BRING AUTO-LOCK BACK TO CHAMPION SELECT!!!!

FreeScape·Jan 28, 2016·5 votes·1,654 views

I think it is bull shit that Riot got rid of this in the first place. I think most people who played this game before S6 just let the game lock in for you when the countdown timer ended. When the update came I "dodged" like 5 games cuz that's how I would lock in. Now every now and then I would forget about it and get out on a temporary wait time just to get into queue. Just now like 5 min ago, I was in ranked champion select getting my 10 games and then guess what... Last pick and got the perfect champion for the game to probably win the game, i was talking to my team 3 2 1, kicked from the game. Now I have to wait 30 min just to get into a game. I'm not even sure I have a loss counted against me for that(I've heard that it counts as a loss by other people, never happened to me)

I feel like it was an unnecessary removal of something and I don't want another person have to be punished for locking in. Plz vote in the poll I made. If someone smarter than me can do something better to get Riot's attention. Plz comment. Also comment your opinion about this situation.

What's so hard about clicking a button?

I am just used to letting it countdown for me. It doesn't really hurt to add it back. I'm sure other people would agree

I don't think that resistance to change is alone a good reason to be against something. I find having it around helps speed up the drafting process, as people are more likely to lock it in quicker now.

I have ADHD. It's difficult, especially when this was the case before.

please understand, that is only an excuse. please don't find that rude, I have autism and it was hard to exist in this world for a long time. but then I realized, that these psychological conditions - they are just circumstance, not some permanent disease that prevents growth and kills us. no, these are things which are just what tools we have in this world. Finding tricks and techniques to use our tools to operate in the world as the world requires is a strength every human has, regardless of which conditions the come to life with.

it doesnt though its far more detrimental than it is motivational because if someone forgets to lock in everyone gets kicked out and now 10 people have to get matched in a new game instead of just loading into your last game. forcing people to lock in will maybe save everyone 30 45 sec, and im being extremely generous with that number, but when it fails then people are forced back into a 2 miute que. but if its really taking too long you can cut 10 sec from your selection time and add 10 sec to the declaration time, but that allows less time for counter picks.

What reason was there to remove it? If the argument was to "speed up" select, then shorten the timer to 5-10sec not 30. But how it is now, it takes longer due to unintentional dodges made by the system. If it's because of afks then what's the point of the "afk check" prior to select? Removing it has surely caused more problems than it solved.

when you played for 6+ years of it automatically locking it in for you it is hard to remember

why i don't see a valid reason NOT to have it in the game. (other than perhaps people locking into a champ that would be stupid to use vs what the enemy just picked, and now they cant change) and frankly i would like to be able to lock in and then use the restroom or something before the match it really is your own fault. riot DID make the game pop up to the front of the screen, and make a loud noise.. they made it make a noise when your champ was banned or picked, or what its your turn to pick or ban.

while i do think it would speed up the process a tiny bit. its not like the game didn't TELL you. unless are AFK this really isn't an issue...

This is really difficult for me to get used to, especially since I first started playing in 2010-2011.

This is getting really hard for me to get used to. I have ADHD. I literally was sitting there at the computer waiting for my champion to lock in but then the client made me "dodge." I haven't played for 1.5 years and just got back. This is incredibly hard to get used to. I've "dodged" like 5 games today.

this sounds like you're failing to pay attention.

DrDreathAug 8, 20171 votes

your right im too busy editing masteries spells and runes to pay attention. it sounds like your just trying to be toxic.

sometimes u have to edit them situationally

DrDreathAug 8, 20171 votes

totally agree ive been playing for years and when i came back i dodged like 4 games totally unintentionally cause im used to the game locking in for me while im selecting my spells, runes and editing mastery sets. i need the full 30 sec almost all the time and getting kicked out while im editing my masteries is super annoying. the new launcher is very smooth and sleek but this feature doesnt reflect that at all.
