the "Lock in" issue
Dear Riot,
I play ranked almost very often in League since season 3. And the issue I am wanting to ask and hopefully this issue can be resolved with a few changes in regarding of the lock in button during champion select. The new dynamic queue made some good improvements and i appreciate it for what it is for ranked, however the main issue I want someone from Riot to fix is the lock in button. The reason is because in the past in the old solo queue days as long as I am hovering over the champion I selected, even if the timer runs out it still goes through. but in dynamic queue, that is not the case. I can see why this is in the game for the banning phase and if someone DIDN'T hover over a champion he or she wants to play, then it is fair to boot the person off the champion select with a queue time penalty. But just because i didn't lock in while I'm hovering over the champion, the game should not always force me to lock in even though i am hovering the champion i selected. i just end up losing 6 lp unnecessarily due to this and the situation in our own home may vary if I want to get off to do something as long as I hover over the champion. Not to mention that you can declare what champion you want to play at the beginning but it does not count as you selected until after banning phase, fine but should count after banning. This may be a small rant but I just want this small issue to be fixed and i would appreciate it if riot did something about this. Anyways Thank you for reading and see you guys on the rift.
