The new champ select is WAY too strict, man

The new champion select takes stupidly long and constantly has to reset on account of players who go semi-afk while they wait for their turn. It's somewhat punishing to people used to the old routine (vets?) and frustrating for everyone who has to go back into queue. Make it so that you just skip bans if you time out, and that your champ gets locked in if you hover it before you time out.

I mean, I'm Bronze V. How damaging is the loss of one chance to ban gonna be for my gameplay experience?

If people actually paid attention in champion select it would be a lot faster. Make your ban in 5 seconds, make your pick in 5 seconds. It takes a grand total of 50 seconds to make 10 picks + 30 seconds for 6 bans = 2 minutes for champion select (3 minutes once you include intent and finish-up).

The problem isn't the system. The problem is the long-standing problem of people going AFK during select. The new system addresses that by punishing people who do so. Hopefully in a couple months people will get the hang of it, and we'll all have a much more streamlined experience.

Or, stop wasting our time, and don't queue up until you're ready to pay attention.

Too strict? At what point is the player's "lack of attention in Champion Selection" making the NCS strict??

Make it so that you just skip bans if you time out, and that your champ gets locked in if you hover it before you time out.

The same people who don't lock in now would be AFK for the first five minutes of your game, realize they've got the wrong runes/masteries/Summoner spells/didn't want that champion in that matchup, and would make playing the game a worse experience.
