Champ Select Lobby Chat

3Bies··1 votes·1,420 views

TL:DR Riot... allow players to see the chat from before they join lobby or add a keybind or such to call your lane on blind pick to avoid conflict in champ select.

You start a blind pick game wanting to go top so you can try out your new Teemo tilt skin, you call your lane as soon as you join the lobby being the first one there... SUDDENLY!!! Another player who joined totally after you joined the lobby and called top... The person is extremely convinced and may sometimes instalock even if the majority of your team argues against that person that it was "your" lane. I suggest Riot should change how the lobby chat works by allowing players to see the chat from before they join the lobby, the copy and paste the history text thing is just annoying now... Or even better! Maybe a keybind for a emoji or such to call your lane or something to show you got the lane you called first. I know there is the draft pick, but it's getting annoying on blind pick. The thing about draft is that you cannot pick the same champion if the opponent team has picked it, or someone banned the champion you were going to play.

If you want to play a specific lane, play draft.

I did write in the text that if your champ is taken or it's banned you cannot play it in draft, that's why I sometimes prefer blind. (Also its faster load screen :P)

I have to agree. You're likely going to get people saying "Just play draft if you wanna play ______ champion and ___ lane." I believe showing the chat from before joining would cut back on some of the issues. I for one have had this happen to me before, but I mostly play draft or ARAM now.

do a quick copy paste of the chat, back into the chat, sometimes makes it clearer for all.

People usually ignore that, plus when its all in white it's not convincing and no one really cares about that by then. They usually think you wrote it and its a fake so they take lane anyways...

Honestly showing the lobby chat from before your joined should be a thing anyway, not everybody loads in at the same time it would make it useful for people to be able to see what was said before they joined.

That being said those that autolock are likely to still go ahead and do so since they want that lane.

Yeah I know right? There are people like that.............. You know you're screwed when a Yasuo first-time tryhard takes your mid lane...

It would also help in aram a lot when somebody loads in after you and you've already asked if anybody wants the champion, they show the chat from your queue lobby so I don't see why they can't have it show from your game lobby, it just makes sense to have it happen.

I mean that is kind of the point of normals though, to take champions in game for the first time at least they are doing it in normals and not ranked.
