a fix for the calling lanes problem.

TheInfinitePit·Mar 24, 2015·1 votes·1,733 views

Problem: we've all been there. you're the first one in champion select for a random match, you type mid/adc/ect faster than humanly possible, and 5 seconds later someone calls your lane claiming they were first. There's a problem with this: there's no way to actually verify, and some people will still not change even if all 4 other players agree they should do so. Solution: instead of "calling" why not put buttons on bottom reading "adc/jungle/top/mid/sup/"?? then the server could know exactly who called what first, and if you weren't fast enough, it could tell you. No arguing, or this needless pre game toxicity between team mates. just cold hard facts staring you in the face.

or you can just go the way RIOT says to go with pick order if u pick first then u pick what u want so on and so forth last pick is always stuck as fill if they refuse report and they will get banned eventually for trolling or you can just play with a team of your friends

this is mostly in regards to random matches, not ranked.

well then play team builder for random games

TheInfinitePitMar 24, 20151 votes

my experience with team builder is absurdly long wait times.

type 'respect pick order pls' and then ignore their callings and pick what you want and what is open

Well, what about this? I personally have a terrible computer and a spotty internet connection. Most days it's good, but sometimes I'm the last to connect to chat. Nothing I can do about that, because I live on campus, and don't have money for a super laptop.

But in the same idea of the buttons, why don't we just have people highlight the roles they're willing to play, so that we can be DECENT HUMAN F***ING BEINGS FOR ONCE and make the best decision based on who wants what position. If more people are happy with where they're placed, they'll probably play better. Maybe have a 20 second window before champions can be selected in blind pick, where people highlight their roles, and their button will have a colored highlight for if they prefer that position, and maybe it'll be grey to say that you'll fill the position, but it isn't optimal, and blacked out for if you cannot play that role.

y not just go to team builder then that basicly what your asking for is team builder to be added to all game modes

TheInfinitePitMar 24, 20151 votes

because team builder can take days.

Not if you main support.

TheInfinitePitMar 24, 20151 votes

i like to mix it up :) sometimes i love a good support game, sometimes id love mid. team builder is very specific. with random matches i dont want to choose spells, runes, character. i just would like to know what is open, and have a way to stop people from having fights before the game even starts. :)

on that note bro riot has stated several times in several threads that the pick order has precedence for champ selection if first pick wants adc and 5th pick calls it first pick gets it not 5th if 5th pick picks a adc anyway they they can be banned for up to 2months depending on how many times they have been reported and banned previously for this offence

not arguing or anything just pointing out riot has covered this subject a lot over the years now they should have a perm thread on it on one fo the board sections if they haven't already done so

Not really. When people in ranked draft pick say x/y/z pref, that's essentially what I'm suggesting only less free-form. You get your quick match selection, but you get a small grace period for your team to stop bickering about call order and decide what team comp they're going with, with a small feature (the pref/will fill buttons) to better organize the experience. This could also be something to monitor for when someone is reported for be uncooperative/trolling/unresponsive... etc.

I guess what we really need is an established set of rules for champ select in blind pick. In draft, I'm sorry, but if the person that selects their champion before you wants your role then they get it, but in blind pick, I guess if someone instalocks Fizz and goes mid, there's nothing to stop them and that's just not right. These kinds of things can ruin a game. :/

TheInfinitePitMar 24, 20151 votes

we're getting somewhere. :)

LciferMar 24, 20151 votes

they has already posted a thread on this subject several times clearly stating pick order is how your picks are made not calls yes some ppl preffer certain lanes and spots on the map but according to riot the pick order is the deciding factor not calls

but on this subject of bickering back and forth just be the bigger man and let the noob take what they want and play what ever isn't taken is what i end up doing a lot i main hiemer and with him only role i cant fill instantly is jungle i haven't figured out jungle hiemer yet one of these days ill figure it out and then i can play all roles with just one champ lol kinda like a really good GP can do it all top mid sup adc jungle altho adc GP isn't great if u play it right i have seen bot lane adc gp wreck whole teams in 1v5 fights but you gotta be really good at using GP for that one lol

Yeah, have fun telling that to blind pick. They're pretty unruly, and when you give people the ability to instalock... well, people are going to instalock. If they want pick order to be the order over call order, then they need to enforce it better than just saying that's the rules, but still giving you the ability to ignore those rules.

blind pick dont have any pick order, pick order it's for draft games where people cannot pick at the same time and should wait for their turn picking only 1 or 2 at a time, it's normal draft and ranked draft

don't play blind pick, play normal draft instead

DeloricVIMar 24, 20151 votes

I'm not complaining because I play blind pick. I pick draft because of my issues. I was just pointing what would make blind pick better, and palatable enough for me to possibly try it again.

LciferMar 24, 20151 votes

all u gotta do is report them for doing is u report it under unsportsman like conduct if they get reported enough for doing so they will eventully get banned one of my buddys use to do that crap all the time until his account got perm banned for doing it he had to make a new account to play anymore and he no longer instalocks ever because they locked a account he had spent well over $100 on to get champs and skins

nosaMMar 24, 20151 votes

Some don't care and will pick the role anyway

TheInfinitePitMar 24, 20151 votes

there will always be trolls. but at least by everyone on the team knowing who got what, reporting will be more likely. or maybe, the game could know by the selection where you are supposed to be and do something. idk. just looking to help. haha
