Not looking forward to the new champ select
I main 4 roles and depending on bans, picks of my teammates and opponont and prefered roles of my teammates I pick a role.
The new champ select really hurts flexibility and opportunity.
- If I choose to enter as a mid/jungler and I get assigned jungle but my main is taken or banned or i got counterpicked, I can no longer swap to another role because that other guy didn't queue up as top or sup for nothing. He will want to play that role.
- I don't main roles, I main champs. This means when I see the opportunity to counterpick with one of my mains I no longer can because I am forced into a role.
- It hurts team synergy because the system is build around individuality rather than a teameffort to make picks.
- I am a decent midlaner but I only play Malzahar. This means I can't enter as midlaner unless I start playing at least 1-2 other champs in that role.
- I don't want to be forced before picks and bans what role I have to play. Picks and bans decide for 90% what I am going to pick.
- New champ select is a fix on something that is not broken. I never play adc and only in 0,5% of my games I am forced to dodge. I almost never start a game with a guys that is unhappy with his role, but that could partially be because I am flexible and main 4 roles.
- It hurts real MMR. I am not diamond with every champ. If for some reason I can't play my main a I am forced to pick my second or third best champ in that role. Lets say I have a 50 grade with Malzahar but he is not available or gor counterpicked and I have to pick my third mid with a grade of 40. My teammate has a 50 in jungle and a 50 in mid but he got assigned jungle and was higher pick. I also have a 50 in jungle which I could still pick. So forcing me into midlane will hurt teameffort.
