People actually following the rules of Draft

BadTombstone··4 votes·902 views

I was just wondering if this is becoming a common occurrence for other people. Recently I myself have found numerous people who have no idea the rules of draft and blurt our their role as if it is Team Builder. Then when you tell them it is pick order and pick your role they troll and pick something that doesn't even help the team. Is there maybe a chance that we can add a report option for not being a team player and or trolling. This is something that very much so infuriates me because people even do this in Ranked which is becoming a MAJOR problem. I mean for example today I picked my roll as Support during my pick and our last pick was mad because he wanted support and said "he called it" then picked Bard into a Draven, Braum duo and nearly costed us the game. But who is the one to blame the Thresh because the Thresh was doing him actual job and playing support. While our Bard concentrated the whole match on collecting chimes and attempting to kill steal from the team. Maybe I am wrong in posting this but doesn't the rules state that choice of pick order is who picks their role?

Pick order is officially supported by Riot. If they are trolling by taking a role that someone already has or threatens to do so, it's reportable.

With the new champ select it will be much more easily identified by the system and people will be punished for it more (because you are queued up as a specific role).

Example when you know you the best JG on the team, but another guy takesBlitzcrank & summoner 11 starts stealing your jg camps while he's suppose to be supporting, which this can count towards being reported as well.

Exactly I mean i will not lie i myself have gotten restricted before for raging. But admittedly when i habe exploded it has because of this reason. There is just no reason for not knowing the rules.. And if this is reportable i would really like to know which hoop i need to jump into to confirm this report

I don't recognize the legitimacy of your meta and will pick whatever champion I please.

This is what my post is about. Be a team player and not a troll and do that. Especially in ranked. Thank you.

I didn't say anything about the meta though.

You did indirectly by suggesting that a given role can only be taken by one person. There is no rule that says just because someone else is doing x, I can't do x too. It's a very fine line between not giving a shit about the meta and intentionally trolling though, and we all know the OP is really talking about trolling. I still have to object every single time this comes up because punishing for meta breaking threatens a legitimate play style. If we couldn't break the meta, no new meta would ever take shape.

That isn't what I was suggesting.

The prefered method is communicating and working it out. If that doesn't happen, then pick order is the deciding factor. As far as people calling snd trolling if they don't get? That's nothing new. It's always been an issue, even if the degree shifts.

I feel like Pick Order ruins the value of teamwork, because everyone has a best role and that window of chance should always be left open. The closer everyone is to their best role, the better a whole team's chance of winning.

With Pick Order there is also the chance of first-pick simply taking command for only their own means, instead of thinking about their team.

i always go by the pick order but before you lock make sure that guy that said "sup" can do another role. make sure everyone is in a semi-comfortable role if possible.

My least favorite lanes are Top & Mid, but only have 2 of each which i know I'm good @, but no one near pro:(.

Anivia her "Q" is hard to land (i gotta make them walk up into it.) Teemo vs Nasus or vice versa I'm still struggling top lane. Vi is my only decent Top lane for now, better suited for Jg 2. Skarner He is my main, because no other bronze player understands his own "wards" in each area of the jungle camps.

BadTombstone

But would you still try for your team in mid or top and play roles that are simple like annie mid or maokai top and sustain and survive and nust don't ober reach your own abilities. I myself find if i have to play top (my weakest role) i will pick a tank that i know i atleast can hold lane long enough to help the team.

Maokai don't own him lol, i would go Nasus Nautilus Olaf Riven Teemo top, but still my weakest role. Annie I HEREBY CONFIRM MYSELF AS THE WORST Annie PLAYER EVER, because i **can't **control her "ult", "Alt" or whatever "R" in moving this stupid fat bear around.

You.. you just press R again.. and it moves to where your mouse is.. press it over a champ creep or tower and it will attack said creep. It also has auto attack based off your settings, so if you have auto attack turned off, it will be turned off on tibbers.

I doubt Riot punishes people for taking a role or character that someone else wanted and claimed first. Unless they determine a person is doing it deliberately to grief people on a repeated basis. Otherwise, play as whatever and whoever you want. If someone complains about it, let them. If they report you for that, well, a Riot GM has already said today what happens to false reports: they trash them.

Besides, people need to get out of their rigid mindset that two DPS or two healers means an automatic loss. Thinking, and playing, outside the box should never be a punishable offense.

But is my posting understandable and reasonable? I too have seen the PBE and am very excited I just didn't know if I was the only one with this small complaint or if I am just crazy. lol thank you for everyone who has posted their comments!
