Disable ability to lock champions in nonranked play

Everybody here loves autolockers right? Oh wait, no, no we don't. I'm not sure why autolocking is a choice. Sure, theoretically we could shave a minute off of every champ select screen but in my 2000 games I've never seen that happen once. I'm talking about blindpick of course, all I ever see is the autolocker who forces the team to choose around him or start a game with low morale, two tops and no support. I feel like it should be disabled for blindpick.

Locking is fine in ranked because everybody should be coordinating with the team and quickly locking that last pick can sometimes throw off the enemy team.

Locking is also fine for custom and Bot games because those games are more about having fun and training.

If you don't like it then play draft normals and not blind pick. There's no fair way in blind pick to know who gets what role instead of "oh i said mid first".

You could report them for refusing to communicate with team. But you have to ask everyone, sometimes you join later than the person who locked in first.
