So what your saying is less chance of cacti face-rolling on the keyboard ?

I guess thats a decent step in the right direction, but how does this differ from say SR draft. Whats to stop people from Rage dodge, trolling etc .... or just generally flooding into draft to spite people like they do in normals.

Pretty much this. A few minute queue times plus 5 minute CS for a 15 minute game is already bad enough. Add to that queue dodging and you can easily spend more time waiting for a game to start then you do playing the game.

I would go on the list, but I'm unlikely to be matched with people at the long-queue-times Elo, so I don't know how much my draft queuing would help.

Tell that to Blind Pick Bandits! >:/

The queue times and I have become really close... awkwardly close 0.0

Also, since it was brought up, whatever happened to the last DDD?(http://na.leagueoflegends.com/board/....php?t=2004107)

Why was this guy downvoted? He's spot on.

In blind pick people play what they want. In draft, let's say you ban Urgot, Yorick, Rammus, Kassadin, Wukong, and Poppy, someone is going to swoop and pick up whichever champions weren't banned: Warwick, Pantheon, Jax, etc. This is because draft mode is more competitive and people want to win, but also because people are afraid of someone choosing those guys themselves.

It's weird but draft teams often end up more stacked than blind teams, which have offpick champs much more often. Draft games might have a higher skill level, it's true, but they also tend to just be everything about dominion that makes dominion frustrating. Sorry, I don't WANT to see Pantheon in every game, and I don't want to be automatically punished with that guy I forgot to ban, just for banning Panth. SR with all it's flaws sees a much bigger array of champions at every elo but the very top. Dominion players are obsessed with having opportunities to stomp with Pantheon and Wukong, and Draft players especially.

So no, I'll stay in blind pick and get the occasional Rammus or Poppy or whatever and skip the queue times.

In simple terms, in blind, there's a chance I might end up with a couple of the top 10 champs on my or the enemy team. In draft, there's no longer just a chance, it's a certainty.

Go ahead and sign me up. But I'll let you know now, even a list of 500 people is nowhere near enough to significantly improve queue times. 500 people divided across 7 days, different time zones, and different elo levels spreads a player base thin. Sorry for the negativity. I think it's a great idea and I like the intentions behind it, I just think it will require a more active role on Riot's part to get the gears turning. There's nothing like official support to draw the bulk of the community's attention.

Add me to the list... But it still won't help with all the dodgers which is my main issue with draft

The biggest sucktaskic thing about draft is you counter pick their entire team. Only for the other team to notice this and just dodge with absolutely no penalty. Get on with your games and just blind pick until next season where they may have ranked play.
