as much as i hate it, it's pretty forgivable for people to forget to lock in and thus dodge accidentally in the first couple of weeks with the new champ select. for some people it's 5+ years of a habit of not locking in and using the time to do something. you don't just break that overnight

I usually end up typing in chat "hey guys just remember you got to lock in or it forces you to dodge."
It's such a disruptive change I have to assume they tested it out as a huge benefit, because I can't imagine them doing it to shave half a second. Lyte posted at one point saying that they found it sped up champ select by a lot, but I can't find the post.

Sometimes I click on the wrong champion. I wouldn't be able to change it.
What if once you select a champion the lock in button glows or something.
The dodges will be annoying for the first few weeks or maybe even a month, but people will get used to it. The dodge penalty ensures that. What I wish they'd do is have the client ALT-TAB to the front of your screen every time:
- It's your turn to pick
- It's your turn to ban
- Your champ preference has been banned or picked
and add reporting in champ select. I don't negotiate with elo-terrorists.

Pick intent can go so many ways. You can troll with like teemo and either people fight or somone just ban it and wasted a ban.
Or you can be serious and intent something like XXX (Feast or famine champion) teamates ban it because they don't want the risk and there goes your best champion.
Or you can intent a champion but it doesnt fit the comp and now everyone chimes in with their two cent.
Last few games i haven't intent anything and working out well.
It's getting to the point all my solo-Q games are turning into premade-5s though because so many dodges everyone basically havd nothing to do but shoot the shit for 20 minutes lol.
If you pick Teemo or Jhin, I'm banning that shit.
yeah pretty much
why remove the lock-in button? u should be able to change champions and troll the enemy team and all that. imagine if lcs now can't like hover teemo or anivia for froggen or mindgame the other team or whatever
it should just lock u in on the champion you're hovering when the time runs out. if u want ppl to pay attention make pick intent not auto select that champion when it's your turn or something
i dunno, lyte's data has been a bit suspect over the years lol
Why not just dodge rather than troll your teammate? Do you think they will play better and do more to win the game after you deliberately fuck with them before it even starts?
Well the idea is that if you fundamentally change how something works it should look fundamentally different
i usually don't like the rito penguin concepts cos they're like kind of too dark but this one was pretty good
i can't imagine a future where everyone's too lazy to lock-in because they don't have the dodge pressure so they always let the time run out.
maybe for a short while, maybe until rito applies some qol changes (maybe u should be able to doubleclick on a champion to lock them in), but i don't think having that time pressure is even good for the game, why add more stress when you're doing so good taking stress out
specially since it's this disruptive to a community of ppl like us that hey, i'm more than 3 years into this game and i'm gonna accidentally dodge a fuckton of games
i mean, idk, the current dodge problem is something that's gonna be eventually almost entirely a non-issue, but there's still gona be cases of promos losts because someone forgot about it and what's really there to be gained?

rito lyte on ranked 5s:
i think this is pretty dumb
i like ranked 5s a whole lot and we usually find games in less than a minute. sometimes they're stomps, sometimes they're not, but if u find a good game, coordinating with your friends and executing a team comp that takes advantage of everyone's skills and whatnot is like the best league's got to offer
i'm not in a big region, we don't even have draft normals ffs, so i have no idea what he's talking about a single game not being played in a day. where is that, even?
and breeding a new generation of tsm and clgs (lol), why should that be my problem. there's no reason whatsoever why you should remove ranked 5s if you want to change the challenger circuit, i don't get it
there's gonna be something better, eventually, but who knows how long it'll take and this reasoning is bullshit

Looking through that blood moon shen splash, I see 2-3 masks that aren't attached to champions yet. I wonder who...
I really, really like dynamic queue. I get my role in just about every game against people of my own skill level. Since everyone's on their main/comfortable roles, toxicity isn't as prevalent. The declared champions aspect makes complementing each other's picks easier. Taking 2/3/4 friends in just makes it even better. I'm guessing this isn't really the case in high elo but down in silver land, it's made the game a lot more enjoyable.
I guess I understand the incoming solo queue, but I feel dynamic queue could be refined enough to where extra queues wouldn't be necessary. Not sure how though.

That would look amazing on Azir with zombie knights

Clears seem kinda slow but he stays relatively healthy on doing them.

Halogaf was like Sauron always watching in that thread so...
i asked a mod to close it when i made this one but i guess they forgot

Unsurprising giving the amount of trouble that halogaf gave to mods for whatever reason. But hey, at least you got Ghaleon.
I don't know what is happening to lolesports in mobile. I have weeks that I can't log in there when in mobile. It sucks.
Also Riot Redbeard is now chairman of LCS, whatever that means. Adviser?
Looking good. The modern splash arts are so good.

Dear lord, is anyone else having to wait 30 mins in champion select to get a game going? Last two days have been awful. It keeps rotating between the three, supports, jungle and adc.
Last game I had a support team lead kick a Yorick toplane because it wasn't in meta. I cry for humanity some times.

as if 10 million people haven't already done that
that's the point. lool
I never understood why players who argue that a role or champion is easy to climb with never play with said champion/role. I remember a Cho'gath I killed at level 2 (and then again at level 3) last season All Chatting the entire game about how easy Annie is and how he would never play a noob champ. :/

So with never having played a MOBA I installed the game yesterday, don't know all the ins and outs yet but I can already sense the appeal
We made a thing to help you with learning the basics if you're interested
I would bet most of the times it's just salt, but sometimes it might actually be because they detest the champion itself and find it boring.
I would never be able to stomach playing Soraka all the time even if she had a 60% win rate, for example.

People who play Soraka are horrible human beings
Don't be fooled by their desire to "heal" dying people, that's what necromancers do

It's either them or lux support

Um. Holy shit. Cassio is going to be t1 now. She does insane amounts of damage and if she lands her Q, the move speed boost she gets will make her a kiting godess with that change.

Please join the neogaf chat channel and feel free to ask us anything at all here or there! We've all been where you are and we know it's a whole lot to take in
I think it's impossible right now? I remember reading something about that. They're aware of it.

You don't, that option is coming next patch. Oops.
