After Overwhelming Positive Support for the Idea.
Pick Order Swap:
During a Draft Mode Game, much like you could swap champions, you can swap your pick order.
Say you want to give your first pick to someone that wants to prioritize a popular champion over counter pick.
Say you want to give your 5th pick to someone that is in a situation where counter pick is more desirable.
Instead of the wacky situation of trying to swap champions, this option will allow your give your pick over to the person instead.
The way it works is simple.
You have two options to offer up your pick position.
The first is directly to another player. You click on the handy icon next their name, and an option pops up for them to agree to swap pick order. Much like the current way you swap champions, but instead of relying on the client or the other person to actually have the champion, you just simply swap the pick making it much smoother and impossible to troll people with.
The second option is to offer your pick to first come first serve on the team. Say you're not sure if someone would like your first pick. Well, instead of trying to quickly type out the situation in chat in the short amount of time before your pick, you can simply click the handy icon next to your name. This makes a sound and highlights a button next to your name that the first person on your team to click swaps with your pick order.
What benefits do you say this has?
-
You both no longer have to own the champions you want to swap.
-
You no longer have to rely on the client not bugging out or the person not being a troll to not get stuck with another champion.
-
You no longer have to communicate the champions in the short timer in the hopes that they have the champion. It also means that you can plan fully with your full champion pool instead of hoping the other person has your full champion pool.
-
It allows for a quicker communication and transfer, making it a less frustrating situation.
-
It doesn't throw you into further disarray if the enemy team makes an unusual choice and forces further discussion.
Disadvantages?
None.
