Add a lane/role swap during champ select.
I've had many-a-ranked game where in the lobby I would want to switch with somebody - but wouldnt because theres no real incentive for me to do so, only in emergencies, and even still i and most people wont step up, simply because despite filling as a support the system doesnt count it. My solution is simple:
Adding to the "champion swap"ability we get a "Lane/Role swap"
1: this means oblivious players in the chat don't freak over you going bot with lee sin 2: people who fill in champ select due to a lane swap get "fill" credit for it 3: people will be more likely to fill on the fly - for me personally the reason i dont do the fill is because Im not autofill protected. giving a polayer auto-fill protection is a nice incentive, and makes these kinds of incidents more likely to happen.
Abuse prevention: Something like this would basically mean that anybody at any time can do this to dodge autofill so here are some anti-abuse measures.
- limit trade to ONCE per lobby.
- Prompt the team via vote (at least 1 other) to validate the lane trade
- Lane trade between queued up pals is NOT allowed
- If the lane you swap for is one of the lanes you originally queued up for you are no-longer auto-fill protected.
If you have any more ideas for a system like this, as well as other thoughts, please leave them.
