How to get an up to 50% guaranteed chance to play Elementalist Lux [When it actually came out]
This threat is a copy pasta from: http://boards.pbe.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/general-pbe-feedback/FAHsJR83-how-to-get-an-up-to-50-guaranteed-chance-to-play-elementalist-lux
DISCLAIMER: This threat is written in an entertaining way. Please do not try some not so serious tips below. I write both the PBE threat and this one.
This threat is a guide to increase your chances to play the champ that you want in DRAFT PICK and RANKED. In this case, I will be using Lux since Elementalist Lux is gonna be trending soon (duh!).
For this to work, u need to AT LEAST queue up as a party of 2: (depends on champion) [Yes, go make some friends!] Person A set his/her/apache's primary role to Mid, secondary role to Support Person B set his/her/apache's primary role to Support, secondary role to (Insert Random role here) ^ It's unlikely for your ally to pick Lux top/adc/jg. By doing this, you eliminated the possibility of your allies to pick Lux. Yes, person A and B has to take turns playing Lux each match. I hope you got a good friend.
The team that gets to BAN FIRST gets the privillage to first pick Lux, which is why it's only up to 50% chance. If not, you can only pray to Jesus your lord and savior for the enemy team to not first pick Lux.
If person A or B gets first pick slot AND in the first ban team, congratz! You secured your Lux. Just need to figure out A or B will play Lux first by instalocking Lux (first pick) and do a champion switch later.
If both of A and B didn't get first pick slot, A or B can ask the first pick adc/jg/top "nicely" to secure Lux, and then do a champion switch at the end. Try to do this even tho you don't end up in the first ban team. Usually they are willing to do this simply because there's no reason not to do it. ^ WARNING: Some players don't have Lux.
Unfortunately, some scr00blords could just ban Lux. Can't do anything about that other than getting salty and cry (jk).
That's it! I hope by reading this threat you could secure your desired champion most of the time.
BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE!!!!! SOME EXTRA STUFF!!!!!!! [READ DISCLAIMER] If you have a very super fast and powerful Wi-Fi and PC, just go blind pick and instalock that Lux, then call role. [Not Recommended]
If you decide to do this "strategy" solo and didnt get the first pick slot and in the first ban team, and you ended up 3rd/4th/5th pick, you can ban Lux to bait salty dodgers so you can try your luck again. [OMG PLS DONT DO THIS! WTF AM I SAYING!]
