God forbid the new Draft makes you cooperate with teammates

I remember WAY BACK when Riot was asked to make a judgment call on Call Order vs. Pick Order?

Regardless of their decision, their overarching message to the playerbase was COMMUNICATION WITH YOUR TEAM.

Now that the new Draft pick is here, the complaints I've been seeing on the forums concern:

  • Not being able to do off-meta picks
  • Not being 100% guaranteed a role

Not being able to do off-meta picks because your team is b*tching at you? Newsflash, it's a TEAM game, not a solo playthrough. You have players to cooperate with and your actions influence your teammates. League is not the right game for you if you don't like the idea of having to cooperate with your teammates in champion select.

Not being 100% guaranteed a role? The only time I've been selected to play my secondary role is when I've listed my secondary as "Support", which may as well be the same as selecting your primary as "Support", given the low amount of Support players out there queuing up.

Bottom line, there's too much complaining about the new draft pick denying people's selfish ideals in a team-based game, and it's very off-putting.

Alot of people seem to think that because no one calls roll anymore in chat, nobody has to say anything to anyone because the role has been dictated [zombie-brand-mindblown] Like MACHINES!

Mhm. Agreed. I see all these complaints and these people work so hard. It's gut-wrenching to see how people treat other people for creating a game everyone can enjoy.

People just like to complain about everything. I do have to say the off-meta picks has always been interesting. After being in silver a couple seasons, then gold, now plat, each division handles them completely differently. Silver never welcomes off-meta picks. The majority of the time someone will say something bad about it. Gold was a 50/50. In plat, people rarely say something about an off-meta pick. However, this is also because at that rank the off-meta pick has usually be played a bunch by that person so they know what they are doing.
