Making a Last Second Decision in Champion Select

Sometimes I realize that the champion I reserved doesn't fit the composition well or outright gets banned. No problem, just substitute whomever I was going to choose with a better option. Being ~5-8 to pick, lots of things can change such as Lee Sin getting picked for Jg and Malphite top, so what's needed is someone with durability, and bruising potential. I obviously wouldn't pick Jg Lissandra in such a case. So I scroll through the list of my many champions and decide on my pick being Olaf. In the final moments I forget to "Lock-In" my pick, despite selecting him during the loud countdown. My mistake. Now I have waited a total of 30min to get into a game because this happened twice in a row. I learned nothing.

Bottom-Line, if a champion is selected during the final 5 Seconds of Champion select, set the lock-in status bool to "Yes", "1", "ROCKEDANDREADY" or whatever you have it labeled as, I don't really care.

If I'm actively making a selection during the final moments, I have confirmed my pick.

Please stop putting me in a corner because I don't press your shiny "Lock-In" button quick enough. Even when I do press it late, it takes a half-second to communicate that to the server and I get kicked out. I sometimes make last-second decisions constantly, that's League in a nutshell to me.

Anybody with these same feels can share them here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBWI0qQWZyo

This is why once I get to the last five seconds I lock in w/e I have selected and to hell with coordinating with my team.

I do feel that this necessity to lock in was unwarranted and would prefer it removed asap. Also foes the lcs have to lock in too or face a queue dodge? If so hw long before that happens at a tournament halfway through picks fucking up an entire game

I don't remember having to lock-in during S1-5 draft ever. This is something totally new. It's not in my muscle memory at all to "Lock-In" picks 12 times just to get into a game.

I'm starting to wonder if I'm the only player here with this problem. Senior player issues.

Now that I think about it, There are six options in the Que menu. However, there should be seven, and the missing option is "Feed". So we can literally que up as "mid or feed"
