Should there be buttons for calling your role in blind pick?

PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE VOTING

I feel like it would be really useful to have a method for calling roles in blind pick. Currently people just call them out, and about 75% of people follow this and respect these rules. Then you get the other 25% who just auto-lock or sit there and say they called it first, and copy/paste but alter it to look like they called it, etc. Or someone connects late, and loses the chance to call a role because they connected late, and also can't see who called what before they connected.

I feel like there should be some sort of popup with buttons or something so that it's kind of like draft but faster, maybe just a popup that shows the roles (when everyone is connected, the buttons become clickable) and whoever clicks jg is the only one who can have smite. As far as the lanes i'm not sure how to make sure other people don't just pick a champ and go to that lane, but at least everyone will know who got it and it won't be disputable, and maybe this will leverage at least half of the trolls to just dodge or take another role.

It would still follow the theme of blind pick, as you wouldn't see the other teams champions, this way it would just be more clear who goes where. Also people often just lock in and don't say anything. I have found myself sitting there asking in chat what is open, with no response. They may pick a champion who can be jg or top, and they don't have smite then change it at the last second. There's just a ton of inconsistencies which lower the quality of playing blind pick. I believe this function would remedy most of them.

Draft?

Blind pick doesn't have to have all these flaws. In blind, you don't see the enemy team and it's also the only time you see the same champ on both teams. I gave a really good explanation but i'm about 90% sure people voting "no" just didn't read it. They read the question and voted no.

Highly recommend people read everything I typed above. Or maybe it's auto-lockers voting no, because this will kill their strategy.

Also Draft takes forever. Most people I know go blind if they don't have time to sit there and wait for bans and alternating picks, It takes like 5-10 minutes just to get into game.

From what I see, the main reasons for Blind pick are everything I just mentioned, and perhaps avoiding the whole process of countering. I don't see why it is necessary to go through all this trouble calling roles and figuring out who is going where. How many games have you guys had where you had 2 mid raging at each other, or 2 junglers, or 2 adc's fighting over cs and one ragequits? I get this kind of shit all the time.

Yes but draft is for more experienced summoners, Blind pick is for newer summoners who aren't familiar with the game,mechanics, or team compositions.

Blind is also the only game mode available to new players. If you want to coordinate there is an option and it comes with conditions. You aren't always gonna get what you want that's just the way it is. Realistically although scummy to some, the 25% who auto lock aren't actually doing anything wrong, they got the champion, now pray that they know their role. If you see that shit in draft pick then yes they are clearly breaking a rule but because most summoners usually get one of the two roles they asked for it usually isn't a problem (fuck you auto fill). Even if you are auto filled; TOOT TOOT I still play the role i'm assigned to since ill get auto fill protection next game and probably get to play a new champion along with learning more about the role. However I am not the greatest top laner, if autofill were to put me there I do the normal thing and ask "hey can I switch ".

Definitely read the post. Still voted no. It's just unnecessary.
