Quality of Life Twisted Treeline Changes

While grinding out games trying to get to gold, I noticed that there are some improvements that would be nice to have.

Role Selection This would make champ select easier for the players since nobody's confused as to who's going where

Auto Lock-in When people are confused as to who's going where, people end up forgetting to lock in which dodges the queue. The first time this happened to me was frustrating since it auto locks for every other queue. (pretty sure)

Smoother Map/Vision Sometimes I get stuck on pieces of terrain that don't look like it should stop me when playing champions with dashes, like Galio. Smoother vision is nice to have because I'd be right in front of a jungle camp and the minimap would say it's alive, but it's actually already taken, since the fog of war is still there.

Updated Jungle Camp Aggro/Patience Twisted Treeline still uses the old jungle camp aggro system, meanwhile Summoner's Rift has the new "Patience" system which is much better than what it used to be. (I think)

Vilemaw Death Announcement Simply announce Vilemaw's death like you do on Summoner's Rift with Rift Herald/Dragon/Baron. Saves me the time of checking the pit.

Not sure if anyone else also feels the same way, or has any other suggestions.

Position intent would work better than selection. Otherwise, matchmaking would become excessively complicated, what with arranging Supports, Junglers, Hypers, and Top-laners.

If I remember correctly, none of the draft modes auto-lock now.

Agreed with the rest of the stuff, especially the vision issues and Vilemaw global timer.

It is odd that Vilemaw doesn't have a global death announcement, but part of me wonders if that's due to it not giving improved recall (which is also weird to me), thus making it harder to flee the crime scene.

I could see Twisted Treeline and Blind Pick sharing some sort of "who called it first" system, but I wouldn't want to pre-select roles like you do for Summoners Rift Draft.

Playing Twisted Treeline for the Chroma was actually kinda fun. I did feel like I'd enjoy it more if it didn't feel so neglected.
