Chat Room problem

I have no idea if this has been posted, but there have been several instances where people are fighting for roles in a given game. What has been happening is that say, for example, player "A" calls ADC on the chat room first, and it appears as the first call on his screen. Player "B" then calls ADC on his screen and it also appears as the first call on his screen. The problem is where Player "B" cannot see that Player "A" called ADC first. A few other players also see that Player "A" called it first; the call of Player "A" is not seen on the screen of player "B.

Is this a possible lag on entering the chat room? It is messing up champion select and team comps. Thanks for your time.

It's because the your chat never goes to the server before it is displayed on your own screen. It goes directly to your display. For others, your chat goes to the server, then to them. This could be solved by forcing all chat, even your own, to go to the server and be sent back to you before it is displayed. However, this would result in extra data being sent. Per game, that's not a big resource hog. Multiply that by the number of games in session at any given point, and the resource drain increases massively.
