aggressive compared to most other enchanters. And unlike Renata (who tbf I also like) it doesn't move at a snail's pace so it's more plausible to land.

[@vulpex4105]

There's nothing complicated about Nami

[@Nuclearburrit0]

@Vulpex I didn't say she was complicated. Less simple then some of the simplest champions is still pretty simple.

[@Mach20Octopus]

autofilled enchanters = 0/10

[@Genashi1991]

I wouldn't mind a video about choosing a main lane. There are so many interesting champions all over the place and pros and cons to each position, so I find it hard to decide. If I had to say it's support and jungle for me (except jungle tends to be filled with extra flame if I don't do well enough).

[@georghenschen4686]

Jungle is the one for me, I love the freedom and map pressure you get from playing that role Case in point, I'm a diamond jungler but I have a hard time getting out of gold on every other role, game knowledge issue

[@GubbiGap]

@@georghenschen4686 That sounds very interesting to me because I always thought junglers thrived on game knowledge such as matchups and whatnot :O

[@GubbiGap]

Usually what I do is I think about what I like to do in a game. I gravitated towards the support role for many years because I liked the idea of helping out someone else and as I tried more and more champions I found out I really love playing Thresh. I started out with Soraka then played Sona then Tahm Kench and lastly Thresh who I then one-tricked for 3 years. Now I play midlane because I started to tilt over my mistakes on Thresh and needed to swap role to get out of that mindset. I swapped to mid because way back when I started playing Azir was one of the first champions I bought but I quickly found out I was bad at him and shelfed him. I started playing Annie to learn mid but tilted because I couldn't figure her out for some reason despite her being easy to play so one day I picked Cassiopeia out of salt and fell in love with the champion. Now she's my main and I play other champions including Azir on the side although I will admit my Azir still isn't great and none of my champions are on the same level as my Cassiopeia.

[@georghenschen4686]

@@GubbiGap Unfortunately, jungle mains have a notorious lack of game knowledge because the skills you need to play that role is unique and doesn't transfer to other roles. For example, even though my rank is diamond, I will almost always lose to a gold Riven one trick in lane since you need a completely different skillset to play top lane

[@escape0707]

​@@georghenschen4686Top lane is sweaty as fuck and the worst of that is you have to know exactly what kind of a play against the enemy champion you will have forehand to not make huge mistakes and feed up a Camille or Jax that can 1v5.

[@imagine6705]

Just pick Pantheon. That’s it.

[@alpewenn]

i would recommend lulu over janna actually. Janna can easily lose teamfights because of her ultimate. I dont think that her ultimate is easy enough to use properly. As a shield bot, shes not better than lulu. Lulus mechanics are way easier than janna imo. Only thing hard about lulu is her w target selection (enemy or ally). I think thats way easier than cancelling enemy dashes.

[@sonang2910]

I think Janna is easier to pick up and play. Lulu has such low range, this is especially hard when you play others role who are not trying to stay as close teammates.

[@alexhaupt2134]

Janna's ult is SO easy to fuck up. Knocking enemies away before your allies can kill them, mispositioning it and getting killed while you're channeling the heal (or having your allies walk out of it), or even knocking enemies INTO your allies and giving a free kill. Not to mention the fact a heal-over-time is easy to just misuse if you don't time it properly to get all of it onto your team. With Lulu, you can use her ult to save someone last minute or put it on your melee carry and watch them destroy the enemy team for free; both are very easy. Ult aside, Janna's lane pattern is also a bit tough; playing AGGRESSIVELY around her shield to take advantage of the AD bonus is hard to do, especially uncoordinated. I find Janna just more comfortable to play, though! I felt that way even when I had next to no experience on both. It's hard to put into words.

[@williamedwards4151]

I think it should just be good practice to play all roles in some capacity. Just to have basic knowledge of how that role performs. Not just because you might be auto-filled but because it can give you valuable knowledge of what everyone else will be doing. Maybe not run straight into a ranked match, but just sneak into a Normal at some point and mess around in the jungle or play support. It can only help you get better at the game.

[@sno9092]

old league forced you to choose your role based on pick order ( so if first pick wanted mid no one could play mid )

[@gingerdude3666]

Masters support player who loves playmakers (Pyke, Bard, Rakan) and I totally agree with choosing simple champions when autofilled. My off-role is jungle since both roles are both focused a lot on roaming and map control, so there's a decent knowledge transfer. I've found Sejuani and Hecarim to be really good options, since they give a lot of agency about when to engage while allowing you to focus on decisionmaking over mechanics (similar to Amumu). Tip for autofilled support players: if it isn't terrible with your team comp, play whatever type of character you're most comfortable with. If you main adc, pick Senna. If you main vanguards, pick Nautilus or Leona. If you main assassins, pick Bard or Pyke (you can't usually one-shot them, but assassins and catchers ultimately have a similar job: identify and punish vulnerable targets). It won't be the same, but you'll at least be able to use some of your pre-existing knowledge! Support is one of the most diverse roles in the game, so take advantage of it! Counterpicks won't work if you don't know how to play the role OR the champion, so just try to stick with what's most familiar.

