Ranked Timers

Could RIot increase the ranked timers on champion selection just a small bit? The current limit makes the entire thing feel rushed, and especially if your lane opponent just picked and you have 25 seconds to find a counter that fits your team comp before locking in, things get stressful and I have accidentally dodged a couple of times because of it. The punishment is also rather harsh (30 minutes, Riot, really? Low priority queue isn't even as bad as that and thats the ONLY punishment for afk'ing). Don't tell me to learn all the counters by heart pls, I'm too much of an idiot to do so, and I just want to say that an extra 5 seconds to find the champion on your page and click lock in would really help. Am I alone here?

lol. you're alone here. If you're going to play ranked then learn the counters for the champions you play so you can select within that time frame. Also, the dodge penalty should be an hour with loss of points IF ranked play was setup fairly (which its not). Dodging is a known strategy for many players and its a cancer but, the entire reason for playing ranked is for people to advance as high as possible in their tiers and advance to the next, rather than about being a good competitor and sportsman.

so, you're saying i should memorize the counters for all 127 champions in the game (Probably more since some new champions have been released) and for some reason making other people wait for another 10 seconds by accident deserves a 1 hour with LP loss? Ok... Im just saying that the timers could be increased by literally 5 seconds to allow for some wiggle room, not that dodging shouldn't be punished
