Matchmaking

I just want to play jhin. I don't want to play any other champ, and I am perfectly fine waiting 15 minutes to get a game where I can play him. But can I? No.

In draft pick, other team mates can see that I pick him. Then they ban what I picked. Then I leave. And of course, I get queue dodge for 15 minutes. Do I care about the queue dodge? No. I just go play dota, or starcraft or HOTs while the ban ends.

If the ban lasted longer, or didn't cooldown while I was off doing other things, what would I do? I would probably quit lol. Permanently.

It didn't used to be this way. When I wanted to play a champ, I could. There was the team builder. Now, I am a toxic queue dodger because I just want to play that one champ. And there is the draft pick. And the bans.

1st recommendation. there are lots of trolls on lol. Lots of them. If they see you pick a champ, they will ban your pick. So disable that feature in draft. If a teammate picks a champ, you should not be allowed to ban their pick.

2nd recommendation. There are many people, like me who just want to play a specific champ. They don't want to go through the hassle of picking and banning. They want what they want, and they really do not care about who they get as team mates. I was not able to play a game of lol tonight or last night, because of the draft/ban pick bs that riot thinks we want.

3rd recommendation. you can say go away, we don't want your kind, you're toxic, you're a queue dodger. I will leave. But I am not the only one who will leave. And when we leave, who will you play with? I recommend you think about the consequences of just ignoring average players who don't care about elo. We don't care about rank. I haven't played a single ranked game in the past because getting into them is so much of a hassle. I buy champions. I pay. I don't want to have the whole ranked experience foisted on me. And that is what I feel has been done. Will I be buying another champ? After two days of waiting to play jhin against people for the first time, I am not so sure. I probably won't buy another champ. Will I play still? Maybe. Is this a breakup? I don't know.

I mean, he deserves to be broken, the only people who counter him is assasins but if he has protection and decent kiting then its so easy for him to beat anyone, i mean he is like a better version of graves and graves is op! Just too much damage............ And dont even get me started on his abilites, his crits, and his ult.

How about just... Not playing draft? Like, I don't really get it; why would you play draft if you complain about the existence of banning there? Isn't draft picking made exactly for the ability to ban a few champions? In blind pick I almost always get the champion I want, the bigger trouble is who calls which lane first, although that is often ignored by some total dicks. I am pretty sure that actually starting a game with the champion and lane you want to start it with is a lot easier in blind pick than in draft.

Btw, I've only found this thread searching for other people who have the same problem as me: I play LoL since the 1st season, but I wasn't playing it regularly at all, sometimes making breaks for full 2 months or maybe even more, but I often found time for bot games for those 1st wins. So now I have over 900 wins on bots and not even 400 wins in normal matches. But still for some reason it seems like almost everyone I play with is matched with me based on how old my account is - not how much wins or "hidden elo" I have. I'm often getting matched with players who have over a 1000 or even 2000 wins, when I am simply a "bot game scrub". That results in me being very often the anchor of my team, seeing how I actually have a lot less experience than any single one of them in actual normal games. There has to be some way of fixing this, or- I don't know - resetting that "hidden normal game elo"? It's as if I was a reverse-smurf: A noob unintentionally getting matched with a lot better players than him to get steamrolled (instead of: A high-level player intentionally getting matched with noobs to steamroll them).
