Camille instalocks causing insane queue times in Blind Pick

I just sat in blind pick queue for 4 minutes collectively when it was est. 1 minute. This does not count the 11 lobbies I got into where someone instalocked Camille before even calling a role, then someone dodged because they wanted to play her, 11 times in a row! With those dodges included, I waited about 15 minutes for a real game to start, then it was a 20 minute slaughter fest. I'm not even tempted to queue up again because I know that it's gonna be a living hell. If Team Builder were still a thing, people who want to try Camille wouldn't have to instalock, or dodge matches, (Or actually play her the correct way by calling top before anyone else, THEN choosing her) because they could queue up, already locked onto Camille. And if you pick her in Ranked or Normal Draft (Good luck with that, her ban rate is high, in my ELO at least) you will be flamed because nobody believes in your ability to play a brand new champion, and neither do I, but how can you practice when normals are so chaotic? This isn't a problem exclusive to this champion release either, it happens whenever a new champ comes out and I think a fix of some kind should be considered.

Happens with every new champ release for the first few days.

It happened with Xerath, it happened with fizz, viktor etc...

It will happen with the next champ that comes out.

What's causing insane queue times is not instalocking Camiles, what's causing queue times is salty people leaving, because they somehow delude themselve into thinking Blind Pick = Their Oyster.

You can go to Ranked or Draft and just play someone else for a few days while Camille is permaban; she's not going anywhere. Next week, when the hype has died down, you can try her out and people will flame you less.
