When senna is released tomorrow, there is something everyone should know...

We seen this time and time again when there is a new champion that gets released, or even reworks which have it worse (thank god senna isn't a rework). Every time there is a new champion or rework, people want to play as it VERY bad, unless they aren't interested like me when yuumi was released. Anyway, this issue goes from people autolocking in blind, or constantly dodging to the point it will take you a half an hour to get into a game. Remember when Morde's rework was released a few months ago, people would NOT STOP dodging to get the champion and that includes myself, I will admit, but that is if someone decides to bring something into a lane I was going to go in, but as the new champion that doesn't belong there (Someone tried autolocking Yuumi top... seriously). But, since this is a new Champion we are talking about, people would still have to buy the champion, and half the people on league probably don't have enough blue essence unless they are dedicated to getting senna, and the 6.3k blue essence rework for the 10th anniversary login prizes helps that even more. I am just hoping the dodging and the autolocking won't get out of hand. And would I go draft? Personally yes, but the new champion or rework gets banned a lot at the time, because of two reasons. One, they are probably insanely strong and no one wants to fight them because of that, such as morde's rework on release or akali on her release. Or two, they don't know anything on how the champion works with its combos and builds much, so they still need to get used to everything so maybe that's why they ban them, to make it easier. Anyway, hopefully champ select won't be as crazy for senna's release as I expect it to be.

I'd also like this for aram. So annoying when people spam trade you and you decline, they just dodge because they're salty.

Honestly, Riot should increase the dodge timer for the first couple of weeks of a new champion/rework getting released. Those first few weeks of data is crucial to getting a new champion to a good and healthy state as quickly as possible. Dodging repeatedly to try to get lucky enough to get Senna creates an environment where it takes longer to get into games, wasting people's time and reducing the valuable balance data the devs could be collecting.

This sort of behavior should be met harshly so that people are encouraged to play the game out and let other people have a turn.

Well, thankfully she's supposed to be a support. People usually jumped on new releases for that role a bit less, compared to other lanes.

Well, Pyke was an exception, but he's more like an assassin rather than support.
