@RiotLYTE on forcing lock ins.

Arcade Andrew··1 votes·630 views

I understand why you think it's a good idea right now to force lock ins or boot them

But also punishing players who don't lock in?

Hear me out: when I enter champ select and pick a champ after bans I NEVER LOCK IN For a few reasons

One: instalocking is a bit rude Two: what if somebody just gets back as I lock in and then they can't have a say on who I might want to pick

Three: regarding the above: I utilize all the time I have(which is extended by roughly 1-3 seconds) without locking in (the time it takes fir the game to basically say: hey you didn't lock? Ok well were locking you in now? Ok? Cool!)

Those last few seconds can be very important for last second trades or picks.

Four: I know this is ranked team builder but ranked IS a game mode where in order to have the best win % and chance you must be pretty flexible and have a good plan time.

Five: my personal note on punishing players just because they don't lock in: that's ridiculous to do, and right when you do it there will be plenty of people who get pissed that they have to wait 10-30 minutes and they lost 3-6 lp because they didn't bother reading the update or don't know how it works

wait what? You can't just let the timer run anymore? What if you are debating strategy? Why the fuck are you being punished for using all the time you are allowed?

If you don't lock in: You are kicked and punished like a Q dodge

that is ridiculous. This is one change that I cannot tolerate. It only promotes more instalock toxicity, reduces time for strategic players to think and serves literally no purpose, since you can lock in 1 second before the timer runs out anyhow.

If you keep up with lytes ask fm it's going to start in ranked team builder and possibly more

I tend to lock in sometimes, or I won't depending. If I don't lock in, it is usually because I am lower in the pick order and need that extra time to tweek my masteries on the fly, or create an entirely new page. Sure that doesn't take long, but I don't want to feel rushed trying to set that all up.
