Force Players To Stay Active in Champ Select

So tired of people AFKing at Champ Select.

Last game, support and jungle were autofilled in opposite roles, (support was jungle main, jungle was support main [also how the hell is riot matchmaking so poor this happens?]) so the support offers to swap roles.

Jungle player was afk.

Game ends, both were 1/9 and were the reason we lost.

I'm at the point where if a player doesn't know how to play their role (ESPECIALLY JUNGLE!!!) we are almost guaranteed a loss.

Allow me to "ping" someone in champ select every 10 seconds or so

If they don't click a button or checkmark or something the game treats that person like they dodged

It's a drastic solution but the amount of games I have lost because someone was AFK is unbearable

That would be a terrible idea. Im ready for when im picking (I usually dont lock in till like 1 second left) and some asshole pings me and it pops up in my face so i cant lock in and I get a dodge.

Often I lock in and alt tab to do something. Ive VERY rarely AFKd a game by accident by not being at the PC when the game starts. (Like maybe twice in 5 years) But if you instated this i would get hundreds of dodges. This is just a terrible idea.
