Blind pick has this issue and sometimes even draft where people lock in no matter what roles are called and either force others to play a different role or end up having to kick out a person out of a lane because there will be duplicate people in one lane.
It's not verbal abuse, so what would it be under?
TheViper79113 votesNone. No one cares about blind.
How Do You Meta2 votesNone. No one cares about blind.
Instant locking is against the summoners code, please don't be a jerk.
Inquisitor Kane1 votesSure, it is against Summoner's Code. But Summoner's Code is not a law. Only a guide on "how not to be a d-bag". Instalocking is a jerk move but it is not an offence. You are playing blind pick. First come, first serve. Instalock is just a part of blind pick. Like random champions in ARAM.
Sure, it would be nice if everybody was following call order in chat, but let's be real. People will instalock because they want to play certain champion. Nothing you can do abo.. oh wait. Don't play stupid blind pick and play draft instead. Easy :-)
There is no instalock in draft and chance for troll going other than assigned role is very small.

TheViper79111 votesI dont want to be a jerk sorry. But please find one instance of Riot doing anything about it. Just. One. Single. Time.
Kei1431 votesNothing in the summoner's code says you can't instant lock.
Call order is common courtesy, but not rules.
COBRA C0MM4NDER2 votesit's blind pick. champ and go.
if you got complaints...there's always draft.
or ya can be 'one of those' and dodge.
Seth the Green1 votesif they do it in draft then just report them after game, but it doesn't matter in blind
This Is Your Dad1 votesI try not to take blind pick seriously. To me it's a fast q time game mode for casual gamers, but I try to be respectful myself. I think if someone instalocks you can still play what you want either way. I wouldn't mind if you wanted to go urgot adc or lux support.
Truly not Gay1 votesI instalock every single game. It doesn't make a difference whether I instalock or not because I'm playing the same champion regardless as I am a true one trick pony. If you have a problem with it then you can dodge. There is no rule that says I can't play Taric every single game no matter what role I am. Yes, I even played Taric ADC earlier today. If my team didn't want it to happen then they shouldn't have picked everything but ADC leaving that spot for me.
