With new champ select

Jefftiffy··2 votes·458 views

What happens if it tells you to go support and you pick someone like Khazix. I mean I am going to give 0 fucks about what role it tells me because I don't always have a role in mind. I'm looking for ways to have fun especially in non-ranked.

I mean technically you can't force us to follow the meta, but I mean it doesn't really stop anybody from doing the things like saying "I wanted mid so I'm going ____" .

it won't stop that afaik, but neither do any of the current queues, except team builder since you can kick them. however, "I wanted mid so I'm going __" won't be as big of a deal since you can pick your lane before and get matched appropriately

I'm saying you are forced to pick 2 lanes and you only wanted a specific one and decide to go fuck this I want that lane. Fuck what the computer says, and fuck Riot forcing me to do as they say because it isn't against the rules.

You're not going to get stuck with support unless you select it, if you don't want to support just select any other 2 roles, you're guaranteed to get one of the 2

You don't seem to understand the point. If someone wants another role they are going to probably select fill then just auto lock their role.

People who are doing that when the system first comes out probably won't continue doing it for long since they will likely get stuck with roles they don't want to play, under perform in them and lose more games. I'm not going to have to deal with support Kha'zix for more than one game, but the person playing him has to have themselves in all their games

The thing is the champ select can tell you to play the role, but it cannot control what you pick or what you bring. Nor do I believe Riot should be enforcing roles or the meta like it does. If for whatever reason we shift to 2 top or ever break the ADC role out of complete domination, it basically means that Riot is trying to force roles on us even if the meta shifts.
