I think that by removing chat during champion select it forces people to wait their turn to pick without crying about how someone else took their role. It is a check mate for toxic turd bags. I really am enjoying it so far, the chat service has been down during champion select and the quality of life during it has increased tremendously.
it would also improve the amount of mass confusion that happens so that their additudes are worse once the game begins.
how do you coordinate your picks with your team if there is no chat? i'm unfamiliar with this crying you speak of, but I would have had some bad games if people just locked in without discussing what they wanted and what they were good and bad at.
I see several problems with this:
I'm sure there's more. I've just found in my Draft matches, I very rarely get anyone demanding a role and qq'ing when they don't get it. When last pick demands a role the other 4 tell him he's last pick and he shuts up (and we try to work it out anyways). My biggest problems in champion select are the people who don't say anything. The person who takes a champion that's viable in more than 1 role, doesn't take a role-specific summoner, and doesn't say anything. Or in my case, once I was 4th pick and both mid and adc were left. I asked 5th pick what he wanted and he never replied (I asked like 7 times). I ultimately went tristana (adc) because I figured mid is more popular than adc, then when it was his turn he took vayne with ignite. Like seriously, if you wanted adc I was offering it to you! (Someone ended up dodging even though I offered to go tristana mid then, because frankly with vayne with ignite I think he assumed it was a troll).
In general, I find not talking is the worst. Trolls are going to troll.
I honestly would like to see a Blind Pick game mode with this so we could go back to season 1 and avoid this "meta" crap that is getting stale especially when Riot is forcing it onto players or they sit at a huge disadvantage in XP going duo top.
