Champ selection role.

Pentara··1 votes·1,074 views

It happen to me often during last year and this year too, just liek 30 min ago. In a champ selection for rank game when, im still unrank. We had a adc who decided to ask to go mid. My guess was since it took to long either he was afk or looking something on net. But anyways he finaly answer the guys and so "sorry no" it was too late. The adc took a mid champ. So when it was the turn of the real mid, he also took a mid champ. That made me think...

So riot will it be possible in rank only if someone get adc,mid,top,jgl,supp. He could only chose champ from that pool of champions so that thing wouldnt happen.

Cause really losing LP because kids are too selfish and stuburns nowadays. Not like ima take the chance to see if we can win, cause if we lose ima lose more LP that i work hard to get it. So that being said today i had to dodge a queue by the end of it apparently i lost 3 lp. I dont know if i can get it back but would be fun.

On that peace

On Riot limiting champions by role, look to Mordekaiser: his rework was meant to make him a bot laner, by Riot's admission.

The reason they don't want to limit the champions by their kit is twofold:

  • First, they don't want people to fee like it's against the rules to take a champion anywhere...even if it's not wise it's not a rule violation if, as an example, I wanted to play ADC Lissandra (which, in case you were wondering, is actually viable if you go rageblade/nashors then build full AD from there, but has an atrocious fall off if you get to late game since none of her abilities scale with AD...similar to AD Fate, actually. :P) This leads in a lot to the second point...

  • What is a meta? It's what people find to be the most efficient way of doing things...it's not the only way. A lot of people seem to believe that the pros decide the meta, or that Riot designs the meta...but look at the beta and season 1, where the meta was literally "5 AD shove it down lane." Then someone determined that tanks could stop sieges, and burst mages could just nuke anyone who wasn't a tank. The concept of a jungler wasn't even popular til close to halfway through season 2. It wasn't ADC/Support bot until after junglers started murdering ADC mids and people determined that they should send their burst damage instead of their sustained damage with their support in case of danger, since the burst mages could handle themselves by just nuking someone and walking away...I could go on, but point is, the meta shift isn't possible without ingenuity...and ingenuity isn't possible if Riot attempts to lock in specifics to an area. My personal counter to mobile assassins, for example, are AP bruisers

I'll also lead in to say the famous last words "Every game is winnable" Someone went 0/58 with Janna and won the game. Why? Because after all that intense feeding, the shutdown gold the rest of their team got was more than the gold Janna could DREAM of giving them. Two mages do not lose a game. Two mages sitting in chat flaming each other all game and completely demoralizing the rest of their team can...but if more people played the game and just stfu instead of trying to assign blame for the loss before the game is decided, it'd be a lot easier to notice the game was lost because of bad attitudes to things more than it was lost by bad matchups or bad decisions...to a point.

yeah i do get that but the thing is they are not pro, some of them have difficulty to manage normal adc or any role. For me its frustrating to get whinny kids that complain about anything if they dont get it. like a few years back i dont remember when you were able to chose the role you wanted and it was garanted you had it. would be nice that come back meaby insted. Cause often player complain about there role they get. Like me the only role i cant play is adc im getting too old for this. For the rest of the roles tho im not bad at all for a 32 years old guys. Every yers for me i think the game getting worst, i like it way better in the past year. and i invested way to much cash to stop playing it. like over 3k so yeah. i dont like much losing rank lp cause i get bad player. or dc player or rage quiter player.

Nobody likes those things.

But I don't believe trying to force everyone to play a specific set of champions in a specific lane will make it better. You're not good at ADC, you say? Play Vlad bot. Not even joking, people started outright banning Vlad in EVERY high elo/pro game at one point in 2018 because he went BOT lane and was untouchable. If Vlad's not someone you're good with, there are others who can still fit that same niche he occupies as a bot laner to great effect without being destroyed by it being a 2v2 situation (my personal favorite is Ziggs for his pushing and siege potential, but everyone has their own niche picks) and still absolutely carry games.

There's nothing you can do about toxic/edgy players. Believe me, if there were, it'd be my mission to delete them. xD

But there's still much that you and your non-edgy teammates can do to carry them without just accepting defeat. That 0/58 Janna, btw, was not a pro game. That was actually Bronze 1. If A Bronze 1 team can carry a 0/58 Janna on their shoulders, you can do the same.
