If you are unable to ban or select a champion, the game picks something random!

Sitting in champ select, try number 8 for this one. When you count out the number of AFKers not accepting the match that is.

Its been taking nearly 25 minutes now, and i havent even started a ranked game. Sorry, i mean, since i first got into one match, its taken 25 mins. Count the 5 mins searching for the first one too... and...

So, crazy idea here. If a person fails to select either a ban or a champion, auto set the choice to random.

The sheer thought of how humiliating it would be plunging into a game with annie as ADC or sona as jungler would fix most things when people cant lock in.

The point of it is an AFK check. This makes the whole thing pointless.

I don't want to play ranked with ADC annie on my team. I think I'll pass.

Its not an AFK check at the moment. Its a "pay attention to the screen" check. People forget to lock in, they surf the webs, grab a small bite, going to the toilet. They still come back in time for the game.

The afk check as it is now are unnessecary. AFKers are not a problem in LoL. Those that are "AFK" are mostly DCing cause of either local or serverside problems.

I rarley seee inactive players just standing there

.. and 2 weeks later people will start threads like: "Disable Autoselect, so annoying playing 20+ min. with people who got a champ that they can't play with".

I can get where your anger comes from, but I hope you get what I mean. Your "solution" would only cause more headache and nothing else.

but on the other hand, i could see at least a possible improvement for bans:

it would be nice if the other 4 teammembers could suggest champs for bans (softlock) and if the captain fails the bann, one of the suggested bans would be picked. This would at least solve a lil part of your problem and would be a nice QoL buff for the banphase. Communication would be easier/faster for bans and so on.
