Initial "show who you want to play" - champ select
You guys forced us to lock in our picks and bans to increase the speed at which a game is created - However, you completely went against this idea when you gave us 40 seconds to initially "show who we want to play" before the bans start. This is completely counter-productive, goes unused by half the players in my experience, and just adds problems rather than helping the champ selection process.
- It's a waste of 40 seconds. If you are serious about speeding up champ select, then eliminate this.
- It creates more opportunities for people to troll you. Whether you wish to accept it or not, people get a kick out of bugging strangers on the internet. Banning their hopeful choice is just annoying - which is exactly what some people seem to enjoy. To counter this, most people don't pick a champion at all, or pick someone they don't plan on playing just incase they find themselves in a game with one of these undesirable individuals.
It may be I am alone in this thinking, but I think this is a completely unnecessary part of the champion selection process and I would prefer if it would be removed so that we could get the queues moving - we already have to wait over 3 minutes just for a plat/gold ranked game to get going. I know it's only 40 seconds but it all adds up.
