Fast path champion selection

Moetaro··3 votes·422 views

Instead of blind pick you should implement fast path pick.

In the join game screen:

  1. I want to play "this champion" as primary role "this role"
  2. I want to play "this other champion" as secondary role "this other role"
  3. I want to ban "this champ that I dont like"
  4. press "join game"
  5. magic happens
  6. actually play, no more time wasted nor pick&bans screen.

You cannot counter pick, but in blind pick you cant anyway, and this would save TONS of time for most of us.

The simple fact of starting a game is a fucking pain in the ass in this game.

Kinda. You'd basically select a role/the "character" you'd prefer playing, it'd pair you up with similar people, then give the team the option to switch picks last second (should you want to go malph instead of fiora top to help the comp), and boom: game. Was quite fun, barring all the troll-related antics.

They shouldnt have removed it then. It's so annoying all the time wasted in the champion selection screen. After 2 or 3 dodges I have the feeling that I spend more time selecting my champions than actually playing. And I play support, I cannot imagine what it is to play as mid main, 1 game per day or so, I guess.

They did because it "took too long," aka three minutes.

But like, the host could say he wanted to find five supports, and four other supports could join, and they could stay if they were up for it! It was a way to break the meta with 100% consent. Glorious.

Yeah, apparently they removed it because they thought flex queue would solve everything (which clearly worked, as since then there have been zero complaints about the new system and not once have they thought about bringing back team builder or solo queue, not once).

And playing mid isn't exactly "bad". Although I only do 1-2 matches per day (work a 60hr/wk work schedule, so my "Free time" is limited), I get my role about 80% of the time and usually just play freelo supports bot if I get auto-filled. The problem is that the people around me are usually either autofilled, or not but randomly choose to play characters they suck at.
