Instant Locker Problem

I love this game and i play it all the time but theres people who mess with me and my friends on draft pick that annoys us to the point we stop playing a day or two and play something else.

The Instant Lockers, they want to play their lanes and not care about anyone else. If you call first they pull out pick order and if you pick first they call first and if you pick and call first, well heck they are going anyway. Theres times where the person will afk just because they didnt get their lane.

I believe i have a solution to the problem, so this complaint isnt useless to read me crying about others messing with me. When we pick summoners rift to play, a box will open asking what role you want and the box will match you in a game that needs that role.

But there will be those times where both your friends want to play adc, well if the box saying "error- multiple party members selecting same role, where the party will decide their role before entering champion select.

The last issue to that plan(if riot likes this idea and goes with it) is the draft pick player icon order. Instead of making this idea where certain roles are placed in champion selection in certain spots like:

Top Lane Mid Lane ADC Support Jungle

this would lead top lane banning champs all the time and supports like me never get to pick. It will also let the enemy team know what lane each player will go and they will abuse that. So to fix that fixed role locations. Make it random where any role can pick first so that every role can ban champs and the enemy will still be surprise where who going where still.

The last problem to the problem is players who are just being ignorant and pick support role and then in champion select change to top lane. This will lead to team arguing because one person changing their role and nobody can tell the difference of whos lying about there role. To solve liars is when in champion select to give each role a symbol of where their are going. If i say support I'll get a symbol of a heart or a flower saying support when you hover over it. Something that only team members can see during champion select so the enemy can still guess wheres that annie or fiddlesticks going.

I hope riot looks at this post and thinks ab out my ideas while other players add on to this, cause i do really hate these instant lockers.

They had already come up with that exact solution, it was called Team Builder. It was just as you had described, but they seem to have scratched the project and never implemented it.My only solution for you is filling any role. Wait for everyone to pick and you go whatever role was left out.

Who says they scratched it? Last time I heard it was on the PBE client for play testing.

The Riot staff did not scratch this project. A recent post by one of the members stated that they are currently using it in closed testing and will put it into the game sometime this year. It will not be in ranked queue until it has been refined and perfected though so it will only be implemented in normal games.

Also, I think every LoL player has had this idea xD because I thought of this about a month before they said they were working on it.

They never scratched the project. It's just REALLY buggy. They want to get it all sorted out before they put it in non-PBE client.
