Auto Locking

Locking in confirms you are playing that champion and prevents other kinds of trolling like switching champs just before timing-out from becoming common. There's been the idea of not allowing lock-in at the first 5 secs or so of champ select to prevent people from auto-locking before someone even connects, but complete removal of it will result in other problems.

We better get some auto-locker detection. Maybe a kind warning for players who have been detected to have a very low average lock-in delay.

I'm pretty sure this is one of the issues that the upcoming Team Builder will address (You will be able to select your champion and role before even finding a team).

That aside, I'll assume that you're looking for a band-aid fix in the meantime. Implementing changes that will prevent a player from locking in or using the chat feature until everyone connects would be a bit more ideals as this allows us to develop better behavioral metas such as negating lane calls that were before everyone connected. This eliminates the advantage that players with more ideal conditions normally have and eliminates the "Copy/Paste" situation as well. If everyone sees the same chat from the very first message, there's no more "[other player I'm queued with] had first insert edited copy/paste text".

Team Builder just needs to come out soon @_@

Getting real tired of people just auto locking...
