What's with all of the Auto-Locking ?!

Auto locking should be a ban-able offense. I am tired of toxic, stubborn players poorly balancing teams, or not respecting people who fairly calla role first.

I understand that they made teambuilder to help those who want to play a specific champ, but this leaves those wanting to play popular roles such as top or mid waiting several minutes at a time. TB could even offer bonus IP to those who play as the low supply roles. This increased incentive would help balance the market. These roles, would get 4/3 the amount of IP if they win the game. This gives them a bigger incentive to play as best as they can, while helping to make a role seem more attractive. Personally, I find that it takes too long to set up teambuilder because we're waiting on a role that nobody really wants because it is thankless or just generally unattractive.

Am I missing something, or should these stubborn players at least receive some sort of warning? I am in a queue with someone who bullies roles about every 3 games I play. I know this might be trivial, because people could manage. I would just appreciate a discussion.

========================

Player 1: top Player 1: top Player 2: top [auto locks riven] Player 1: I called it fairly Player 2: too bad

=========================

Player 1: top Player 1: top Player 2: top Player 1: I called it fairly Player 2: I know, but I'm really trying to learn her. I could jungle instead, but I don't know her as well. Player 1: I haven't really played other roles too much. Player 3: P1 got top, by the way Player 2: Ok, fine, I'll try to jungle instead

in this case people come to a decision together and fairly...

==========================

Because I'm a civil, level headed human being, I end up balancing the team to try to help us win, not really doing the role that I'd like.

Thoughts/comments? Does my proposed system for TB sound ok? Has anyone else had bad experiences? Do you Auto lock? Why?

To be honest, I think that the concept of locking would be better in draft or if the time was 2 minutes to choose a champion. It is a bit of a scramble at the moment. If there is a dispute regarding a lane, that gives someone ten seconds to figure out how to balance the team, after finally giving up the fight.

Two people can go top.

two people COULD go top, but that leaves the team imbalanced. I don't go into a game with the assumption that somebody will call something stupid, forcing a strange game where the lanes are 1-3-1 with no jungle, or 3-1-1 or 1-1-1 with 2 jungle.

I don't see how you have a point
