The people I come across.

Okay, so let's start off with I play support, I can't really do anything else although I have tried. I am a girl player which is rare, but who's to say girls can't play? So me and my friend duo-qued for normal draft (I am lvl 28). First thing I did was call support, I was fourth one down so I was in the second group for choosing. When all of the sudden the person above me calls support, when I told them that's all that I play I soon learned the other two players were qued with them. When it comes our turn to choose, the person above me autolocks Sona and then puts a smiley in the chat, I still chose my champ (Soraka). They blamed me and were rude to me all game, telling me I was feeding (I had to go mid, never been mid soraka) Telling enemy team to report me, making me seem worse than I was, made fun of me for my lvl saying "There's a special place for me in bronze 5." I pushed four turrets, only one other turret was taken down, I was blamed for the loss. In end game chat you can read for yourself. It was all around rude and I'm sure they reported me, but was I really in the wrong?

Yep, pick order > call order. You can't expect to always get your roll and you are responsible for being able to play all rolls at least to moderate effect. However, I don't condone or approve of their behavior and I do hope that you reported them. If the chat log is anything like the post game chat then I'm certain they'll receive due punishment from Tribunal.

What I was trying to say, we were in the same bracket for choosing in pick order. When it came our time to choose they autolocked.

I understand that, and while technically both of you have the same time slot for picking your champion it's still generally accepted that the the first summoner from top to bottom is considered to be the first between the two when pick order is concerned. I understand that what you experienced can be frustrating, at lower levels I experienced it myself and I'm very sorry you had to deal with people who couldn't resolve the matter in an adult and civilized fashion. However, I feel that it is in your best interest to focus on learning the other positions and rolls. This is not only because it will expand the actual experience of playing the game for you, but it also makes you more valuable and useful for team compositions and will overall improve your game as far as general mechanics and game knowledge.

I'm not saying that I haven't or won't play other roles, I have played them and I usually get yelled at for doing them wrong or losing my lane. I have tried other positions and I have yet to win a game with a different role. I don't think anywhere on this site does it say that you need to learn all positions, I believe that if you have one role you're good at you should stick with and be as best as you can possibly be at it. Until then, I don't think I need to change.

Well by that logic, there isn't anything on the site that says they can't autolock support if they want it even though you called it. Nothing on this site says that they can't take three supports bot lane and just being generally foolish. Does that mean that that behavior should be encouraged? If you don't play other roles then of course you aren't going to win when you play them, you don't have any practice. There is a difference between maining the role you prefer and are best at and being obstinate and refusing to learn and play the other roles when necessary. Personally, I'm pretty rubbish top lane and I'm not that good of a support, but I still go and play those roles when that is what the team needs or when I don't get the roles I would prefer. You can't seriously expect to play support every single game the entire time you play league. Surely you realize how unrealistic that is right?

No you weren't wrong. "SOmeLamePun" May say yes, Pick order this and that but the same time if that's all you can play currently people need to udnerstand and be mature and give the role to you. Giving the role to someone who can only play that one role is apart of "Teamwork" and "Team comprehension" Just because it's always "Pickorder" Doesn't always mean someone else above you has to HAVE that role. If they really wanted to win or if they really weren't dicks about the whole thing then they could of been nice enough to give you that role. I often play ranked and when I'm above other people Idgaf. I do whats best for the team if someone can't play any other role and they want the role I call then so be it they can have it and I do something else.

It's your decision not to "gaf" but you've got to be kidding me. By your reasoning, anyone could just say "I can only do 'insert role here'" whether its true or not and then demand that other people give up their right to pick order or get flamed. A person's lack of capability to play other roles shouldn't be encouraged or enabled in any manner. If you want to talk about what is best for the team, you should consider that person's responsibility to the team. I'd say its a player's responsibility to be able to adequately play all of the roles, assist in objective and team plays, maintain map awareness and situational awareness, and assist in vision control of the map. If a person can only play one role, that immediately tells me that they don't have experience in other lanes, which tells me they can't read game flow or the game situation, which tells me they aren't going to be solid with assisting other lanes or team cohesion for objective plays. And all of that tells me that they aren't someone I want to play with. Don't encourage people to only play one roll without being able to at least play the rest. It's bad for them, it's bad for the team, and it's bad for the community.

I do not, at all, agree with their behavior, but at the same time you cant always get what you want. There is a pick order in draft so youshould want to learnto play every role, as it will improve your know-how that much more. I personally hate when people only play one role, but wouldn't act like that I would just HIGHLY recommend to that player to start practicin with other roles.
