PSA: Please Call Roles in Ranked Games

I see people just locking in their champion without regard to anything I've said about my roles. If you're going to steal roles because you were "chosen from the heavens" to be first pick, at least say which role you're taking.

I don't agree when you said: "If you're going to steal roles because you were "chosen from the heavens" to be first pick," with the following reason below.

My reason is the same as Sky Williams'. If you haven't watched that video, let me break it down. He basically says that call order isn't fair since people enter the room late. They can't afford super expensive computers. That is why, pick order is better.

I do agree with your statement when you say: "at least say which role you're taking", since communication and moral (at least in my rank, Silver 4) are the only way you are going to win games.

neither work well. Letsthink about it logically here. Say instead of LoL its literally any team effort ever with multiple roles, say soccer for example. No team ever would decide who is goalie or striker by whoever screams goalie first and they sure wouldnt say "well who ever comes in the door first is mid field, second striker and third goalie:. Its just such a terrible idea to let roles be decided by basically random chance. Plus with only a little over a minute to figure it out you have little time to react. For example say im playing support and pick morgana...when all of a sudden some dick decides to auto lock support and arguably the whole game is thrown even before it starts. The most common example is "Everything but jg is called, i cant jg...screw my team duo top piss of i top or tilt".

teambuilder is the way to go....u go into a Q after declaring 1 or 2 roles u can fill(i think 2 is much more reasonable than 1 personally) and are matched with other ppl wanting those roles, every game mode should be like this, especially ranked...Pros dont learn every role, hell they only learn 1 why should a bronze or silver player need 4 roles. Besides its a GAME, its supposed to be FUN...when u demand ppl play something they dont want to it takes that away, it would be like if i just wanted to play Fallout all day but a third the time my xbox makes me play skyrim instead, skyrim is similar and a great game...but not what i wanted and not why i logged in to play.
