I just wasted my friend's time for 35 minutes.
So my friend I always play with invited me to another draft mode game, I was tired of playing support so neither of us picked support and was in queue for about 10 minutes, after 10 minutes we re-queued and had the same get into game then someone dodges, over and over. One of the times the afk check thing came up I said yes then someone didn't click it then 1 second after that it popped up again, and I hit it immediately but my mouse moved so I accidentally hit decline. Wasting the time that we had been in queue so far. I wish that there was a way to click accept if you already hit decline if you hit it before the time goes out or before everyone else decides. Same with accept if something happens between the time you hit accept and the time it actually finishes. We go back into queue then 35 minutes into trying to get a game, we finally get one, I chose mid and top as my 2 choices and he chose top and bot. I decided I was going to go bot so he could get top like he wanted and so it gets to my turn. I pick Draven but I wasn't sure if that's the adc I want so i'm thinking as the timer goes down then it reaches 0 and i'm like oh I guess i'm playing Draven but then it kicks out, thinking that someone dodged but no, I dodged because I didn't realize we had to "lock" in the champion ????.
Now I just wasted my friend's time even more and after that I just left because I felt so bad. I feel like we shouldn't have to lock in our champion, the fact that we clicked someone should be enough of an afk check, especially since I picked someone else different than the one I picked in the "who I want to play" part. Because of the stupid lock in thing I wasted my friends time and made me feel super bad about it, and now it counts as a dodge on my account when I didn't realize. Also I wish the old team builder was still a thing. I liked picking my champion and then seeing my whole team before deciding to play. I also loved team builder if I wanted to try something off meta as in team builder everyone agrees that they want to play with you where as in the queues now they're just stuck with what you want to play.
TL;DR
• There should be option during draft mode afk check to switch from decline to accept if it's before everyone else decides or before time runs out and vice versa.
• There shouldn't be a lock button for draft mode as there isn't for normal queue type and picking the champion it's self is enough of an afk check.
• The old team builder should be brought back please.
