Kicked out of champ select before timer ran out

So I was in ranked queue when I was discussing on which champ to grab, I had a good 15 secs left (ticking sound didn't even start), when I got kicked all of a sudden, lost some LP and got the queue restriction timer...and THEN the ticking sound started playing. Did anyone get this bug? Should I submit a ticket? I'm pretty sure I've had less time before, without this problem, and no...it isn't lag, I never have that and we were still discussing in real-time.

You say it isn't lag, but that's probably what it was; more precisely, packet loss.

If the client misses the data from the server saying a person locked in, their timer will continue on down to zero on your client, then automatically move on to the next person and count down for them. In reality, that person actually has less time than displayed.

This might not have been your problem, but it does happen.

Yea, that's like the only logical answer, was waiting for someone to confirm it, damn...that's pretty dumb, well now I know for next time.

Safest best is to hover a champion even if ur not sure what you want. at the least, if this happens again you'll lock something in.
