Protesting "Locking In" Champs

I can't tell you the amount of times I have been kicked from a lobby simply because I didn't lock in the champ I had SELECTED, due to the fact that I was using the remaining time to select runes, masteries, and summoners. Not to mention that I have never had the -need- to lock in champions before, why hassle me with kicks and long wait times now?

Its a sad story to say that I have been unintentionally dodging a lot of games because of this, but its true. The concept behind this decision seems without cause. If I have the champion I want to ban/use selected, why is it essential that I lock it in? I am obviously there and clicking 'things' -- I am aware of the decisions being made -- so what's with the unnecessary step of forcing the 'lock in'?

TL;DR -- The new system to forces you to dodge unless you lock in the champ you have SELECTED is pretty dumb. Also, the new patcher isn't popping up in front of other windows when its your turn. Fix please?

Hasn't been a big problem to me, but it seems to be completely without cause and so when other people have problems with it, I have trouble seeing why Riot included it in the new champion select in the first place.
