-Waaaaaay too many clicks to confirm things that dont matter. No, I don't need 35 secs to select Urgot, no matter which role I'm placed into.

No audible warnings/different sounds when its you'r turn to ban/pick a champ. Unless it's the last 10 seconds.
No audible warnings/different sounds when game is about to pop, incredibly frustrating when doing last min mastries, or choosing the right rune page.
Forgot to lock in one of 20 things? For the first time, ever? F*CK YOU. FIFTEEN MIN BAN.
the inability to scroll through champions while other people are locking in their choice -I also don't like the new champ layout, having to scroll so much to see the champs.
A not uncommon que time of 10 mins and up? Not even team builder was this broken. -Constant dodges.

I haven't even tried this in ranked yet lol What are your thoughts? What's good, what's bad? I'm just irritated by little things....

I hate going through champ select 6 times and risking losing my primary position pick (which I hate that you HAVE to pick 2) because someone misses one of the bazzilion clicks needed to set up

almost all of these problems can be solved by a single, simple solution. if everyone looks at their screen during champ select, these problems will disappear.

EXCEPTIONS:

-I also don't like the new champ layout, having to scroll so much to see the champs.

the scrolling could use a little work, but it's something that could be fixed fairly easily

-Waaaaaay too many clicks to confirm things that dont matter. No, I don't need 35 secs to select Urgot, no matter which role I'm placed into.

you seem to be misunderstanding. you are not given 35 seconds to pick your champion and then AFK. you are given 35 seconds to develop a strategy with your team, display your champions to each other, and adjust your picks to better support each other's choices. for example: change to someone with a knockup if you've got a yasuo, switch to an AP if your team is all AD, switch t someone a little bulkier if your team is very squishy, or switch to someone with higher damage if your team is all tanks.

-the inability to scroll through champions while other people are locking in their choice

again, something that riot should probably work on, as it's a fairly simple change that can only help everyone. but that's what this stage of testing is about, finding these things and tweaking them to make the experience better for everyone.