[@EruCoolGuy]

imo "playmaking champion" apply a lot more to Thresh or Nautilus than Pyke. I used to play Thresh supp by the way

[@gingerdude3666]

@@EruCoolGuy I also play Thresh and Nautilus, and I agree they're playmaking champions too - I didn't mean to exclude them, I was just listing my most-played. I find Nautilus to be the easiest of the hook champions since the hitbox is so generous and it's hard to punish him for mispositioning, because of his terrain pull + insane durability. Pyke and Thresh are both very high skill ceiling, but I like the mindgames around when you release the Pyke hook, and I also prefer the playmaking potential of Pyke's E and R to Thresh.

[@EruCoolGuy]

​@@gingerdude3666 yeah, kinda get the point. Pyke ult is completely broken.

[@oyohoyoh1494]

​@@gingerdude3666 May I ask some question related to support and Pyke? If my ADC aren't doing so well, what should I do? Also about Pyke, how do you play him on late game? I feel like Pyke fell haaaaard on late game.

[@gingerdude3666]

@@oyohoyoh1494 This is a gross oversimplification, but if your ADC sucks, try to look for roams around the map. I'd recommend watching high-level supports or guides to see what they do, since it's far too much information to cram into a YT comment.​ Pyke does suck late game, he has tons of tools to end the game early: if you can't end before late, you've already messed up. However, there are some things you can do: -Target your hooks carefully: hooking a Jinx into your team is usually great, but think twice before pulling a Maoki straight into your backline. -Set up picks before a teamfight starts. Your Q and E are very good at punishing enemies who are alone or out of position. If necessary, you can E and then use R to close the gap, then Q them into your team while they're stunned. Using R like this is more optimal late than early, because your R is a lot less useful lategame (the gold becomes useless, killing via R becomes harder because of GA/zhonyas, etc) -Pyke is better at skirmishes than front-to-back teamfights in 99% of comps, so playing around a splitpush is often the optimal play. However, I don't recommend this at low ELO, because teams are never coordinated enough to play around it properly. -During fights, take advantage of the chaos to land an E or Q on a priority target, and be patient with R if you want to use it as an execute - try to wait for enemies to use their heals and dashes before using it. -It can be smart to apply pressure via approaching from an unusual angle in fights, similar to Rakan: for example, you can get behind the enemy team and close off their exit through a chokepoint. This is risky, but champions like Pyke and Rakan can get away with it via good use of their mobility. Hope this helps, good luck with your climb!

How about a video on champs that fit in multiple lanes/roles? For example Pantheon works mid, support, top, jungle. Amumu can be played jungle or support. So on - helpful for a newbie to learn just one character's micro and be able to play multiple roles with a familiar champion

[@FutayuriShironeko]

Autofill is an excuse to manipulate win rates to keep them as close as possible to 50%. I had 3 lobbies with 3 autofills, with their main role being filled by another autofill. My mid autofill was adc main, adc autofill was support main and support was mid main. Luckily they asked if role was available and juggle each other out during ban phase. However i find stuff like this unacceptable, since their excuse is queue time, but then stuff like this example happens.

[@dominicguye8058]

wow that is absurd

[@caryymytank8300]

As a Leona main, I agree with you. While I do feel that Leona has a low skill floor, she does have 1 rule when it comes to her engages. Flash or Die. No inbetween. If you go in, you either win amd survive or you burn a flash to escape or you die so the carry can live. Only those rules.

[@Underworlder5]

i feel like leona is one of those champions who can only do one thing, but does that one thing really well. in her case, it would be single target lockdown

[@younameitxd13]

Really like the ones you picked out and for those same reasons.. I main support, so whenever I get my secondary, which is mid, I play malazhar.. But it's really nice to know which jgl and top lane to pick when I get autofillee xD

[@camthorn2088]

I’d say Seraphine is one of the best picks if autofilled in bot. Her wave clear is really good, she’s simple to play and she ends up doing a lot of damage. Even if you can’t do damage on her, her ultimate is insanely powerful. You can lane ridiculously safely with her and her utility is crazy

[@MrReaperHand]

A solution that should be taken into consideration is a players role diversity. What I mean is the autofill system should pick for a filled role the player that has played that role most, outside autofilling (which the system DOES already keep track of). This would mean the most experienced player gets that role. This is after autofill protection and ignoring players not overlapping roles. So if you have 5 players with two taking jng and none taking support the one most experince out of those two would be filled into that position. I hate autofill, I know what the intention is but from everything I have seen the majority of the player base hates it. The issue is the declaration of roles prior to queueing in means that some roles are not equally selected. This is not exclusive to MOBAs or any multi-player online game. I remember many MMO times where I was not able to go in a dungeon because DPS was overwhelmingly filled and tanks or healers not. This is just how it is. In Rifts (back in the release years) as rogue you were never allowed in because the rogue class did everything and thus people were sick of the class. As said in this video, most people would rather wait for what they want then have an under performer. I would agree mostly to that, but compromises need to be made. Right now it is NOT a middle ground. It doesn't fix the problem but put a bandaid on it. The real issue is skill level in roles and value. Roles that do not shine and allow massive skill expression are not picked because not flashy, or roles that are far more complex to play are also ignored. What should be done is getting better treatment to the value of each roles position on the map. The other thing is the ability to pick any champion in any roll, which leads to many issues. It must be preserved, but in many ways this is something from the past where there was no meta. There was no roles, just champs vs. Champs. Hell, there wasn't even a dedicated jng position back then. I remember when people started playing dedicated jng and they were mocked. Now it is a thing and duo top is mocked. The game has changed, and much of it is better. However, there is still hold overs of systems that are very much dated and now causing problems when combined with modern LoL. Things still need to be updated and it will take time.

