Sound & Queue Dodging

Hello, Riot.

I see you have a new teambuilder system that requires 17 afk checks, or you say someone has dodged queue and give them fun penalties. Yippie. Because I just love being penalized for your design flaws.

Given the very long waits to get into a game I am not going to sit watching the teambuilder as every teammate picks stuff. It is more exciting to watch paint dry. I'm going to be tabbed out looking at my email, or facebook, or reading the news, all while listening to my sweet tunes. That is normal. Its what I have been doing since I started playing League.

However, in a nice twist, you have somehow jacked the settings so that I cannot figure out how to turn off the annoying voices and music in character select without also turning off the audible notification that it is my turn to press one of those 17 afk check buttons.

So listen up. I'm not going to turn on your SFX because I am listening to music, and I don't want to hear your annoying background music or character voices 25 times while I go through multiple queues. Neither is anyone else. Please fix it so that I can get audible pings when it is my turn to press whatever stupid button you need me to punch to prove I am not afk. I just want those audible noises, not any of the other 'atmosphere' you designed. I don't want that garbage.

And please make it easy for me to do this. If you don't, then I, and everyone else, will keep missing when the 17 afk checks come up. Because we are tabbed out looking at other stuff, and don't know its our turn to push the afk button because we have to chose between listening to our tunes, or turning of SFX.

Has anyone found a workaround for this?
