New Champ select actually has to go

As crazy as it sounds, I think the new champ select actually brought on MORE problems than the ones it solved

The issue was people wanted to play a certain role(roles?) in ranked, but that is gonna INEVITABLY increase queue time No way out, it's gonna increase queue time.

It's like trying to find a 4 leaf clover in a patch of grass rather than just finding any clover. To search for a person that opts to play support/jg is definitely going to take time than finding available players in general

This especially gets worse and worse as you go up. Plat 1 is absolute cancer to climb, because each game takes you 1 full hour, even if the "actual" gameplay is 20-30 mins, the remaining time is in the dreadful queue timer+champ select, plus each time you fail promos it's the most crushing feeling ever

Also, additionally WHY, and i mean, WHY do i HAVE TO PICK TOP BLIND?

I cannot mention how many times I've gotten screwed because i have to pick a top-laner as first pick without knowing who/what i'm going aganist Gee, maybe i wanna play something that isn't gonna get screwed due to a counterpick/team comp because they're first pick, like IDK, support/jg? >_>

Yes, you can "communicate" with others and offer to swap roles, but then that's a 50-50 whether they can and that leads to issues with whether they can play a matchup confidently ( let's face it, support-main playing vs a riven main in top, you know who's dying first blood) As for auto-lockers...** I don't think you're gonna dissuade them from anything, in fact people are gonna do it, just like intentional feeders.**

Tldr: New champ select = 10+ mins queue timers, also plz don't force solo laners to blind pick their lanes, it makes for a terrible experience

If anything, people quitting the game - particularly the ranked portion of the game due to unfair matchups and all the other BS dynamic queue brought with it - is the reason for increased queue times. Not new champ select.

As myself and others have pointed out. Increased queue times was a gradual thing. It wasn't instant after DQ/ncs was introduced. Queue times were fine at the start of the season, and gradually started getting worse and worse over time. Meaning more people gradually stopped playing ranked and league in general, likely after realizing how much this season sucks.

And queue times continue to get worse and worse and worse. That's how you know it's not simply role select that's causing it.

Why not offer to set up a champion trade so you don't have to first pick?