[@coachmystogan]

He's new but Milio might be worth suggesting for support now.

[@zoom0244]

I don't think Jhin is a good autofill adc. He has 2 hard to hit skillshots and his E needs a lot of planning to use to its fullest potential. I agree Ashe is good option but I think Tris much better if you have a good support. With Tris you just need to press WE and you get a kill every time as long as they don't have exhaust. And if someone engages on you, you can just away or ult them away. And she has very good wave clear as well as jungle clear so she farms super easy to get even stronger. With Ashe on the other hand you need to be very good at spacing to be able to trade in lane, and in midgame you need good kitting as well as very good threat assessment and positioning if the enemy team has engage/assassins. So even though Ashe has so much utility as ADC she still needs to be able to do dmg, and doing dmg on Ashe is hard a lot of time.

[@Arob4343]

I agree with your main picks. But heavily disagree with some of the mentions. I would say jungle is my main role, but even I tend to feel useless on Fiddlesticks. Always feels like a “boss when unlocked as playable” meme. Amumu on the other hand, is very good for auto fill. He has a super simple clear, Q is intuitive and can be used for engages or wall hops, and he has one of the best and most straightforward ults in the game

[@dr.aalnajery3328]

Really curious why you didn’t mention miss fortune in the AD carry role, she is one of the easiest AD carries

[@Auri-u6q]

And even easier than ashe. Mfs W makes it really easy for her to get away, and she's less kiting reliant

[@jaishkhan7442]

Also Senna is pretty easy as well

[@falsegood5696]

Pretty much agree though I would add a couple champs. - First is mundo. You really can’t go too wrong with mundo. He’s very safe like malphite, but he sacrifices engage for sustain. Only situation I’d avoid picking him in is against high DPS comps. - Second is Warwick. Just build sunfire jacksho and ult a priority target. Similar to malz, its just really hard to be bad at him. - Third and finally ( skipping mid and adc) is Senna. She’s got everything you could really want from something autofill. Yes you may be more damage to your team, but the real important thing here is laning phase and late game; both of which are really easy on senna. Just play back and auto attack and you’ll probably be fine.

[@Playmaker150]

Galio mid could be considered a good autofill mid pick (I main him currently). Just push and roam or invade with Jungler/Support. His supportive kit gets more value the higher elo you and current meta JG/Support champs synergizes with him quite well. Most of his bad matchups can be ignored with his Q waveclear+Minion Demat and D-Ring start. He does good cc burst dmg and can always opt for more high AP high magic pen dmg carry builds if he gets fed or has allies with setup for his R.

[@simedinson984]

yea liss galio are my go to autofilled midlaners due to thier easy lane and team fight impact/roaming

[@KraneJams]

I recommend Janna Over Soraka because it's a lot easier to pressure or peel with her than it is Soraka. You can make picks with your q and have great roaming potency bc of her w move speed, but you can also peel for your carry with her q, e, and ultimate. And as long as she can peel long enough with everything in her kit to keep someone alive it doesn't matter if she dies in a teamfight. Soraka on the other hand is much harder because of how she needs to be alive the entire fight to help her team. If she gets caught out or focused she cant use her w or q which means she's useless. She needs to be able to poke reliably in poke matchupd with her q or else her lane loses. If you're in risk of getting focused on I recommend going celerity and nimbus cloak with heal and shurelya. This makes you really fast and allows you to kite in teamfights when needed. but in safer fights when you're not at risk of getting engaged on moonstone will always be better.

[@gabriellevoelker8980]

I think you're right. Even though Janna does have higher skill expressions compared to most enchanters (bar Renata/Rakan), she has a relatively low skill floor because she's THE defensive enchanter and will be the champ one is least likely to feed on if played passively. Warding with her is relatively safe with Q, and unlike Soraka/Sona where positioning is key to survival, her rookie positioning mistakes are less easily punished by the enemy team.

[@lokir2809]

i dont agree and there is one reason. heal is much more consistent and easier to use than shield, when u heal u make use 100% out of it, when u shield it can disappear and value goes awy with cd and potential dmg blocking value so u have to time shields properly when dmg comes, no when your ally needs hp.

