Known issues with new champ select

RiotRiot NaKyle··35 votes·73,804 views

Hey all,

EDIT: Holy cow, what a day. We're back online after having to go down earlier. I've updated the list with some issues, some of which were able to be solved server-side (no patch required). Thanks for the patience.

We’re sharing a list of known issues with new champ select to consolidate feedback and bug reports. Like all other features, we’re taking an iterative approach to new champ select, and will be building on the feature in the months to come. If you see anything outside these issues, post here! We’re planning to fix all of these issues over the next few patches.

  • Unable to purchase skins in new champ select.
  • Unable to select chromas in new champ select.
  • Unable to select ward skins in new champ select.
  • Unable to disable animations in new champ select.
  • Champion ability details do not show on mouse hover.
  • The “See more stats” button in the Leagues tab of the Profile page has been disabled for both individuals and teams.
  • TRIAGE: An issue with MMR-clamping at high-tiers of play was causing exceptionally high queue times. This was improved on 1/14 and again on 1/15
  • SOLVED: An error on our end allowed for an exploit of the tier restriction to be bypassed in Ranked Draft. That has been fully resolved.
  • SOLVED: A matchmaking bug caused premade 5's to match against groups of solo players too often. This fix is now implemented
  • SOLVED: A matchmaking bug causing lopsided games was solved, expect slightly longer queue times because of this.

Keep an eye on the patch notes and here for updates!

LOCK IT IN Bans and picks must be locked in. Hovering doesn't count! Failing to lock in a ban or pick will result in a dodge with a time penalty.

I hope this isn't permanent. Often I like to select my champion and then get some water / go to toilet while the timer runs out and the loading screen starts.

Cant be bothered to add one more click before you leave hunh?

But that's not my point. My point is that I get ~30 extra seconds to do whatever I have to do if I don't need to lock in.

mertcanhekim 33 votes

And waste 30 seconds of other people's time.

Myrmiron13 votes

Better than being afk for the first 30 seconds of the game no?

mertcanhekim 55 votes

How about you do whatever you need to do 30 seconds before you queue for a new game?

My only issue is the banning. Some times I space a bit in chat, trying to talk out what were going to do and didnt realize I was banning... then I get my timer. I kinda wish there was something big, that said "HEY MAN, BRO, YOU'RE BANNING... JUST SAYIN... GL"

Or when you have your volume down and you're on another window waiting for it to find a game, and it finds one. It no longer will 'pop up' and prompt you to accept the game you've found. Had it once or twice where i hadn't even known that it had found one and was given a time i had to wait as punishment. They need to post these changes in a 'newbie help tip' thing or a 'hey, notice: stuff is different' notification when they make substantial changes such as that, and to many other aspects of the new champion selection!!

I would love that. I almost forgot to ban in one game because I didn't even realize I was banning

There are legitimate reasons to let the timer run out though. Sometimes your team has problems deciding on particular picks, teamcomp strategy, or maybe even lane/position swaps. It's not always possible to decide beforehand, even for premades, since it could be a response to specific bans or enemy picks. Stalling for a bit more time is pretty reasonable in that case.

lmfao this made my game ahem, day

All jokes aside, you can do whatever you need to do after you lock in, because that means your done, you are free to afk until game starts AFTER YOU LOCK IN. Don't waste your team's time because you need to use the toilet, get a drink, etc... so you hover.

how are people downvoting this, this is so terrible. The game is literally unplayable in its current state as it takes me 45 mins to try to play a game and never end up getting to play. How is this something that no one else is losing their minds over....fix your bullshit game riot

Sorator19 votes

You realize people are downvoting the guy who wants to make champ select take longer, right?

The0therDad9 votes

I think his point is waiting 30seconds for each person is... well its 5 minutes, but Ive jumped from lobby to lobby to lobby and have been in que for literally 20-25 minutes because people keep dodging by accident. Where everything is going smoothly, I get my champ, Im in a lobby with positive people and... I get into a new lobby.

I mean I agree with the consensus, but I know his pain.

Sorator13 votes

Part of the point of that change is specifically to discourage that behavior.

Myrmiron7 votes

"that behavior" is now part of the game for >6 years. If it truly was a problem Riot would've fixed it by now.

There's a glitch where I can't select a champion in champion select. I keep getting penalized because I get kicked for not picking a champion.

Zarsin19 votes

I was in champ select the UI froze all but chat. and then all of a sudden the match crashes out and I have a leaver penalty. I didn't leave, your new champ select crashed and its stupid that i get stuck with a time penalty. please fix this issue.

AviatorV27 votes

This same thing happened to me twice in a row yesterday. After I waited the 6 minute penalty, the very next game I had the same issue in. Then I had a 30 minute penalty.

HUGE ISSUE As soon as you go to change the summoner spells the Client goes all fuzzy and you are unable to interact with the screen anymore. Can no longer pick champs, masteries, runes, or even talk to your teammates. Annoying as hell because I'm getting leaverbuster for not being able to select a champ

PLEASE RIOT FIND A FIX FOR THIS ITS HAPPENING TO ME TOO :,(

Just got leaver-bustered for not banning a champ. The client itself wouldn't allow me to ban, ticked down to 0, stayed there for like 15 seconds then gave me a penalty and sent me to lobby. Clicking on any champion in the ban screen did absolutely nothing until 0 seconds, then the ban button finally came up, which also did nothing.

