Well this was gonna be about autolocking in champ select but uh, a new message has been brought to my attention.

Firstly, could I get some riot clarification? Pick order always over call order, but what the heck do I report as now for autolocking? Does pick order matter if you two pick at the same time? I think it does, because of the same reason pick order even exists.....LAG IN CHAMP SELECT. It's great idea, if it's your turn to pick you can go wherever isn't taken, even if you've been disconnected from the chat. But what punishment is there for not being a team player? This is another thing I don't understand. Riot won't let us report in champ select, yet you tell us just to dodge queue right? So you're saying that because of random fate, made not so random by the amount of afks and feeds and autolocking, that I should LOSE 3 LP for something that is completely out of my control because I can't report or even mute a person in champ select. Okay, sounds fair. Tell me more about how it's a team game but I alone am expected to be a diligent positive member of a toxic community when I am continually punished because I make the "better" decision to dodge instead of be a negative asshole all game and lose.

Just sayin, I read tons of posts about trying to climb and haven't gotten shit. I've won with toxic members and lost with them, but I don't think that making "being the better person" something you are punished for is effective. But I mean, I guess i should prolly dodge more than 50% of my games but I'd be lower than I am ranked even now if that is possible.

Pick order over call order isnt rule. So it cant be reported anywhere. Its just whats mostly used and widely accepted by most players. It doesnt matter if u 2 pick in same time, its up to u 2 to settle conflict. For example if u and 2nd pick both want mid, and u pick in same time, its up to you 2 to decide who will go mid, either u will let him, or he will let u. If neither wanna let go, then u both can go mid, and there is no rule to prevent it. Also if u are one who gets to go mid, and 3rd pick also wants mid, its his right. Now either u will let him, or he will let u, or u both will go mid. Riot only said , its good idea to use pick order to solve conflict to avoid flames and fights, but they are NOT enforcing that rule. Also instalocking/autolocking is NOT against rules. Everyone is allowed to pick what he wants. Thats why there is no report section in champion select. Because instalocking, not going with pick order, not playing meta are not against rules, so it wouldnt make sense to have report for something thats not reportable right? ONLY thing you can report from lobby is flaming, and you can do that by screenshoting chat and sending to support. Dodging is simply incompetence to adapt to things you are not used to, thats why you lose LP.