[@Mach20Octopus]

0/12 using janna first time,would pick a blitzcrank instead

[@monadoboy9639]

id bet my mothers lego collection is a sentence i thought id never hear lmao

[@joranvanolphen9892]

Its also a question about what champions have you played before. If you are top or mid laner you might get more done with pantheon support if you played said champion before. Karma top isn’t the most meta pick but if you have experience with her in either the support role or mid lane it might be a better pick than darius or malphite. Most midlaners know what a lux or xerath can do so playing them as support can be the right call. I think its always smart to pick a champ that is viable in multiple roles and at least know what they do. Swain, lux, karma, morgana, malphite, pantheon, karthus. Even though it might not be the most meta in general. It might be the mfta. Most familiar tactic available.

[@zoom0244]

Funny enough I just played vs autofilled Malz mid right before watching this video. I was playing Talon. I solo killed him lv2 and then made his team ff by roaming everywhere while he was "playing safe". Something I shouldn't be able to do vs a good Malzahar.

[@Mach20Octopus]

champs on this list when i try out them first time in normals 0/10,but trying out more difficult champs often have better results(at least decent)

[@TheMrMcCrazy]

as a tank player my autofill picks are usually: top Malphite, jgl Taric/Skarner, mid Galio, adc dodge, supp Taric (main)

[@gumbarius]

Another thing is to look for a possible champ that plays similiarly to your main role, as there is already so many champions designed to be an odd role for a lane and even if not particularly designed for it, there are plenty of options regardless

[@loowick4074]

Top- Garen Mid- Garen Jungle- Garen Bot- Garen Support - Garen You are at the skill ceiling the first game you lock him in and you have .... Spin... Stun and execute. 10/10 I definitely play the game post 2016 Trust

[@gafanhotogamer5993]

Suggestion for adc. Veigar and Seraphine. One adds damage and some utility, the other adds a lot of utility and the safest waveclear of the game.

[@deathflame777]

i have to admit i havn´t played for long but i can also recomand tristana for mid or bot, she gets god tower damage early on and whith her bomb is difikult to tive also you can often just jump out of dangers

[@Za_Phantom]

personally, i would say to avoid playing fiddle cuz he plays the game very differently from other junglers, you need a bit more of an understanding with vision control and ult nuance, either for dmg or for cc, and he's easy to fall behind on without good jungle fundamentals.

[@arcanegale285]

hoo boy first off great video but for the love of god don't pick Janna and Soraka when autofilled support. It is SOOO obvious when a Soraka or Janna is not good at the champ. #1 you position the way you think you should and that is so far back that if a ranged creep died you'd likely miss out on exp (seen this happen too many times) #2 your poke/trade patterns are not good (you waste abilities and often misuse them) #3 you don't poke at all sometimes, which, as a LANE BULLY CHAMP, is not something you should ever be doing. I can't count how many times a soraka just sat there in lane against a brand and let her adc get hit with abilities instead of punishing him, soraka's q is one of the best poke tools in bot lane, and Janna's W and Q are the same #4 you probably don't know when to use ults (Janna and Soraka ults are both game changers and misusing them is really bad) I'll take autofill pyke support, hell I'll take a KATARINA support over somebody who can't use soraka...

[@js.josippp]

Today I was autofilled support and since the enemy ADC banned pyke I first timed Yuumi. My laning strategy was: attach to MF, spam Q into the enemy carry, exhaust/ignite when they're low. We won the game.

[@acaciasiobhan9205]

Of course the top main would say to not pick a ranged top ;) Top, Bot, Mid, and Support: Teemo/Ashe/Senna (utility + ranged damage: get some omnivamp/Senna Q going, stay out of the way, and pray) Jungle: Nautilus (riftmaker + burning + spirit visage = hurting while not helping + healing while not dying)

[@damour3317]

Please, I beg you, autofilled supports, STOP picking nautilus if you don't know when and how to engage. I am so sick of seeing 0/10 nauts getting caught at every crucial moment, missing hook into a group of 4 enemies and engaging at the worst possible times and from the worst possible angles.

[@tomekl3476]

I would say i dont necessarly agree but i may be wrong. Answer usually is go with whats simple and meta at the same time (and that changes a lot). Your takes on top, mid and jg are good but i dont necessarly agree with your bot and support picks. Blitzcrank is horrible for players having difficulty hitting skillshots and he just ends up being useless if someone cannot play him. I see nautilus or again amumu as best autofill picks (yes they are less save but are much easier to execute) milio is also really good autofill with how simple and broken he is. Adc i would say ashe is mid she is actually hard to pull of good damage and if u cant kite pick something else tbh, with how strong adcs are rn either pick a mage u main if u are autofilled from midlane or go with sth like tristana, jinx to deal damage safely (trist has a great selfpeel and simple trade pattern, jinx very long range) jhin is also great because he offers a lot of utilty not being so hard to execute like ashe. I wrote a book and some people may not agree but thats just my take.

[@redrosewick]

My god this made me remember one game I had where I (a Top main) got autofilled jg Our top was an autofilled adc main And our adc was an autofilled mid main Why the f was our adc an autofilled mid main when we had an adc main in the team? I have no idea

[@TekkatV2]

My favorite champion to play when I get autofilled is called "Escape Key". It never loses!