Okay, I can't play now because my client is bugged. Got into champ select, everything was ready to go, timer for game start went down to 0, then nothing happened. All 5 of us still in chat. After about 5 mins I restarted my client, everything looks fine, try to start a game and as soon as I click 'launch', main window in client goes black and says 'please wait'. Can't leave this page, nothing ever happens except that every few minutes I get a 'no response from server' message.

ps, my friend is still in game lobby at 0 secs.

edit: tried restarting client again, still can't play, same issue. I can't enter queue, client stuck saying 'Please wait' forever. I can click the league icon in top left and go back to home page of client, but I can't kill the 'arranging team' process and try again, the x doesn't do anything.

Above is an attached photo of my game client that keep freezing in champselect. It doesn't work and constantly freezes. It has kicked me out of que more times than I can count, leaving me with 30+ minute wait times before I can join the que again. It makes it difficult to play with friends and it is starting to leave a bad taste in my mouth.

this is same problem i have been having. freezing at champ select, bans, and very bad lag in game if i by some stroke of luck make it. sent a support request and got some bs auto reply saying basically that they dont know when they can fix it. so much for support. please correct this injustice to players worldwide who love this game as much as i. i cant even play at this point because i just get lagged out of select and penalized.

Game crashed in champion select and I got a leave status with time penalty...

Me and my friends are unable to actually use new champ select, we cant join the same lobby and we just get a loading message

Kagi Al5 votes

Why not add that a lot of people can't access ranked/draft because it just says " please wait" and it never loads. I even deleted client and reinstalled, nothing.

**after i trade **when i click a skin i want to play it wont show up in game and sometimes i get a skin i dont even own

Got the timer stuck at 0 bug...

Honest question: Did you guys (Riot) just not test this at all or did you know about these obvious bugs and push it through anyways?

This is pretty unacceptable from a software company. I just don't understand how these bugs can slip through.

Atamic4 votes

Please please please fix the bug that isnt allowing people to lock in. Having the screen get stuck on 0 for whoever was previosuly picking and not being able to see your lock in button is so annoying. Getting penalized for a leave when you have done nothing wrong is terrible. Your client has a problem and your players are paying for it.

Also, would be really nice if the ready timer to join a match and the "you're banning" timer would have an audible countdown or something to catch your attention. I have been chatting to my team about positions and champions to decide a comp and almost missed my ban several times. It's not like I was afk. I am right there in the team chat and almost getting a dodge because there is no indicator.

I seem to be unable to cancel the queue. I don't know if you have been told this a million times or I am the first to say this. But, it also seems to not load every time I click to join a queue. It sort of turns black and I have to restart my client.

I can't accept friend's invite, nothing happens after I press accept. Prior to that while I was able to get into his lobby, but he was put into a game while I was in a ghost lobby with him still present. After I tried to create a lobby to invite him, I got a error message saying "{0} is already in a game lobby." After I was able to create a lobby, I tried inviting my friend. He was unable to accept and had the same problem as me. Lastly, when I tried to cancel the lobby, it put me into another ghost lobby with my friend who really wasn't there. Every time I tried to cancel the lobby, I would end up in the same lobby. That happened for about 3 minutes. What's going on??

btw, I'm not sure why as this wasnt an Issue using it earlier today, but queue are SOOOOO LONG! I'm sitting in a 15:31 queue with both support and fill selected.

VirusSixZero2 votes

When I just want to play LoL, I used to queue up in Team Builder with Support selected. My average wait time was 9 seconds, choosing Support and Bot in the new champ select took 3 minutes to find a game.

Sc0ttyd0esntn03 votes

Try support and jungle that will probably be the quickest

Zenzai3 votes

Basicly I have 19 rune pages, only 6 or 7 of them show up in the new champ select, which was unfortionate since the page I wanted to use was all the way on page 19 =/

36:30 and counting for a silver 3 champ select... worst idea ever

Chakan3 votes

So I understand that this is a new system, but when the launcher keeps crashing during the new champ select and I have to force close my game there is some kinda problem. Plus now I have this massive wait time now because the games thinks I'm trying to dodge que and it has happened some many times.

Melo Ball3 votes

Its absolutely unacceptable how so many players are being punished because of a ridiculous bug in this failure of a system.

KagamiTheGreat3 votes

So ive been having a bug where in the new champ select i change my masteries but it always loads me in with the last know masteries i had equipped before i qued. Is anyone else having this problem

d4rkshock3 votes

When can we expect the bug preventing us from joining games after champion select to be patched. I haven't been able to play in a week. Same goes for half the community

A couple weeks ago, an issue regarding my rune pages had occurred and persists through this day. As I enter champion select for any game mode, I proceed to choose the correct rune page I need based on my champion. However, every single time I enter a game, the runes that I had just applied are not in effect. Instead, my champion will receive stats based on another rune page. This is becoming increasingly annoying, especially during ranked games where I do not have the proper runes even though I clearly picked them in the champ select. To try to figure the exact problem, I deleted all my rune pages. Still, when I go to champ select and click on an empty rune page, my champion will still receive stats for some reason, albeit with the wrong bonuses, let alone on a page with no runes at all. Please fix this. I have uninstalled league and reinstalled it as well just to hope it would be fixed. But still, the problem continues and I am "locked" into one rune page and cannot use any other.

This is the second time I have had the new champ select freeze on me during the banning phase. I have told riot about this problem and I still get penalized for not being able to ban a champ.

Primo do coiso3 votes

I don't know if this was local problems but i doubt it, for 2 times now i got into a dinamic queue game and when i went to ban the button didn't work and it got stuck at 0 seconds (it kept ticking as if there was time left) for about 4-5 minutes until eventually i either left or it took me out and told me i didn't ban so i had to wait to queue again. I bet this wasn't local as the other players complaint about it being stuck too and i was able to write to other players in the game chat and to friends via PM.
