Is Pick Order a Rule?

Rieiid··2 votes·956 views

Not asking for peoples opinions, but facts, whether it is actually a rule to follow pick order in champ select. I've hated people for not following pick order and hear others complain about it too, but it's not an option as a reason to report in game, so I'm confused as to whether or not this is actually against the rules, or if it's just a douche move?

Just a douche move. There is no clear indication or words that state that pick order HAS to be followed.

However, Riot did states when they took out pick order by ELO earlier season4 ( or late season 3 i forgot), that people SHOULD communicate among team mate and make the BEST judgement for the team.

Pick order is supported by riot. http://forums.na.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?p=37793026

But it's not a rule. A quote from that original post in your link, "We are endorsing it, but not mandating it."

The point of pick order is to have a pick order.

No, the point of pick order is to balance out champion selection between teams.

It was stated that pick order is the rule that is above all if everything else fails. I don't have a source because it was long ago.

yeah we all love pick order because 2 players getting the role they want is better than all 5. Duh. "riot supports it so"

...........Blugh. Screw Pick Order. If we had a better community it wouldn't be necessary because we'd all let eachother have what we need to have to win. but unfortunately this team game is all about one person thinking they're the shit

YOu're retarded, how is pick order ruining whoever gets his main? If you got 2 mid mains you got 2 mid mains regardless of order.

if you have 2 mid mains perhaps you can figure out which one of you does better at another role. my point is mainly for the 5th pick person that gets stuck with whatever everybody else doesnt want. Not sure why you are personally attacking and name calling - but good on you mate.
