Queues are absurd

There is a clear issue when it takes 30 minutes just to get into a game.

This new queue system is an absolute failure for the following reasons:

  1. People don't know when its their turn to pick/ban until they only have 10 seconds left. The client gives absolutely no indication it is your turn to take action. You can literally watch people panic ban Yorick because of this. Nobody keeps their client open during the champ pick process because it is boring and takes too long. I don't know a single person who isn't alt-tabbed while they wait for the game to load.

  2. Wait, wait, and wait some more. You have to wait 5 seconds to pick the champion you want, and then 30 more seconds to watch other people pick. Then another 30 seconds to swap. I realize this was done to stop trolling, but it hasn't stopped anything. If someone is inclined to troll then they will find another way to troll. Not to mention I've actually seen people purposely ban a champ someone wanted. So in effect by trying to stop certain trolling methods you have created alternative trolling methods.

  3. Queue times are longer because of flaws in the matchmaking process. All you need to do is change it so people can only pick 1 role, and if no match is found for them with that role after a minute they get put in the fill queue automatically.

  4. There are still AFK's. There are just as many AFK's as before. Your system and its redudant "AFK Check" has not stopped it whatsoever. Most of the time people afk due to a real-life circumstance during the game, or because they're doing terrible and just quit.

Aww, I thought you were talking about SoloQ, cause taht %%%% is messed up... why does it even exist I mean? It shoudl jsut be teams, or at least that's all I'm gonan be playign from now on! You can't trust or know anyone in your SoloQ. Case in point: the anivia last game. Seemed friendly enough, looked good, anivia main, mastered, seemed solid, and was confident. First 15 minutes? Afk. ^No more soloq for me, friends!
