You can also redo key bindings to have all the new pings be "fast pings" instead of in a context menu | ||

Season 2 was played a very specif way, and aside from a few minor changes the Season 3 meta is pretty similar (in terms of roles, different champs picked of course). Honestly I don't see it changing much in the future. The meta game in terms of picks will change while the specific roles stay the same. S1 also had almost no tournaments with only two LANs for NA teams (WCG 2010 and Season 1 Finals). Considering most of what people do is just copying pro players it's not much of a surprise that S1 was so chaotic. Also important to note that until the very end of S1 all of the 'pro' teams didn't really practice they just played solo queue. For a lot of S1 you had stuff like ADC going mid lane and APs going top lane but by the end of S1 every team was running solo top, AP mid, AD+support bottom, and jungle. | ||

Either it has to be a hard lock system that punishes people for straying from their queue'd role, or you're not changing anything. LoL doesn't need a "LFG system", it just needs people to get banned for not respecting pick order. There is no diference with stating your roles at the beggining of the game, that's the point. It would just make it so there can no longer be 2 or more "mid only" players in 1 team. Of course roles would be locked when the champion select pops, it would just create an instance where players can be baned for claiming another role than the one they queued for. If you want to make a 3 mage comp, by all means try to do it in the actual system. I don't see how it would be harder to make it happen with a role calling system. a sidelane carry doesn't mean it's a ranged ad, it means it's a champion that's going to take the most farm it can from the lane. There would still be a champion select with a chat you know. Vague tags help not enforcing the "EU" way of playing on anyone. You can still lane swap, you can still play 2 bruisers in a duo lane, you can play ap champions if you want too. Champions picked for each role should not be a reportable offense. You should be able to play an ap champion bot and irelia jungle if you want. Right now the game is played with 3 farm dependant champions in each lanes (carrys) 1 farm independant champion in 1 of those lanes (support) and a jungler that do random stuff. Variations are the oldschool split farm duolane. Unless some crazy 3 man lane happens, I don't see how you can change it around too much. Besides, significant lane composition changes will appear in 5s teams, not soloqueue. Soloqueue should be a place to just play with people on your level, practice mechanics. If I want to practice my ad carry and i get last pick, well that sucks for me. I will still play support if I have to, but I would have rather played something else. take it to the extreme, some persons have jobs, they get home, the only thing they want is to play a nice and fast viktor mid game. bam they're fifth pick cause RNG. what they do? sure they can suck it up and play support, but maybe they dont want to play support, maybe they're just really really itchy to play viktor mid. So they threaten to feed and all that good stuff. Or they dodge. None of these are very cool for him. Riot enforcing picks by order makes that happen. But they have to play everything to become better players right? Well you need to realize most of us don't give a damn about getting better, they have a 5s team, they play toplane for their team, they want to get better at top. that's it. (and even you could argue that focused practice by mass playing the same champion x times in a row makes better practice than random stuff all games). pick filter also makes it easier for people with few runepages | ||

I pick it up in soloQ if I have a support that doesn't have a heal. When I'm playing with my friends where I know my support is solid it's Dblade erryday. | ||

Would be hilariously fun to play whatever the hell I want and do whatever I want in a game. I wouldn't play it all the time but some of the most fun games I've had is when I get a team where everyone is just like, "fuck it let's all go mid," or, "let's play a team where everyone has a shield (or a heal)." | ||

You can do that in normals with friends. Currently on the table to be played next is Team Hook City with Blitz, Thresh, Naut, Darius, and Amumu. Amumu is kind of a cheat BUT HE'S CLOSE. | ||

And I say this as someone who in the past was an "only jungle" person. I feel like in doing so I stunted my growth as a player and was generally less pleasant to play with because of it. I very much agree with you, but in the end the player's enjoyment of the game should take precedence, and in this case, letting players have more control over what they want to play without being a detriment to others is great. Moreover, if I want to get better at AP mid, the most efficient way is probably to play 10 AP mid games in a row so that the to let your skills and instincts with that role cement properly. | ||