[@O_Coisa_Ruim]

The best autofill AD midlaner is Garen. Great wave clear, great dueling potential and great skirmishing. Even if you don't play very well in laning phase, you still become a frontline for your team.

[@Pyrrha_Nikos]

I kinda disagree on the last choice, to play Soraka you need 0 mechanical skill, for sure, but you need insane awareness. Locking in Soraka puts a bigger target on your head than any other champ in the game, and if you don't know how to position or ward your own flanks you offer literally nothing. You will go 0/25 and there's nothing you can do about it. I think Sona is a better pick as autofill support, because you don't have to do anything. It's true that autofilled Sonas don't know how to pressure lane, but you also don't have to. If you pick Sona, you will always be useful if you simply exist for long enough. All you gotta do is not int in lane and then press w in fights. That's it. You don't even have to aim your w or hover another champ like Soraka, just press it

[@kirat2009]

vars you bastard, now i'm gonna see more blitzcranks! i'm a morg main and i laugh at all the other hook/engage champs but blitz hook is the most annoying of them all

[@diasvt.r4481]

I don't recommend AD midlaners either, simply bc there's a high chance your toplaner and jungler will pick AD, and if u have only an enchanter support to deal magic damage later on, the game for you and your whole team will be much harder if enemy team realize that, even without tanks.

[@21526]

I think MF is a pretty good autofill adc. She doesn't have great mobility or CC but her passive helps her last hit and her ultimate is so strong it will win you team fighrs and games if you have basic game sense. The best thing about her ult isnt just the damage but the insane range, which lets you play a bit safer next to your support in the backline while still being useful a problem a lot of unexperienced carries run into.

[@1AKAvg]

[@kowladmc2125]

I'd say most people should just pick whatever champion they are most confortable with amongst those who are viable in given lane. For example, a toplane main who plays juggernauts autofilled to jungle would probably give his team the most if he picked something like Mordekaiser, since he won't be overwhelmed with any new mechanics and can focus purely on macro.

[@nauri99]

I think this is all true... if you want to win. I personally like exploring new champs and improving skill rather than playing something easy i know i can do

[@cosmicreaverkassadin827]

Just onetrick a champion and play him everywhere, no one can beat a Rengar onetrick, no matter which role he got and no matter which build he picks, he can just do absolutely everything.

[@normanrobles6086]

I do think sona should be on this list. Only skill shot is her ult which is pretty powerful and the size and range is big enough that if you point it in the direction of the enemy team will likely stun at least 1 person. Self and partner sustain, ok damage, move speed to entire team and ok shielding without having to really think too hard on your champion. Yes passive can change a 2v2 into a win if it’s a w passive instead of a q or e passive but even without that you can still play her at 80% effectiveness and still have good results.

[@antanasbulota6950]

An inexperienced Soraka or Janna is typically more reliable than an inexperienced Sona, since they have enough defensive utility to make up for being too passive in lane, but a Sona player needs to know how to bully and establish control over the wave ASAP while also knowing how not to int randomly while doing it. The skill floor for Sona is just a bit higher than the other two with the shorter range, reliance on autos and much weaker reactive tools until level 6.

[@cringemonkeys2017]

Top: Garen, morde, Darius Jgl: Warwick Mid: Fizz, panth, (ap blitz in normals) Bot: Tristana Support: main role so any engage support (pyke, blitz, naut, etc.)

[@saitouhajime3]

Hmm. Allow me a moment to say my piece on Leona. She's a diver tank meant to lock down 1 opponent. She has two abilities that lock down 1 enemy that lead into a 3rd arguable lock down in her ultimate. In other words, she punishes misposition. Her issue is that while she can lock down one person really good, she can't a easily lock down more than 1. Plus, she gets screwed if the enemy pays the qss tax. Naut and Blitz, however, can pressure more than 1 enemy. Blitz may snag 1 enemy at a time, but his ult is an aoe silence nuke, with a passive effect while it's not on cd. Naut is the medium between them, but he is better at multi target cc. His e and ult can cc multiple people, and his single target lockdown is almost as insane as Leona. The difference is that he uses a stun, root, slow, and knock up. Leona is all stuns.

I just want to que fill except for adc, sadly not possible 😢

[@cf7423]

theres an alternative...struggle to find a "main" lane or role and have enough knowledge of almost every champ and role to never truly be autofilled

[@Lucke-lp7xm]

just play sion in every role

[@shadowofsecracy]

I would not say Jhin for ADC. Maybe Jinx instead, she's fairly simple and straightforward, or Lucian as he has traits similar to a mage if you want damage and are used to mid-laning while also being fairly simple.

[@MisfortuneFeeva]

good vid, however i think id also give tristana a rec for autofill adc

[@AmokBR]

As an ADC player, my secondary role is support (I even play it as primary sometimes). Makes auto filling a lot easier since I already understand matchups and I know what a good support should do.

