Punishment for Autolockers

LLAMA L1CKER·8/6/2015, 4:13:23 PM·6 votes·1,093 views

Recently, I've been noticing a trend in the blind pick game setting where more and more people are not getting the lane or position that they want, so they just say "screw you" and lock in the champ they want. I know that this sounds kind of elementary and dumb, but I think that this should be an issue that you should be able to report for tribunal review. It ruins entire games and honestly makes League of Legends a whole lot less fun when you have ignorant people autolocking after you have ALREADY called a role. Also, the people who typically do this blatantly say that they don't care because they know they can't get in trouble for it and there's nothing to stop them from doing it. Maybe that should change.

I think that LOL should make a point to at least TRY to end autolocking while they can. Considering this has happened in the last 3 blind pick matches that I've been entered into... It seems that this is getting to become a bigger and bigger problem with time and they honestly have no incentive to stop. Let's change that.

Please make this gain some attention if you hate autolockers and want to see them get officially punished!

Or, OR. People can stop treating Blind-Pick as if it's less of a game mode than any of the others by saying shit like "Wanna stop this problem? DON'T PLAY BLIND PICK!" -- Some people like it. Some people don't like draft mode. Some people don't feel like waiting 30 minutes to find an ADC or Support in Team Builder. I play draft mode, but that's only to get ready for ranked -- I used to play Blind Pick for the longest time. And it's annoying when people just auto lock something after another person called the roll first, AND locked in their champ for it. I say make it a reportable offense. It's not much different than trolling through the game, really.

That's the problem right here ... you are playing the shittiest mode that there is for normal games. But fortunately for you, there is already a solution; start playing Draft of Team Builder. Problem solved.

Please, stop playing "blind pick" already.

You want to punish someone because you typed 'mid plz' first? lol... Just play draft if it bothers you that much.

So lets be clear about something.

You want to be able to punish people because they didn't let you pick first and play the role you want, in a format with no pick order and no guarantee given from them that they won't pick it.

Im sorry, but that is rather ridiculous. You don't get to punish somebody because they didn't let you have your way. I understand that you called the position, but there is no obligation for them to give it to you.

Allowing a person to pick the role they called is not a mechanic of the game, its a courtesy some have offered. Nothing more, and nothing less.

This happens to me quite a bit too... Often, I'll just end up dodging, and then I get a ban! It's pretty annoying.:P

I'd just like to see a "Vote to boot" option added to ques.

Now if someone auto locks, Or starts trolling, or types nothing, The other 4 members of the que can vote to kick them back to the lobby. Maybe have it add another 30 seconds to the clock or so. This would help solve the MASSIVE botting issues in TT and Dominion as well!

Are you tired of people in blind pick instaloking Katarina or Leblanc ? Are you tired of seeing a snow-ball based champ like Katarina go 1/7 by 0:30 ? (happens in my games, don't ask how)

Here's the solution!!!!!!!!!!

Don't fucking play blind pick ever, go to team-builder, normal draft and ranked, fuck troll-pick

No: let ME get something straight.

Blind pick is an option for playing in League of Legends, is it not? So why shouldn't it be treated as equally as the others? I've been playing this game for 4+ years now, and autolockers have just recently started to emerge in larger numbers. I say punish them for doing so. There's absolutely no reasson they shouldn't. It's written in League's rules: so it SHOULD be enforced.

I play through all 4 game modes in summoners rift, but when I don't want to wait 15 minutes to play a game or don't want to automatically get last pick: I play blind pick. There's no reason for me NOT to want the rules enforced. I mean, unless you just want everyone in a Draft Pick to play ADC bot lane. Because if this doesn't get fixed: I can bet you that's what's next.

Nice argument though.
