Chat Timer Before Champ Select In Blind Pick
As someone who primarily plays draft pick, and the one time I play Blind Pick and actually get to call mid first I felt pretty good I was going to try the slightly reworked Akali. Someone else who called mid after me decided they were going to go mid anyway because they thought they called mid first. Their excuse was they connected before me. The ADC on our team agreed I had called mid first. Since the game had already started their was no going back. So stuff like this where people just call roles and say they called it first and then say it was because they connected first is kinda stupid. So the solution for this is once everyone is in the lobby a count down should start so people who actually care can call their roles rather than that one guy saying he connected before you did so you did not see him call it. This timer is just to make blind pick slightly less of a struggle to tell who called what first and make it so people argue less before the game has even started. If someone does not connect to the lobby then just start the chat without them. The chat could either work A. Once everyone is connected start a short timer, say about 5 seconds or **B. A timer starts once the first person who connects gets in say about 10 seconds long so people still have some time to connect and prepare to say the role they want. ** Seeing as though I wanted to play blind pick one time just for a shorter que does not mean I want to be limited by the role I want just because someone says "I connected faster" it makes some people (Me) feel like they got cheated out of having a decent time.
Whether or not you agree this is just something to hopefully be thought about so blind que is not just a race and then an argument about who called their role first. This is a team game don't ruin how you feel about your team before the game even starts.
