Can we talk about the new draft mode/ranked que?

I** actually love this new system, this is the way I imagined it since day 1.** Now they just have just have to iron out the kinks and the game will be great again. I'm actually satisfied with many of the changes riot has made: including this one. But right now, i feel like As much as i'm loving it... I have found a couple of flaws with the system that i want to address.

-people queing in as a role but then taking a different role. how can we minimize this?

-the entire que is way to complicated, and requires too much interaction. Its incredibly clunky. I already have a 20min que ban because I didn't know i was supposed to ban someone 2 or 3 times... As a positive player who proactively likes to play this game, I have never been banned before or even knew you could get 20min que ban or whatever that is. I can only imagine what its like for other people. How do we minimize this so we can get on with the game?

-the clunkiness may be adding to the que time. That and several flaws that don't account for normal players, and have been simply added in for the sake of E-sports have increased the que times to intoxicating levels. For example, its completely unnecessary for the last 3 people to each ban a person, it was much easier when only one person had to do this. And also the Pre-selection selection is unnecessary. So this is generally what it looks like: you have to click ready, then ready again, then possibly ready a third time and then select your champion, and then select a ban, and then select your champion again, and then check to see you have the right masteries/summoners/skin etc. Hell, it gives me a headache having to keep track of it all; and that's only when the whole process works perfectly!

-Not only that but there are so many games being dropped because other people are also finding it hard to stay focused on this confusing system. And then you get people actually dropping the game because they genuinely don't what other people pick, the bans, etc. The que times add up incredibly quickly... And you have to start the whole clunky process from the very beginning.

These are a couple problems i see with it at first glance, I know there are others. IF you know theres another problem with the system speak up and let riot know about it.

all of these points are player-caused, once people get used to the new system they should all be fixed, aside from the first one, which can be fixed by targeted 9-man reports. i'm sure the enemy team would gladly add to the 4 reports he's already guaranteed to get if asked, as everyone knows how frustrating it can be.
