Usually 1-2 people do this every game I'm in. Pretty frustrating. Rather than work as a team, we end up having to work around these idiots. There really should be like a 10-20 second period before anyone can lock in.

Solution: Don't play blind pick. It's a ****ty game mode for this reason, and you really should be playing draft - especially if you want to play Ranked at any point ever.

I am doing draft. it's not really much different. It just happens a little less frequently.

Better get used to it, it happens in ranked as well. One more reason to be decent at any role.

That's what I'm trying to do. Get decent at all roles, just incase.

well
i used to instalock...its cause i played several hundred games as that champ ... but yea..it got its own limit...

Just start playing support, It's pretty fun actually and then your role will never be taken by some ******* instalocking adc

Also, just throwing it out there: You're allowed to pick whatever you like. If first pick wants mid, it doesn't matter whether last pick called it or not. Go read the summoner's code - it says to pick as your team needs. It's annoying, but you should be able to play everything.

Obviously you're allowed to pick. But it's a team based game. If you just autolock whoever you want, you shouldn't be playing.

Why not? The point of the game is to have fun. I personally enjoy playing ADC. I don't enjoy playing support or jungle. Why should I, in a non-ranked queue, be forced to play a role I don't enjoy?
