Saving your game before it happens: In lobby voting system
You're queuing for ranked. You're 1 win away from getting out of bronze and into silver. This is the game you've played over 800 long, frustrating, and difficult games to get to. The queue pops and you get into the lobby. You're the first to ban and the first to pick. You're teammates suggest bans, and you follow them. You don't want your team upset. After taking turns banning, its your turn to pick. You want to win your last promo game, so you obviously pick your best role: jungle. You feel confident you can float around the map and put down enough pressure to carry your team to victory. You lock in Udyr and wait anxiously, anticipating the other teams picks. Forward 6 picks. The last 2 people on your team are picking their champions, and neither of them says a thing. 1 second left to pick, and you breath out a sigh of frustration: you'll be joining another lobby. But wait, they BOTH LOCK IN AT THE LAST SECOND. YOU NOW HAVE A TRISTANA AND TWITCH BOT LANE. YOU PLAY THE GAME BECAUSE NO ONE WANTS TO DODGE AND YOU END UP LOSING THE LAST GAME OF YOUR PROMOS BECAUSE THERE WAS NO WAY TO AVOID PLAYING THIS 20 MINUTE WASTE OF TIME. tHANKS RIOT.
I don't want this to happen anymore, to any other players. I want there to be an option where, in situations like the one presented above, players can dodge the lobby with no consequences. I suggest that riot implement a system in which your team can put it to a vote, and (in a majority +1 vote similar to the surrender system) you can re-queue and save yourself and your elo from a 20 minute waste of time. In this system, situations in the champion select that could cause a loss of your game can now be controlled. This not only denies people from trolling in ranked, but allows you to progress further based on your skill.
Pros: •Fewer Games lost (higher chance to escape elo hell edit:for the skilled league of legends players) •Solo-queue trolls lose their motivation to queue for ranked, improving ranked play for the competitive •Favored "meta" team picks, improving game experience •FEWER GAMES LOST (riot plz)
Cons:
•Longer ranked queues
•Longer ranked games
•New way to breed toxicity in the lobby before the game starts (possible situation where teammate wants to dodge queue and no one complies, so they end up being rude all game [ but its an online game people are rude ])
•Duo queuing with a fellow troll negates this system and makes you a new form of cancer, rightfully named "Super Cancer"
Please leave your feedback below, I'd love to see what other people think of this system.
ADC. People would probably vote me out as a troll everytime. That's why I've stopped playing her in ranked games, it's not worth the pre-game stress.
