Get rid of this "Lock or get kicked" system IMMEDIATELY

There is no point in this being here.

I just went Galio in a normal draft 5s game and guess what happened:

I got kicked because I clicked on the champ, went in my masteries and didn't bother pressing the Lock on Button because I was last pick and had to fix my masteries quickly.

I don't know who pushed this idea as someone could easily force the cooldown to 1 second(still) if they wanted to troll. This feature does NOTHING but troll players.

If I choose a champion and wait for the timer go down... Am I AFK or not Riot? You can't tell... THEREFORE there should be NO system "GUESSING" if I'm AFK or not because I didn't hit a button before going into the important stuff.

I mean honestly this idea came from the developer's girlfriend to whom he wanted to appeal to as "selfless" or something. It's so RANDOM. item 3070

It's to reduce queue times due to people taking as much time as they possibly can in champ select. Just lock your pick in so they can start.

This doesn't really stop them though. They can still WAIT TO LOCK CHAMPS.

This is what I'm vouching for; the removal of this part of the system.

If people don't lock in and then go afk, what difference does it make from a person thinking for 1 minute before locking in?

They still meet the timer threshold, therefore making this feature useless.

AFAIK, it was meant to catch quickly players who may have disconnected or left their computer in Champion Select.

Though, I suppose timing would be another benefit.