[@renesilva9705]

I disagree with your ADC pic, IMO the most important quality of an autofill ADC is the ability to escape without having too high a skill floor. I would say Caitlyn as a first choice with Sivir being a good alternative

[@mikalaconway7568]

Should have a "auto fill me" and "matchmake me with autofilled teamates" options

[@rannieller7690]

Yuumi would be wonderful for someone just playing spectator mode and taking notes on how the game works. But the downside to this safe and less hectic gameplay is that if you get too into the no movement gameplay, one might not be able to adapt when they need to walk for the first time

Thanks now I have a vid to go to when I am autofilled, which is 9/10 matches

[@elijahyoung4355]

I would have personally added garen as an honorable mention for top or even as the top pick.

[@alliu6562]

Ok so I disagree about Janna (and a little with soraka, but it’s not as big of a problem as janna). Sure, she looks easy to play, but you just picked the champ with some of the worst botlane matchups ever. She has no objectively winning matchups, a couple neutral matchups, and a LOT of terrible matchups. She is outscaled by most other commonly picked enchanters (Lulu, Soraka, Sona, Milio, Renata, Karma) and she has little to no way of stopping this scaling. At best you do handshake trades in lane, then lose hard when they have more utility than you. Her peel is entirely nullified by Morgana, who is the only other enchanter in the same level of useless as Janna.. but at least Morgana has a spellshield. Her disengage is useless against hooks (Blitz, Naut, Thresh, Pyke) and her good matchups still require Janna to have good positioning and micro skills (Amumu, Alistar, Leona). On top of that, she has no way to heal up after getting poked, but her range and damage aren’t good enough to beat mage supports (Lux, Brand, Zyra). I think the only good matchup with no skill required is Yuumi, but that’s like saying you counter picked asol. Instead, for the enchanter alternative, I raise Karma. Let me explain: Karma is actually very easy to play. For beginners, just mantra q in lane and mantra e in fights. That’s all. Literally, that’s all. She’s easy to build, and always useful even when behind. She has very few complex mechanics, and she has a flexible and forgiving play style. She also has far fewer losing matchups, and is easy to survive in lane with. She is useful right out the box and continues to be useful all the way until late game, where she falls off in comparison to Sona, but all other enchanters are outscaled by Sona so that’s not really a problem. And as for my problem with soraka… a lot of people just don’t know how to position with her. Which is fine I guess, but her fragility is a big issue for beginners. But the simplicity of her kit makes up for it so I’m not gonna say she isn’t good for autofill, it’s mostly that if the enemy picks any assassin get ready for a bad time bc usually you’re low enough that they can engage on the adc you’re standing next to, 100 to 0 them, and let you die from aoe damage.

[@oscarserrano9611]

6:49 i would say ww is even easier than amumu beacuse you can miss the q, but ww has the healing and the w to see where are the low hp enemies, and you can go tank too, also thx to his good earlygame, you can figtback if you get invaded

[@Victorvonbass]

Main Top: Poppy Jg: Poppy Mid: Poppy (if it looks bad Malzahar; Need to try enchanter mid) Adc: Sivir Supp: Poppy (if it looks bad any enchanter; Soraka, Yuumi, Nami, Lulu they are all not too hard to play)

[@vunguyenlong5738]

Blitz is not an easy champ to play, missing the Hook is devastating since your entire kit revolves around that one ability, it is also not that easy to land latter in the game because of boots, you do apply loads of pressure simply by existing but the moment you miss that hook you have nothing. I would recommend Nautilus if you are auto filled support, hes similar to Blitz, his hook is much less powerful as it cant go through walls but the hitbox is huge so you really cant miss, also if you do miss, you have cc on your ultimate, your E AND your 'passive', plus a shield on W. You really cant go wrong with Naut hes kinda like Leona + Blitz into a single champion, just one thing though, everything he does seems to be in slow motion but you will get used to it in about 3 minutes of gameplay. For Top lane, Darius used to be very dominant very easy, unfortunally for him its no longer the case, you actually need to know what you are doing now, try Garen or Mordekaiser, one is very forgiving when you make mistakes and the other is pretty much unbeatable 1v1, both are easy to play.

[@tanoshichannel2012]

I would milio is the best support to auto fill with. Only one damaging ability, and the rest are easy to understand support skills with an ult that is easy to use than soraka's

[@shanecoffing]

One thing I will say about malzahar most people don't know. You HAVE to land Q. Not a maybe. It makes up WAY more damage in your kit than people understand. Not only does it do high damage itself, it resets your E duration so it's nessecary to maximize your damage. And while it's a big skillshot, it's not necessarily the easiest to land. I think Annie is easier personally. But good video.

[@kevingriffith6011]

My only problem with suggesting malzahar for an autofill pick is that you're just *asking* to push the lane too hard, get ganked and feed. I personally would prioritize range or mobility in an autofill pick over utility. Vladimir comes to mind, since you don't have to worry about managing mana and his puddle makes him hard to gank, and his gameplan is pretty easy for anyone to understand: Land your abilities, do damage, puddle if you get focused.

