New Draft Queue Ranked

There shouldnt be a 30 minute restriction for not Locking in in ranked queue. Regardless of the many people who afk in ranked, this is not the way to treat league players overall in draft mode. This bandaid causes stress to players, specially considering there is no preteam match up to decide what is going to be played (35 seconds is a slap to our faces). While in queue having no time to discuss strategies or communicate with players is already a set back that we put up with, getting a queue restriction for 30 minutes because a player fails to lock in after picking a champ isn't a reasonable consequence, it's a bandaid that leaves the wound exposed. You can't prevent a player from afking once the game starts, and it's not going to solve the problem prior. It's already a stress being blended with inexperienced players to balance matches.

I also want to make note, that this game owes a lot to Wc3 and DotA, but hasn't really considered why DotA was as successful as it was being on the Warcraft platform. My suggestion to league is, allow us to join chat channels to engage with the community. Disregard the chat menu previously incorperated, we need something more elaborate to work for us.

Having to play with completely annonymous players all the time doesn't build a community, and having to play match for match to find friends isn't productive for players either. Please don't let league fall apart like World of Warcraft did when they invented LFG/LFR. When LookingForGroup chat was abolished of its purpose, servers lost purpose, the community lost purpose, and over time more playerss disregarded to positive interaction and took groups for granted, thus Wrath of lich was full of pugs. Now this isn't about WoW, but league does need a community chat lobby that is interactive and invitiing to all players.
