Here's another one: Why can you not chat while waiting on Leaverbuster queue?

Someone's trying to contact me when there's 2 minutes out of 20 remaining, but I can't reply without either waiting or canceling and thus restarting the 20 minutes.

If this is intended, then what the actual fuck?

You can manage your messages through the LoL Friends app if you have a smartphone!

I agree. From literally every standpoint other than "Yeah, fuck this [you] person", it is a bad design choice.

  1. Communication - as above.
  2. Strategic Value - those 20 minutes could be spent going over runes, masteries, builds
  3. Monetary - those 20 minutes could be time spent shopping the store, because there's nothing else to do, and it's kinda like grocery shopping while hungry -- you can't do anything, but you want to, and you spend the whole time wishing you were doing something awesome without being able to.

[slayer-jinx-unamused] bad design is bad, Riot needs to go watch some Extra Credits.

Because if people could do stuff while waiting it would defeat the purpose.
