It annoys me when we get into queue and NO ONE but me uses the intent pick feature.

I've stopped using it since that one time a guy banned my champion because I didn't want to give him jungle and he flammed me the whole game for it. Now I only use it after the banning phase.

Because everytime i do, someone bans my champ and says "its an honest mistake", then they get upset when i ban theirs. Like stfu you don't use the first ban in the game on singed

Because it's misused.

Any time of the day you increase the chance of having your champion banned, simply because you used the pick intent feature.

cause some people ban your champion so you cant play them, better not show

Let me guess, you intend to pick karma?

But on a more serious note, I will generally only use it when I have no intention to adapt for anything(like when I particularly feel like playing a certain champ) otherwise I won't pick anything as I intend to adapt to our own team and the enemy's.

I don't use it because 90% of the time, I'm playing yasuo, and my team assumes I suck dick with my main. They then proceed to pick a team around me, rather than play champs they know, just because they do t want me to be "useless". To stop my team from neutering itself based on my pick, I don't use pick intent

or even better: they cry that I banned their champ and then proceed to lose the game with a retarded dicksucking pick

two main reasons i do not use it.

1. Your teammates bans you out because they dont want you to play x champ

2. If someone dodges, there is a high chance your previous teammate will be on the other team and ban you out.

True

Reason why is your champion is more or less likely to be banned.im safe since I'm a support so everyone wants my champion on their team.but one of my Duo partners loves to play Sol but it seems my own teammates ban him on purpose

I use to not use it as often, because people would maybe see that I had a losing streak an ban my champ. Sometimes people would ask for my role and I would tell them I rather not switch and then they will ban my champ.

I started using it a bit more, but that's probably because I play ranked more often with one or two friends. I want our randoms to know what our comp will look like.

I use it when i know what i want to play. Half the time i dont really know what i want to do.

no what are you talking about? is an AMAZING team comp... for the enemy team if you fail to snowball.

Well a bit of it can be summed up with people wanting to choose their pick according to enemy team, but other times people are AFK till they pick.

What if i want to go supp and my "teammate" ban my champ because he want a "real support" ?

It's even more annoying when you're afraid to talk to your team because they might be premades.

What annoys me is how rarely i see all 5 hovering Bard. Best use of that feature.

I don't use pick intent until after banning phase if at all, because there are too many brainless, raging, flavor-of-the-month suckers that somehow think banning my main will improve my performance. To be honest, I don't really care if you think a champion is underpowered. If we are getting match-made together, then we have similar MMR. If I am steadily climbing ranked playing Yorick and Zac support, and you feel the need to ban my picks because they're "unviable," "troll," or "garbage," meanwhile while you are stuck in silver, playing Zed/Ekko every damn game, then you are only insulting your own lack of skill.

Pick intent was a shitty feature. Riot should have kept team builder for the noobs.

Draft is about adapting to what the enemy is picking, not locking in champs before you see their picks. The entire system was busted from the beginning and only caters to the stupid and lazy who can't be bothered to learn the game.

Its probably the most backward and pointless phase of the new champ select.

Scenario 1: "here, show your team the shitty champion you're about to pick so they can ban them from you" Scenario 2: "Here, show your team the champion you want to play" ....summoner: "I dont care what comp we run, im playing teemo" Scenario 3: _"Here, put nothing in here so your team can't complain OR Ban what you're about to pick." _

Tell me, which seems the best choice to you?

I one up you; you pick intent someone, and someone purposely picks your intent to be a dick.

Funnnn [slayer-jinx-unamused]

If people stop banning my pick intent then sure I'll use it,

agreed

I'm a Soraka main, so I don't even bother to declare a pick if I'm a late pick because in my elo it isn't uncommon for top, mid, and jungle to all decide that they wanna fucking pick low utility squishy carries. I don't take Soraka into those comps.

It's better than before. At the beginning, pick intent made everyone decide what they wanted at the start. People did not change their pick regardless of comp, because they showed what they wanted to play, other people are supposed to pick around them, right? It made people selfish as shit, so other players started banning shitpicks, and now noone uses pick intent unless they want to let their team know "Hey, I'm picking Shaco, please pick around me and don't ban Shaco", in which instance it is working as intended in my opinion, letting their team know to ban that useless champion.

And after you ban a champ they say "omfg i was going to play that champion you idiot why did you ban him!"

It's almost like people go into a queue without a clear notion of who exactly they want to play...

About 20% of the time when I show my pick intent someone bans it just for the luls. Probably happened about three times in my first 15-20 games when the new system came out and I was using it. I have yet to have my champ banned while not showing my pick intent, so thats why I dont use it at least. Creates a good chance that i will have to play another champ, and I really only play league to play 1 champion which I fell in love with.

I appreciate what riot was thinking with the pick intent feature, its just a decent segment of the population get there jollys by ruining other people enjoyment, soooo yup!
