new report option: not taking assigned role

I understand this side of it too because I typically top as Sona with my friends but I get yelled at because "You're support you HAVE to go bot" I feel like if you're comfortable with a certain lane and a champ, you should be able to play there. But I am new and don't know much about ranked and such so my opinion may be invalid xD

I'll say that this doesn't fall under what OP is asking, going off meta champs in a role is still fine, and isn't reportable.

An example of what OP wants: say you wanted to go nami/wu bot and put bot as primary and fill for secondary. When you get in screen and get put in the jungle you say "I'm going Bot" and lock in wu. THAT'S what he wants reported, not what you are talking about.

How often do you and your friend get bot? The new queue'ing system is making that impossible for me and my friend. What do you put as your secondary role?

The game can detect what lane you played in. They could easily add a check into the report feature that sees if you laned where you selected and validate the report or not. It wouldn't have to make any calls about what champ you played and if its appropriate, just that you took the lane the system rolled you. Double that up with punishment for excessive false reports and that would at least make after game reporting fine. I personally want a during champ select report option that dodges but thats trickier.

I have also run into this problem. However I don't think this is how to fix it.

I KNOW that if this were to be the report category, my friend and I would be banned within a week.

Do we steal lanes? No. Him and I like to go off meta bots together, like Nami-Wukong.

Now we don't do this in ranked mind you, but the amount of harassment and salt we get for trying to have fun in norms is silly.

It doesn't even make sense, we choose bot and support he goes Wu bot with me as Nami support, and people start screaming because we are "trolls" because "Wukong isn't a bot."

Mind you, more often than not, they shut their mouths by the time we are 4-0. But for the games where we don't do well, we already get reports for "trolling" and I would rather not start getting reported for more things that I am not doing.

That's just my two cents.

I agree, I like seeing off meta picks and I wouldn't want them to be punished. However, I would say that adding it as an option to report isn't necessarily a bad thing either. The biggest problem I'd say is when say someone gets assigned "bot" but says "I'm going top mo fo." Even if someone else already got assigned top position. I could care less what champ someone plays in a given role, if it's off meta I say go for it.

Maybe they could add this but with the caveat that each "report" will be looked at individually according to things such as what was in chat, or something.

i'm fairly certain theres a more broad report option that would cover this. isn't there a "refusing to communicate" option? just look through the report options and choose the most fitting one

Pretty sure that does not fix the problem, and besides reporting him under "Refusing to communicate"(which i may add, it's a ghost report that does nothing) will do absolutely nothing. This problem needs to be addressed in a timely manner, but lets face it and not act like naive people, it's highly unlikely this will be added ever or at least any time soon.

Go back to the old queue for a second - there is ALWAYS one person who has to play support. It's only unattractive because your job isn't to get kills but to keep the carries alive. People want to be the deciding factor in a game. It's the same in WoW or any other game with support champs/characters. This queue just makes it known who gets support when no one wants it.

Funny, I love Supporting but the Fill option usually makes me go as ADC 70% of the time. Good thing i'm pretty good at Caitlyn and Kalista now to work with Fill :)

But first, there needs to be an added button during selection/bans: Position Swap Sometimes people do swap positions legitimately, and there needs to be something in place that won't punish that.

There are a hundred scenarios that make this impossible to enforce. That's the problem with the system.

Before, at least the pick process was quick and I could just minimize the screen. Now, we have the same amount of trolls, we have to watch them troll and the selection process takes longer.

Is disregarding the assigned roles and picking whatever you want "because muh pick order" actually against the rules in the first place?

It'd make sense for it to be, because avoiding that was one of the main reasons behind the new champ select in the first place, but has Riot actually said it's forbidden?

There are people in this very thread claiming that you don't have to follow the assigned roles if you're first pick, so it'd be nice to nip this mentality in the bud.

EDIT: https://twitter.com/RiotLyte/status/689623553340080128 Nevermind, looks like Lyte touched on this minutes before I posted.

What if you legitimately trade roles though? Is it report-based or auto-ban?

Your opinion is wrong.

Agreed .

Or even better - an in champ select reporting option that exports the chat/ban/pick log to riot and gives you a free dodge if upon review a dodge was warranted due to breach of the summoners code.

This isn't about being off meta. It's about being assigned a certain lane and then going a different lane anyway and trolling your team in the process. You want to take Raka Jungle - that's your decision if you get jungle. You'd probably get a report for that too but it wouldn't be for "Not taking assigned role"

What about it?
