Please bring back auto locks when hovering over a champion and champion preview
Sometimes people like to take their time when choosing a champion so they can make sure it is the right choice for the team comp vs the enemy team comp. MOST of the time its not simply auto locking a shaco or amu just because you main that champ or auto locking a jhin just because he is new and available. Actual thought process goes into champ select picks for most people who play a large variety of champions, this is ESPECIALLY important for support or jungle mains.
forcing a lock in puts pressure on the player to lock in a champ during the time frame which could result in panic picks just because you HAVE to lock in now. its so annoying. There is literally no reason to get rid of auto lock because trolls who waste time will always hover over teemo and then lock in something else at the very last second anyway, so you are doin no favors to anyone in that regard.
and another thing is champion previews. Yes i know you get a whopping 40 seconds before the actual ban phase starts to select a champion, but this is not enough. in the old champion select you always had the ability to preview the entire roster of champions while other players were picking. this may seem like a small thing, but once again it is a huge deal to people who play a large variety of champions for their main role. this was gotten rid of just for the fucking new Eye candy(good eye candy i admit, but eye candy none the less) that is champion selection. non casuals wont care about a giant bubble in the middle of the screen, we care about what champion we are going to pick and it helps ALOT if we had the ability to view all 128 champions in the damn game. giving us 40 seconds to do this is laughable.
fix these two things and the new champion select will be improved by quite a bit. you will also be able to get rid of the pointless pre ban champion select phase which is honestly just a waste of time if we had champion preview back.
