Blind Pick Game Mode needs to be replaced with a new "Normal Mode" to stop all the bickering.

A typical blind pick goes as following. Queue for the game, get matched, type into chat frantically the lane you want, usually spamming it. Argue over the lane while timer counts down. Watch the person who was second leave the game or play the lane anyway even though they were second to call it and lose the game to a better prepared group. This leads to endless bickering and un-fun game play. This can be easily solved with a "Normal Mode".

Normal mode requires a user to pick two lanes similar to draft mode but there are some differences. If a user is dead set on playing a lane they can pick that lane and not fill in the second choice. Now this might dramatically increase their match up time but that is their choice. If they have flexibility they can pick more than one lane including fill as their second choice. In addition in Normal Mode, there are no bans of champions, the players don't get to see the other champ selections until the game starts just like blind pick now and they can play the same champ the other team selected.

Although this wouldn't completely stop all the bickering, it would make it significantly less and make games much more enjoyable. What is even better is that RIOT already has all of the tools to make this happen. Combined with my thread on blocking matchups in the player behavior forum this would be awesome and change the feel of the community.

Blind is meant for quicker queues at the risk of not getting your preferred role. If you don't have a good computer do not play blind; just play draft where you can get a position you want and ban a champion.

Having a good computer has nothing to do with it. I want a good environment. You have not refuted any of the reasoning I gave nor provided any reasons why such a mode would wreck the game.

Riot enjoys seeing us go at each other... eventually kill off each other.

A Normal mode like u mentioned should have been done long time ago... Instead of this cancer queue now.

Or they could simply show your preferred roles to other players. ONE SIMPLE THING, BUT...

edit: tldr, RIOT DOES NOT CARE ENOUGH.
