Just cause you're queue'd with friends doesn't mean you get to take roles

I swear this happens 50% of the time I get queue'd with more duo +

I got mid and get a bunch of queue'd people telling me to give up my role. We lost that game btw.

And that is where you tell them that it's ok and you lock in Draven summoner 11 and steal all their lane minions x)

Btw I find it funny that you censored his name but when you copy-pasted what he said you didn't lol

This is something people shouldn't really do. It's unfair unless you are like in an AI game teaching them how to play or giving them advice on jungle or something. But in a pvp, this is literally unfair advantage. I mean i am always with a party of 2 or 4 and I never do this. Because I know how annoying this would be for other people. [slayer-jinx-unamused]

But yeah, I agree with you very much.[slayer-jinx-catface]

That's the nature of blind pick. If youu want mid, pick a champ, lock it in, say mid. If someone else wants mid, it's up to them to take it and duo mid (which is obviously stupid) or to pick something else. The idea of calling roles is just like a house rule in monopoly. You have to agree on it. We're all strangers... you don't have to follow the "meta" of blind pick, just like you don't have to follow the "meta" of the game. Neither do they. If you pick mid, lock it in, and then these guys say what they say, just play the game out, have fun with it, and report them after if you think they did that without trying to win the game. THAT is what's reportable. Not what you pick... but whether you try to win or not. Just write a description in the report of what happened.

I myself only play blind pick if I don't care what role im playing. Why would you go into a chaotic pick mode with the idea that you're gonna play mid? If you wanted mid, go draft pick and INTENT pick mid. There is no intended pick in blind pick. That is literally why there is draft mode. If you want mid, but you don't wanna wait through the champ select lobby, then I'm sorry buddy, the world isn't a perfect place for you, you're gonna have to wait an extra 3 or 4 minutes.

If you disagree with me here, that's impossible. This is not a matter of agree or disagree. Show me where Riot states that you must type in chat what role you want and adhere to that. Bottom line, show me the rule.

Edit: if this was a draft pick game, then yes you're completely right and that's fucked up. I mean, you're right anyways, they are jerk offs for doing that. But it's not punishable and you have to realize that is the nature of blind pick. It's the wild west of game modes. Doesn't mean you can troll in game, it just means you don't get to pick your role the way you can in draft pick.

Upvote OP this is seriously annoying.

It's twice as annoying when the guy that forced you off your role ends up feeding.

It's like "Cmon man, if you're gonna be a dick like that, THEN AT THE LEAST carry the fucking game".

You forgot to censor out Nam Joo Hyuk's username in titu's comment. Try using solid bars instead, I can see right through the scribbles.

Duo's are pretty bad. I remember when Dynamic queue was a thing, I got paired up with 4 people with names that indicated they were all in a team. I got forced into a role I didn't want, they insulted me, and made racist comments based off my username from champ select all the way to post game. All the while calling me trash and blaming me for something that happened across the map.

Have had this happen, I refused to give up mid to a 4 man queue(I was first in lobby), they spent the whole game saying they would 4 man report me and get me banned. I reported all 4 and got 2 "your report has triggered punishment" notifications. I received no punishment. XD

Yea in commie land your logic works, in a real game the only thing that can save you against a 4man is dodging

Agreed; this is stupid. Sorry you had to deal with that. I queue with 3 other people a lot of the time in blinds and if the rando gets the lane call before one of us, we let him/her have it.