[@ViraLCyclopes]

Meanwhile my Auto fill Mid and Jgs: First time Elise and Katarina

[@Rathial]

autofill shouldn't exist period the upside of autofill if que time is like 1 min instead of 10 mins the downside of autofill is you just spent 1 min in que for an autoloss/unfavored game and effectively wasted 20+ mins instead of the 10 as well as loss of LP

[@marlowencna]

always have a pocket pick for "Auto-Fill" or least-like roles. at least 3-4 champs. 1. Choose a mechanically "easy" champion for you. so you don't need to regularly practice the auto-fill champ 2. Play to win. don't get tilt. 3. Don't worry about "meta". Comfort > Meta picks when it comes to auto-fill. .

[@mozkuthehermit5909]

Aatrox always and always will be consistent top lane autofill pick maybe even more so than malph, malph is now super op because stacked up buffs in years

[@doglopmaz]

Wouldn't recomend soraka over nami or even annie as enchanter, if you first try soraka without knowing what you should do is terrible.

[@derbart1191]

My List : Top - Mordekaiser, Malphite, Voli, Trundle, Warwick Jngl - J4, Seju, Zac, Fiddle, Nocturne Mid - Galio, Heimerdinger, Malzahar, Vex, Swain Sup - Swain, Nautilus, Pantheon, Brand, Morgana Adc - Ezreal, Miss Fortune, Varus, Ziggs, Sivir

[@argothapro1295]

The REAL solution : play neeko if you are Autofilled. With nashors tooth and pta of course

[@thedarkdragon1437]

thing is, autofill WILL FILL YOU MID OR TOP if you play mainly support or jungle. so, yhea, there is already one reason that people call bullshit on that. Also, honorable midlane mentions: if you main jungle: Bel veth (objective control), Fiddle( Farm till 6, then roam), Xin Zhao (against assasins), Eve(farm till 6, then forget the midlane ever existed) and vi (very versatile, can roam at lvl 3 or at 6. and easly counterjungle enemy camps) if you main top: Renekton, Wukong and Riven work wonders against assasins. However, for easiest toplaner to mid, take darius or quinn and laugh. If you main adc: Cait, Ezreal, Tristana and Ashe all work wonders in midlane. If you main support: Both bard and Seraphine have decent enough midgame to be playable mid. Just make sure you farm and don't die. There is also brand and xerath. That's midlane only. basically, if you play something very effectively in one lane, you can carry it over to midane most of the time. Exception being debuff engage tankjs like leona or full on casters like soraka.

[@yannahami5473]

i think as support main when i get autofilled top i will pick shen and when i autofilled jungle i will pick ivern and mid and adc i dont have for now

[@diddymelone2265]

Lol you'd Pick a boring Hero 10/10 if it means a free win. Thats the difference between us I suppose. I feed on jungle taliyah 90%of the time and its fun. Last game got autofilled top, went malphite, obviously won hard against irelia(pro Tipp: dont max q first, go w and e) and won the game. But I didnt enjoy myself very much so why bother. Only to See that numbers going Higher? What am I? Some stupid ass ceo? Lol but decent video anyway

[@collonar]

Instructions unclear: I picked Morde Bot and ran them over with a sympathetic Nauti Support

[@absenteechild8542]

Edit: everyone should learn how to jungle regardless of your main roles. Like you said, high barrier to entry. But also the skills required to JG are great for every role. Tracking enemy junglers, being mindful of lane matchups and objectives, etc. 3:58 the real trick is to pick champs that are both easy and have a stable and decent winrate, especially one that can cover multiple of your off roles. Soraka is pretty easy, but she’s not meta and honestly gets countered by most meta supports right now. Mao Kai tho? He’s always good, and he’s my auto fill go to. I’m an adc/mid main. Mao Kai supports, tops, and jungles well. And since he’s a tank, you’ll always get a more well rounded team comp because of it. And he never gets nerfed and he’s fairy meta resilient. Going back to the support example, he does everything but heal. Enchanter meta? He applies wounds and pokes very well. Tank meta? He has some of the best peel in the game and can engage. Caster meta? He loves building MR. Anyways this is why we should all become Mao Kai one tricks, thanks for reading my propaganda

[@vulpex4105]

HARD disagree on the Janna. She is a 100% utility hero, applying it correctly is difficult and often overshadowed rightfully by straight dmg, CC, or heal that other supports provide without trying. This means that she is an enabler for her team and cannot do things by herself. By extension this means most of the times she will just be useless in lane, especially since you cannot communicate with your ADC. In addition, her ult has lots of positioning and timing nuance, and 9/10 users of it either under-utilize it, or worse get their team killed. Switch her out with something like Nami whose only difficulty spike comes from landing the bubble. Or Lux, who is easy to play, safe, will always provide good CC, an okay shield, and good early game damage and pressure. But her ease comes with a curse that disables human thoughts. If you see a lux who dies more than 7 times in the entire game she is 100% guaranteed afflicted by this curse.

