"Instant Lockers"

ChrisstyXD·Jun 3, 2017·1 votes·428 views

So , everytime i want to chill and play some league . Not wanting to get mad or something i meet these guys . Instalockers. I am a mid main so most of the time i want to play mid . When i join a lobby , i say mid like 4 times to be sure everyone gets it . Instalockers join. Instalocker: Mid Picks a champ and locks And after that, they usually feed. Since the last thing like this happened . I'm just leaving lobbies and accepting a dodge timer. In my opinion . At the beginning of the match there should be a report category for instalocking. I also know that many of you will say that if i don't want to meet the kind of players i should be playing draft mode . But i play normals because i don't really wanna lose time with all of the bans and so. Plus, draft`s a bit harder than normal and as i said , i want to chill . Thanks for reading this and i hope something will be done about it.

Blind has two main things about its queue: the champ you want, and being comfortable playing any role. If you're not comfortable with the latter, then play draft.

I haven't found normal draft to be appreciably harder than Blind, and holy crap is it nice to not need to fight over lane calls.

i have noticed before that if someone types in there lane as soon as they enter then it will show on there chat that they had typed it first even if they were the last person to join the lobby so it can confuse people as they think they have the lane so now i allways ask to see if i got the lane or not but still nobody should lock instantly and im sure that they do not mean to feed being as mid is mostly squishy ap/ad assassins there easy to kill via getting ouplayed

Why would there be report option for instacallers? Its not against rules. Also "calling lane" isnt rule. That would give advantage to people with faster PC and Riot is against that.

What's your source for that? I believe I remember reading somewhere that Riot (obviously) supports pick order over all else in draft play (this was before role assignment), and supports call order in blind picks.

Locking in equally benefits people with faster computers. However it could result in multiple players locking in champions for the same role. Whoever waits to make sure their role isn't being stolen ends up getting their role stolen by the guy who cares less about the team and more about himself. How is that support-able? It's the problem with blind pick and why so many players hate it.

The thing is. In blind pick, there arent roles. U can play 2 adc bot, u can play 2 mid, 2 jungle, no jungle, no adcs, 2 top 2 mid 1 bot, 2 top 2 bot 1 mid. All kind of picks are allowed.

You can always do that. But you're also obligated to communicate with your teammates and agree on a strategy. You can't just go double mid or double top because someone else already wants that role and you aren't willing to give it up. It ends up happening because some people are jerks. Those people ruin the game for everyone else.

Thats only in draft where there are set roles if u wanna play something off role or off meta, u need to communicate it with team. In blind pick those rules dont apply.

Those rules do apply... it's no wonder people are this way in blind pick, hard to follow rules when you don't know them...
