an addition/change to the summoners code.

Currently the code reads in favor of pick order. I have no problem with that except when the people on your team refuse to communicate with each other and simply pick a champion and say nothing about where they are going.

I am going to quote Riot Socratese from a post back in 2013 that made clear riots stance on pick order over call order.

"At this point we would like to stress, once again, that Pick Order should not be the first thing players turn to in determining who plays what role in ranked games. Pick Order is meant to be a last resort when settling discussions - this is why we are endorsing it and not mandating it. Communication and collaboration are still the most important things when it comes to playing ranked games, and we hope players will continue to uphold the Summoner's Code in all of their matches. If you refuse to communicate with your team and rely only on Pick Order to determine your role selection, you are still being a toxic player and this will reflect negatively upon you. By officially endorsing Pick Order, however, we are hoping this will give more structure to players and may help settle some disputes."

Pick order is fine as a last resort. It should not replace communication. As such I feel the code needs to have "make sure to communicate with your team from select all the way to the end screen" added to the first paragraph of support your team.

This would be nice.

+1 for the good and necessary idea. The Summoner's Code should recieve more value and be more talked about.
