Champ Selection Connect Order

I tend to have a slower connection than most other players, just enough to play, but not enough to get to connect to champ select before anyone else. I'm always the last one there.

This creates a problem with calling roles. I'm constantly fighting to get a role that I want. I main supp, but can play top, and am learning to play mid champs. I can't do this when I can't even call that role at champ select due to the fact that it's called before I even get to the camp select.

A couple things could help this. One, doesn't solve it, but helps, is by saving a chat log and appending it to everyone's screen when they connect to champ select. That way they can see what's been called and said from before their arrival. Two, perhaps a wait timer, where the client waits for everyone to connect before displaying, or allowing, chat and champ select. (not sure if a wait timer is already used in the current client).

It tends to make it hard to learn a new role and progress as a player when I have a less likely chance of getting the roles I'm learning. As compared to someone with a better connection. I'm stuck with roles that are less played, and less called at champ select, or roles that I simply can't play at the moment, such as jungle.

Just my thoughts, thank you for reading.

Do team builder and draft pick, not blind pick where it's first come first served.

They just now added your first idea in this new patch, also if you want to try and get a role try to do Draft pick instead of blind pick and if you do get stuck in Jg, try and take that time to practice and get better at a role you weren't good at before

play draft, problem solved

it's also better practice for the pick/ban phase

as well as never getting insanely unrealistic lanes
