The new Champion Select/Pre Game lobby is far too slow for the new fast paced League.
With all the work that that Riot has put in to making the game faster paced, the new Champion Select and pre game lobby takes WAY too long. I spend about a minute and a half in queue, which honestly doesn't bother me. The problem is when we get into the champ select. Prior to even picking/banning, every players has 40 seconds to choose a champion that they would like to play, to let their teammates get an idea of how they're going to be playing that game i assume, but in this 40 seconds you can not lock in, so its just 40 seconds before all the picks and bans. In the actual P&B phase each player has 40 seconds to decide what champion they want to ban, all 6 players get 40 seconds for bans. 240 seconds... 4 minutes waiting for bans, at max, then all 10 players get 40 seconds for each individual pick. That's 6+ minutes just for the players to pick, because it is per individual now, not where it used to be 2 players picking at the same time. After all of that, spending 15 minutes in the pregame lobby, lets say your last pick doesn't lock in their champ...... there now you have to start the entire dreadful process over again. And surely people will accidentally dodge for not locking in their champion, or ban for that matter. For a player that's used to being in and out of champ select in ~5 minutes this change is miserable to sit through. By the time i get into game I've already lost my motivation to play the game. The flashy artwork is nice and all, but i don't want to admire it for half for the time i'll be spending in the following game.
