Add a 60 second discussion time BEFORE BAN SELECTION for Nemesis Draft

So I had a connection issue that prevented my pick going through earlier, which gave me a 15 minute queue ban.

Okay, I can live with that, shit happens, even though I've had several connection bugs with the server communicating in Nemesis Draft.

But now i'm sat on a TWO HOUR BAN for my second 'dodge' because I got distracted trying to discuss tactics with my team and didn't select in time.

I get that you want to punish leavers, but if you want people to not just pick random shit and actually try and approach the draft select with something approaching tact, can we have some time to DISCUSS THE MATTER before you throw us right in?

I'm now blocked from all queues for two hours because I was trying to build a strategy with strangers instead of watching the timer. That doesn't seem to be what you had in mind, Riot.

Eh, the way I see it is the ban phase is ample amount of time to discuss what kind of comp you would like to choose for the enemy team. Especially because bans might not necessarily mean as much compared to actual draft mode.

Bans in nemesis are just kind of "oh, I don't like seeing this champ in general whether he's on my team or not" type of deal since there is no "bad" champion to pick for the opposite team, technically.

You only have like 10 seconds or so to see what weak champions you can ban that the enemy can't to target ban anyways depending on how long the enemy takes on their 1st ban. I don't see how 60s of sitting around will help. If DCs are a problem you're still impacting others, adding 60s of nothing wont help.

Exactly what happened to me but the second time for the idiotic 2 hour wait was because all the champs I was going to choose were taken and every champ I asked if it was a good idea my team said "no" and I panicked and couldnt scroll through the list enough to find someone to choose who would be "acceptable" and by the time someone suggested someone I couldnt figure out where their icon was alphabetically. So I got booted from Q and put on a wait list. I find it pretty unreasonable for 2 hour wait. Completely closing out LoL is ENTIRELY different than not deciding on a champ. Just messed up in general. Like, I wasnt trying to dodge, if I wanted to dodge I would have closed it.
