i dont think we should be penalized for this. ive already had 2 waits since ive not locked in and countless for not making a ban. this should be up to the player. i really dont know why we are getting booted for not locking in. i dont have the best computer and it takes a second or two for the lock button to even go orange so i am able to click it and by that time the time runs to zero. i can see if im afk sure penalize away but when you choose a champion and forget to lock in and then you have to wait for 30 mins just because you missed a ban the que before is crazy. please stop with the penalties. this is my first post so im not sure where i should be posting this.

Honestly, if you aren't paying attention to the game, then you should definitely be punished. There's more to picking and banning that goes on in Champ Select. This is where you communicate with your team, look at your team composition, look at the enemy team composition, and decide on what the best decision of the previously stated picks and bans should be. If you aren't paying attention to this, you are already handicapping your team by not being able to make the best decisions due to lack of information.

If you won't pay attention to the game, fuck off, don't play it, it's that simple. We don't want you here. Nobody likes someone who only plays League as a backdrop, plays like shit because he "has a life outside the game" and calls all the people playing to win "tryhards". Seriously, fuck off.

While I do agree that you shouldn't be playing if you aren't participating every moment of it or you're lagging, I believe players should have the freedom to choose not to ban anything. True, leaving out a ban generally causes more harm than good, but that's an opinion and we can't force it onto everyone. But then again, this is my opinion and riot set it the way they deem fit.

I got penalized for trying to lock in a ban, but League didn't lock in. Got a screenshot too. Sucks. I wish we could get those points back since it was the client's fault.
