If its ranked, pls dont lol. If its normals, why not just go blind pick or even bot/custom games to try him out?

If Riot would make bots even slightly competitive or at least have normal stats and not be retarded it'd be ok to so you can get an idea of what their kit is capable of doing/what works instead of going into bots and building pure tank and go 10/0 then get into a real game and realize it's a terrible idea

Fun fact: You're more than twice as likely to get to play a new champion in Blind Pick than any other pvp game mode!

However, you have to compete with other people on your team trying to do the exact same thing.

While in Draft you've got to hope you're lucky enough to be high up in the pick order.

Same problem, just manifest in different ways.

All avoided by teambuilder. The only issue is people all want to play the exact same role but too lazy to wait for a team that doesn't already have that spot filled. Other than that Teambuilder was the perfect system

I ALWAYS ban new champs in ranked. Liars saying they have PBE accounts have ruined new champs for me.

I tend to report liars that do that kind of thing. Ruining games by lying about smurfhood / PBE new champion in ranked in order to get what they want is fairly offensive to me

It's called Blind Pick, where you can make stupid picks with the rest of the monkeys.

It's still a race to get him.

Then rig the race in your favor. Start a custom game, mouse over Ivern, memorize that exact spot on the screen, leave the lobby, start a regular game, hit accept, and spam-click that spot as the lobby starts. Excellent chance you'll get the champion you want.

It's still a race to get him.

And that's different from Draft Pick how?

In Draft Pick, you've got bans that can remove the champion, and you've got the pick order, and you've got players on the other team that can take away the champion. You're racing your own team and the enemy team, but it's slowed down by Riot.

In Blind Pick, the only thing that can take away your champion is the "pick order".

You're more than 2 times as likely to get the champion in Blind Pick as Draft Pick, all things being equal.

Pick him first, call a lane second.

Just give them a week, you're unlikely to get the champion in anything but blind pick when the champ's fresh out the office.

why is this so true

You mean to tell me that a champion on release day is so overwhelmingly popular that the 7800 IP you spent on a 6300 IP champion didn't guarantee you a chance to play him the minute you bought him?

That's so weird. That's weird, right? Isn't it weird? It's pretty weird if you ask me. So weird.
