Just why? For ages it's been an automated lock-in if you have a champion selected, and now by changing it, I have on numerous occasions accidentally dodged because I'm too used to having it lock in for me. Am I the only one? And what is the whole point of having to manually lock in. Does it benefit the players in some way?
Naristracrates1 votesI have literally asked the same question, and I got flamed for it. I have absolutely no idea what the reasoning is behind it.
BastionKross1 votesMost likely Riot actually wants you to be in champ select longer than it takes to pick a champ then play a game of Hearthstone or check Facebook or something.
LostFr0st1 votesThe reasoning behind the lock in mechanic was:
Games start faster now as long as people pay attention and don't dodge.
Naristracrates1 votesWith my experience champ select is actually longer. But what do I know lol.
skyspyke1 votesgonna necro this post becuase I still hate manual locking of every champ. sometimes i want to take every second to think about my choice. my experience is more missed champ selects because ppl (including me) forget to hit the lock in button. please, bring us auto-lock if a champ is selected!