[@kevingriffith6011]

I have to disagree with a couple of your picks, but primarily because you're kind of putting players in the deep end. Take Malzahar for example: sure he's easy to contribute to a teamfight with, just press R and shut a guy down, but laning will be absolute pain. Relatively short range, no mobility and (unless they changed him since last I played) he's very hungry for mana. If you've never played him before, sure it's easy to use his kit but by that same token unless you know what you're doing you're just going to be an easy target for ganks, especially since Malz has a habit of auto-pushing lanes unintentionally. For an inexperienced midlaner or ADC I would 100% prioritize safety: Someone with decent range or an escape tool, preferably one that doesn't have to put a lot of effort into managing their resources. Vladimir comes to mind for mid, and Caitlyn for bot. Chances are if you don't know a lane very well you won't know what to do with your lane (or even what tools you have at your disposal to control it) so having a band-aid to put over your poor wave management is great.

[@mahe7744]

also as an adc... LEARN HOW TO BUILD, its like half the role pls I cant cout how many times i ve seen adcs and both norms and aram with sht like galeforce>runaans>rapidfire canon complain that they deal 20 dmg to the tank or someone with boots. What do you think its going to happen when the only AD item u have is galeforce lol. Also I would say leona because, more tanky so ppl who mess up get less punished and.... they cant hook themselves into turret

[@realiance4266]

Don't pick Ashe when filled, just pick any mage. I have more games on carry Lux than any normal ADC and unless enemy pick Tristana/Lucian you can't lose. And her best supports are Pyke and Rakan. Nautilus Leona Rell and other CC bots are way worse than those two

[@oarfish36]

I live by "When in doubt, pick Taliyah." I one trick her mid atm and I have played her extensively in Jungle, Bot, and Support. And Taliyah OTPs even play her Top when filled, which she does alright there. She just presses E and the enemy Top can't do much

[@WiiSportsTwo]

Blitz is a dangerous recommendation if you're above silver. While the hook can apply a lot of pressure if you hit it, you are worthless if you can't. Nautilus should be the primary recommendation. Regardless id recommend something that is reminiscent of your lane, e.g. lux/xerath/brand if you play a mid mage, engage supports for tanks, pyke for assassins, can't think of anything else off the top of my head.

[@firstflame7859]

You're just plain wrong about Ashe dealing no damage. She can mow down a lot of ADCs when her Q is ready. Building crit will also ramp up her damage to stupid levels. She wont dive in 1v5 and get a penta like Samira but she WILL perma-kite you with slows and mow you down.

[@elementmanexe8389]

Since you talked a little about silence on malzahar, could you talk more about it as a whole, it would be interesting to talk about.

[@wren5413]

Personally, I think Ornn is an extremely good top lane pick if you arent sure what ur doing toplane. Just play really passively in the laning phase and you should do just fine. You wont be able to bring out Ornn’s full potential but thats not really the point here. Ornn is just a super bulky guy thats hard to kill, has good CC, and decent damage. Being able to upgrade mythics means even if he isnt doing amazingly himself he is still a good asset for the team. He is also one of the only champions where a 0-0-0 laning phase is a good outcome. Just sit near tower, farm minions, and dont engage unless your jg is with you. You wont carry, but you will still provide a lot of late-game value to the team.

[@cosmicreaverkassadin827]

Also a very important thing you forgot about Malz is how he is insane against untanky solocarries. No matter how good the enemy is, it can be a challenger Talon Smurf which is 20/0 while you are 0/10, just press E R and he will go low or even die because you have completely insane damage.

[@lilianmesmo]

great vid as always, i only disagree on jungle (being a master jungler main until like a month ago) imo, Amumu being amumulike weak early on is where more experienced junglers, specially on higher elos, will feast on them. Not only that, but one of his worst matchups is Lee Sin and Lee is everywhere in ranked. Also, Vi is giga hard to play well, a fill jungler will literally solo lose a game on bad engages if it decides to play Vi and don't know how. I would recommend something strong early game with strong ganks and less margin for error, like Xin Zhao and Rammus

[@quickredf0x143]

I always hate having a Malz on my team. All the Malz players just prioritize wave clear with their ewq combo and never know when to stop and let other people get gold. They play like they need hyper scaling adc gold and never actually make proper use of that gold or the pressure it gives them. On the support topic, I'd recommend Nautilus over Blitz because his earliest levels are so much more forgiving than on Blitz. Start Q then W then finally E. He does a remarkable amount of damage for how tanky he is from level 1 and taking his W level 2 makes him kind of disgusting. For the enchanter situation, I'd recommend either Soraka or Janna. Soraka does not do well into high range bot lanes due to never being able to land her Q. They are never in range to allow you to sustain yourself so you cannot use half your kit. In those situations, I always run Janna because her shield makes for a good anti-poke tool and gives a good amount of stats for when you are engaging. She requires better prediction and a bit of mind games for her tornadoes but they only take a couple games to get the hang of. Also also, remember that enchanters are lane bullies and use your auto attacks to pressure the enemy adc whenever they try to cs.
