(Ranked Draft) Failed to select champion after about 1 second.

Edit: This is lag, not a client bug. See bottom.

I tried to queue up for a ranked game today in second position on blue side. After red side locked in their picks and it was my turn to go, the timer counter started at 1 second then kicked me out for failing to select a champion in time.

The only potential thing I can think of that may have triggered it was sending a message at about the same time they locked in the second champion for their pick step. Someone had also left the previous lobby I was in (maybe from the same bug, who knows.)

Normally I wouldn't think too much about it but leaving ranked lobbies has actual repercussions.

Addendum: I queued up a second time once the time was up to see if it was reproducible. Apparently this is just a case of severe lag on the AIR client's part. I sat on the "The game is about to begin!" screen for about 30 seconds. In-game ping is unaffected. A quick summary is that the timer sat at 0 for the opponent blue side's picks for about 20 seconds, then when it updated we had already locked in one pick and hovered over the other. The final pick also sat at 0 for about 15 seconds.

Bump, happened again.

http://youtu.be/zLfboGzy5bc Got a video of it this time. You can see the countdown hitting 0 and nothing happening. Only happens on this account though. I tried with a different one and it was fine. Pretty much can't play ranked at all though. Repairing the game files didn't do anything.
