Dear any riot employees,

so i was playing today for the first time, and decided to try out nemesis draft. i was 2nd pick and had Swain on me, and as i was happy that i would get to play swain, i did not realize that i had to choose for the enemy, so my timer expired and i got kicked out of queue.

as i heard ,there is rewards for people who do not dodge, i feel that i made a terrible mistake, and im sorry for it happening. i did not mean to do it, i just did not know how it works.

for any riot employee, if there is anyway you can remove this penalty from my account, i would greatly appreciate it. thank you.

The same thing happened to me. the first time I played nemisis, I did not realize it was my turn to pick and got kicked. then later on, even having played the mode 3-4 times I made the same mistake... and got banned from all game types for over an hour... this is way too harsh! I did nothing wrong or intentional ;_;

I understand the intention to discourage queue dodging... but when the game type design encourages accidental queue dodges that's just frustrating.

You should of figured out how it worked before you joined the queue...It also says it on the screen when you are supposed to pick for the other team.

The same thing happened to me- it was my second game, and I usually don't play ranked or any other type of game that I would need to use draft mode for. The last game I had picked a Garen for the other team because I panicked with the time limit, and I'd gotten yelled at. I didn't want to get yelled at again, so I was really indecisive about my pick. The time was ticking, I was panicking, and then bam- I was kicked. And then it said I couldn't re-queue for 15 minutes, AND I won't get the icon? Because of one teensy little panic attack? It doesn't really seem all that fair to me, especially considering I have a bit of a Collect-em-all atttitude towards summoner icons.

I think they could stand to be a teensy bit more generous with the restrictions. item 3070
