Order of chat messages gets mixed up at champ selection
THIS RUINS 20% OF THE GAMES:
Many times at champion selection people write very quickly who wants to go to which lane. When two people both target the same lane, e.g. "mid", it is important to know who said it first. However, the chat system works in a way that often both people see their message was said first. This is probably because the user's own messages are displayed at once, while the messages of the remote party have to travel through the server first.
Very few people understand this. Therefore it all comes down to people getting pissed off because both of them think they were the first. Many times they leave the game or stay AFK because they THINK they are right. For that reason, 4 honest players have to wait 20 minutes just to surrender, because the system punishes the leavers. In the end everybody leaves the game disappointed.
A solution would be not to display the user's own messages at one, but let them travel through the server as all the other remote messages.
