I play normal blinds to play fast matches, but I also just wanna play the role and champ I wanna play sometimes. Plus blind pick's role calling method is too archaic to be relying on when we have actual role assignment nowadays.
LoliKnight2 votesBut that's the purpose of blind pick. Just get into game fast. I loathe blinds so whenever Draft gets disabled on our server, I just play Guild Wars 2 instead. Blind is the most cancerous thing I've had the experience of dealing with, since cigarettes. That being said, I agree there should be some means of role calling, but then what would be the purpose of blind as opposed to Draft??
OyddAWqJ5r2 votesYou can't see enemy picks and you can't ban. But by adding in-lobby role selection you can actually play the role you want to play.
LoliKnight1 votesBut the purpose of blind is what riot terms and I strongly disagree with the notion of: "Healthy Queue Times" .While the Queue times of blind are insane, the actual Queue is a collection of instalocking 12 year old wanna be cyber bullies.
If your proposed change is implemented, Riot will gain Healthy Queues but lose on Healthy Queue Times, and that means less time spent playing the game by players. That's a direct loss in the eyes of Riot.
OyddAWqJ5r1 votesHealthy Normal Blind and healthy Normal Draft essentially have the same healthy queue times.
It healthily matches you with the closest healthy people to your healthy skill level but is nowhere near as healthily picky as in healthy ranked, that's what makes it healthily faster. Healthy role selection has an extremely, extremely minor effect on healthy queue times.
LoliKnight2 votesHowever Riot healthily disagrees with your perfectly healthy statements aimed at bringing more healthy gameplay to the healthy people of the world. I wish I could supply you with the context from a red post, but there's been healthy discussion wrt the whole "healthy" blind pick scene not being as healthy as was healthily proposed by our healthy overlords riot, when they removed the apparently not so healthy draft pick from EUNE to promote what was in their eyes, healthy queues. One of the reasons they gave during their healthy discussion with disgruntled healthy EUNE draft pick players was the queue times being a barrier to healthy games .
Healthy role selection has an extremely, extremely minor effect on healthy queue times
Now as healthy as I am or may appear to be, I do not have access to the data needed to healthily approve or disapprove of the above statement. However in my biased opinion of " Healthy " blind pick in its current form, I would indeed like to see these changes added as a test to improve queue health.

I healthily agree. This has been a healthy discussion.
LoliKnight1 votesTrue! Good health to you, kind sir!
FeelsBadMEIN1 votesi made a suggestion about that since i play blind picks too.... inserting an interactive menu in the lobby wouldn't affect queue time it would only help the system to be aware of who is going where... the only "issue" would be that all those 1trick and autolocks would be easy to notice...so more people would dodge and get banned. and what i mean by interactive menu is a panel in the lobby where the first one to click the role gets the lane... doesnt affect your champion decision since its blind and the goal is to try out new things and not feel the stress of losing lp but still if someone gets mid and someone else doesnt agree he won't be able to just say " fine idc im still going mid". or "give me mid or im feeding"
OyddAWqJ5r1 votesIt'd make it a hell of a lot easier to ban those people if they are reported for it and they're intended role shows something different than what they did.
deadlychuck1 votesI'd rather not see blind pick change to reflect draft pick anymore.
The game is already unevenly balanced around draft pick, if you want to fix many of blind picks' problems stop making the match's quality so heavily dependent on the pre-game information obtained from a draft pick.
OyddAWqJ5r1 votesWot
Warlord Rhinark1 votesJust play Draft.
OyddAWqJ5r1 votesThus why I do. But bans and enemies locking champs from you by picking them exists. Sometimes you just wanna try things out in a PvP environment which currently isn't too reliable to do in Blind pick due to call order being the norm.
