Can riot for once remove player collision during draft pick

I actually stopped playing tft before the latest patch because of this. Almost every game I'm in, there's always 1-3 players intentionally blocking your way during drafting causing you to either:

not be able to get the exact champion/item you want in time or
they pushed you into another champion you're not trying to get

I came back into the gamemode after the latest patch hoping they would deal with this problem but no. Still the same thing, players will still block your way, players will still roam around the champion pool. Seriously, once you got the champion/item you want, MOVE OUT OF THE GOD DAMN WAY.

Its probably intentional they allow that, another form of outplaying someone, forcing them away. A way to get an advantage, you know?

something something small indie company something something can't fix it something something can't fix the spaghetti code

I'd love for the 10 year surprise to be a new engine so there's no more spaghetti code. Riot has millions of dollars, they can't set this side project aside?

Doubtful... considering the direction of the latest terrible patch... they will likely increase it.

Judging by the comments, looks like the TFT community is convincing themselves that this "strat" involves some sort of skill.

Sorry, your game is still 100% RNG based.

So? Just make sure to move towards the circle asap.

Personally I end up being lazy and staying in the circle but its not for trying to abuse unit collision, its because I want to minimize how much APM I need. But honestly I have no idea why unit collision exists for the Little Legends, it pretty much makes the drafting phase more annoying than necessary. I've never actually had an issue getting items I want from people sitting there, but on the start draft people shoving each other out of the way for a meta item is very common. Oddly, the first person to move somehow loses priority in a lot of cases and just gets shoved back even if they had the advantage to get that pick.

Anyone who does hate this though shouldn't be pissed at people who do it because they're lazy or want an advantage. It's pretty much Riot's fault for refusing to remove it.

I like to fill time after picking the champion I want out of the carousel by marching a ring around the ring. Sometimes I bump into another Little Legend though, and I'd prefer if that didn't happen both for their sake and mine.
