Tried some champion select strategy last game.

Our jungle was autofilled jungle, so he asked our mid if he could swap jungle for mid. Mid said no, so our jungle bitterly stayed jungle, but he wasn't going to play anything other than Fizz.

So we're off to a rocky start 10 seconds into champion select. We make it through our bans and the enemy chose to ban thresh and blitzcrank. I wondered what kind of bot duo they were trying to protect from all-ins. I was weary if they were trying to play a poke or sustain lane. I got first pick so I chose Fizz because our jungle was going to play Fizz no matter what. I wanted to see what their bot lane was going to look like and they immediately started calling me a troll for picking Fizz. I told them that I wanted to see what they were picking, but I was still a troll.

This is where champion select strategy fails. This part right here is why Riot needs to make a change to the trading system.

I told my Fizz jungle that I knew I was going to play Ezreal, Soraka, Janna or Nami.....He said he only owned Soraka and Ezreal. In the end I took Soraka as their last pick was their support; I couldn't see it, which is fine.

What wasn't fine was the flawed 'champion select strategy' of swapping champions as to not reveal your early picks. He was unable to pick the champions I wanted, even though I could pick his. I think what we need to do is be able to swap positions in champion select if we aren't going to allow all champions available for all to swap.

For instance. I was first pick, so I picked Fizz. Let me swap my champion or position in picking for 4/5/8/9th picks at that time or before we choose champions. This keeps all champions barred from newer players so Riot still makes money on them buying and gives champion select it's strategy in the game.

It seems like a win-win change to me.
