[RIOT/Lyte] Please sync champion select chat.

This is one of the biggest causes of raging and team conflict in Normal Blind Pick. You did fine offering an alternative through team builder, but many of us like using Normal Blind Pick as well.

You know the story…. You click “Accept” on the Match Found popup window. After all 10 people click accept you are placed into the champion select screen with the chatbox. You see people entering the session and immediately typing their preferred lane.

Unfortunately, everyone’s chat box shows different sequences of chat, when they are typing and entering the session very close to the same instant in time. Even worse, if you are the last one entering the session, and you are a few seconds late, you don’t see the chat that happened before you entered the session! You hear the arguments start, “I called top first.” “No, I called top first, noob, here is my copy and paste.” “No, you edited that; here is my copy and paste, jerk. See? I called top first, liar.”

Really Riot? There is no excuse for this. Each client sends their chat to the Server. The Server stores the chat sequence in a master list, sorted in the order the server receives the chat. The server has a pointer for each client into that list, and feeds/echos the clients the chat in proper sequence. If someone enters in a few seconds late, they see ALL the chat, IN PROPER TIME SEQUENCE!

No more synchronization issues. No more raging and arguing over who called what when. This would dramatically decrease player frustration. Now we would just have to deal with the jerks who ignore sequence (which happens way less than the current argument of who called what first), but at least there would be no arguing the facts.
