So I'm in champ select for ranked...

And someone is telling me that he can only jungle because he has 500 ping.

500 ping.

Trying to play in ranked.

He's either a lying weasel and I don't want to play with him, or he's really got 500 ping and needs to have a queue just for people's whose connections are really, really bad atm and I still don't want to play with him.

I dodged like 1 second after he said that, but I don't think I should have to. That seems like something I should report before a game, not because I want the dude punished, but because I don't want to go into ranked with someone who's lagging half a second. I mean even for a jungler, he's not going to get the 50-50 smites. He's going to screw up ganks just because he can really react.

Things like this is why we need a report and dodge feature for champ select.

He probably just wanted to jungle.

While I agree, I still think that if someone is doing something that makes you want to dodge, you should be able to report.

That would be discriminatory to refuse to let someone play ranked based on their internet situation. Do you think it would be fair to do that to you if your net wasn't the best, but you still wanted to play? No, it wouldn't be.

At some level of ping, you can't really play LOL. I would say at a half second delay, you are at the point where you can't really play ranked.

This isn't discrimination, this is a minimum standard for all involved. Minimum specs exist for a reason.
