The New Dodge System Sucks

Forcing players to lock in is stupid, if someone selects a champion last second or forgets about it while doing their masteries but have a champion selected they should not get punished. Not only does them being kicked out punish them but all the other player because they must go through the queue process again. With the new queue process taking so long this is aggravating, instead their champion should be autolocked just like old times.

TLDR - Autolocking a champ that someone has selected after the time runs out should be brought back.

P.S. please add back the countdown sound and make the game starting easier to realize

Having the timer run out on you while you are doing Runes and Masteries is really annoying and it is a decent argument for having the system autolock your selection for you.

The argument for kicking players that don't lock their champion selections in is that forcing them to lock reduces queue time because they can't let the timer run out. But if I don't have the proper Runes and Masteries set up yet, then maybe I'm be better off letting the system kick me rather than playing a game sub-optimally. And that means kicking players maybe is really increasing queue times, not shortening them. I guess you would have to look at some data before you could make a proper assessment and you probably can't get the data you need until the system settles in.

They had us get used to how we select champs for years, then change it. They are idiots, good thing they fixed it.
