Is it fair for one person to come into chat and say "bot with 'x'" and take bot without 'x' even saying anything in chat while all of us need to individually call our lane? I don't think it's fair. Does anyone else feel as miserable as I do about this? Whenever I plan to duo with a friend I call it separately because I know how infuriating it is to have your lane taken by someone that's not even in chat.
Silent Gravity2 votesThe person you're complaining about is calling the lane. They're abiding by the social norms. Why would the information that they want bot lane together need to be presented twice?
Ghazter1 votesYeah I guess that's fair. I never play draft just because queue time is so high. My problem wasn't them being presented twice, it was the fact that calling is a timed thing and each time you call you cut off a potential laner/champ, so being able to call for two people is kind of rude when the other person doesn't even say anything. Meh, I should play more draft though.
Chermorg1 votesIn a normal game, there is no official concept of "calling lane".
They're free to go bot if they want, regardless of what the team says/calls. They should communicate their intent to go duo bot. But they are not required to change their plan just because you "called" a lane.
