Unable to pick a champion at the beginning of the game

Serenity VIP··6 votes·2,157 views

Other game modes have a wait time, in order for everyone to load into the game. Why doesn't TFT have the same wait time? Since the launch of TFT, I have never gotten a chance to choose the first champ. Can you include longer wait time for everyone to load into the game?

Others have that problem. Even under optimal circumstances the best that anybody can do is probably choose among the three closest. First draft isn't that important.

are you serious? the first pick is what can make or break your game, its about the item you can get and not the champion

Think about that for a second.

My entire strategy is based on going what luck throws me for a champion, since I never get in before its finished.

I agree with this . They should wait for all the players to load into the game before the game starts. I'm almost always having the worst items because I don't get to choose in the carousel because I didn't load fast enough. Why this game should be any different to other games when it comes to waiting other players to load?

I'm only going to hope that Riot see this or at least know that there is an issue and implement a better wait time.

I get your same problem cos my internet sucks. Though nowadays, I just accept a game, and then alt tab and let the game autopilot for the first round.

I can always work around my first buy later.

I do that too, but the issue can be fixed with a simple time gate like other game modes. Riot even said they made a time wait in SR because they wanted it to be fair that everyone loaded in together, as there were advantages for those who loaded in faster than everyone else.

I agree that this is an issue. But it should be noted that there IS a waiting period after you spawn in when you can't touch the champions.

If you try to walk through one you end up hitting an invisible wall for a few seconds. Obviously those few seconds aren't enough time for everyone to spawn in.

I know about the small gate time, but I was hoping for one a bit longer :( I really just want Riot to know there is a problem and give feedback if they would implement for a later date.
