I am experiencing the same problem, when I am in rank champion selection I could ban champion but when is my turn to choose my champion, the server did not provide me any options. I was forced to quit because unable to select a champion in time. It counted me as dodging the game and make me wait 5 min, 30 min and 45 mins. Can someone look into the problem and fix it ?

I'm getting the same issue, but now you can't go back to the legacy client. would love to get some acknowledgement from Riot on these issues. I've stopped playing ranked and if lucky will get one normal game a day before I'm banned for not being able to select a champ if I'm lucky enough to get a 2-second window of opportunity when everything 'catches up' and I actually see what's going on. So frustrating.

Why do I keep getting disconnected in Ranked Champion Select lobbies? This happens everyday if not happens to my roommate. We will look into a new modem but 60 ping in-game means that shouldn't be the issue? I wouldn't mind if it was a simple 5 min timer once a month. But 30 minutes everyday? ~~Im glad I dont buy skins~~ Edit: Also effects my promo's which is a joke. Edit: I can talk in lobby to allies. Then right before my champ selection the enemies timer will be stuck on 0. Then I can no longer talk in chat and everyone leaves lobby. The client asks if I would like to exit instead. As I wait an error message pops up. Then I am back in lobby with a dodge timer that has grown to 30 minutes.

You're that asswipe that just quit in my ranked queue because you lost lane and couldn't handle the fact that someone was better than you. Grow the fuck up.

I hear you. Man it is frustrating when their problems result in punishment for genuine players. smh.

New client? If yes, that's why I switched back to the old client months ago.

DrCarMay 17, 20171 votes

Same happened to me after updating to patch 7.10. I could not select/ban any champs at champ select and got a 5 min penalty, then i tried again and had the same problem so I got a 30 min penalty. What is going on?? Riot please keep us posted

FizzKhal1ffaMay 21, 20171 votes

I have the same problem from the 7.10 update......all my champs are locked....i can't pick and i get ban, RITO make this game unplayable, they only do updates without fixing a problems they rush so much with updates and they don't care about the problems that the players have, they only care about the competitions and the teams they don't care about the solo Q and the gold and under players who are the 95% of League players actually........

EliteGophersJun 13, 20171 votes

mine does this too but the old client sais it is retired is there any other way because riot does nothing and doesn't give a squat about the players

Same thing just happend to me in ranked. I banned a champ (new 10 ban system) and when I was to select a champion no option came up, just a view of map and the different roles. Does RIOT give a fuck about losing lp? I'd love to get somekind of acknowledge of the problem or my lost points back..

I have found that Installing Adobe Air and restarting your computer should do the trick. Give it a try and get back to me in comments!

I hate it. Everytime I have to ban. I have to spam multiple times. I was in a promo game. And I selected sej to ban. I couldnt ban her cause it didnt register man ban and I took a promo loss.

RIot fix this bug i cant lock in champions or ban them its like client freezes

ZeluloseApr 17, 20191 votes

This happened to me 2 years later. I preselected a champion and for whatever reason it locked me into my role but let me select other roles. I only could not select Annie this has also happened to me on Katarina.
