Who is the fucker that made AP Nidalee popular again? Except for maybe in the hands of 0,0001% of the LoL community, she is absolutely WORTHLESS and has ZERO presence in teamfights.
I'm totally fine with bruiser nid who can tank and at least interrupt / permaslow the enemy carry, but AP Nidalee just does NOTHING. Throw a spear every 6 seconds, hit maybe every 4th/5h and NEVER hit a crucial one. We've been dominating the game, but couldn't finish. So the enemy kept up and you just can't win with AP Nidalee on your team.
I've had the exact opposite experience. AP Nidalee is one of the most bullshit champs in the game. First off, she NEVER dies. It is pretty much completely impossible to kill her, ever. Secondly, in those stupid situations where both teams just kind of hang around mid (which happen very often), but noone wants to commit, she is absurd. Hit one spear, get tower because the enemy can't fight at 1/3 health anymore. You can't escape her if anything goes wrong. And even if you win a teamfight because her team was stupid enough to engage before you are at 30% hp, half your team will just try to catch her in the jungle and get speared to death. As long as Nidalees team is smart enough to try to avoid engages unless the enemy has already been speared a few times, she is murderously good. Especially in soloqueue where it is pretty hard to convince your team to hard engage. Of course it also depends on the amount of hard engage you have in your team. But the average soloqueue team just has no way of handling her.
I don't like her neither in solo queue nor in ranked 5x5 on my side of the team. Yes, she is annyoing to catch and all, but her DPS are so unreliable which is what I don't want my AP carry's DPS to be. I expect him to BLOW THINGS UP and to say "BOOOM MADAFAKKAAA UR DEAD l0l".
As soon as a fight starts (which in my experience is the exact opposite in solo queue: people fight the most retarded situations for no reason), the typical AP Nidalee player (I never had a Froggen on my team playing her) sits far behind, throws and misses the first spear almost always.
In the meantime, I play a decent Jungle Shen and peel for our carry while our bruiser dies trying to kill their AD. I have the feeling like I tank for hours. And then, I finally died a glorious death, the dust settles and we have lost four people while they still have three half HP players left after Nidalee hit like 1 out of 3 or 4 spears the whole fight.

The way TPA played in the finals was a 4+1 comp, the 1 being Stanley's top. The other 4 are capable of defending towers and such while he can just splitpush with Nid. It seems to also depend on Stanley destroying lane pretty hard (big man carry) so that the enemy team needs to send more than one to deal with him, and its hard as heck to catch a Nid. Its a good strategy, but needs the comp to make it work, like a mid like Ori/Anivia/Karthus and stuff for the rest of the team.

They need to make it if you random lock a champ in ranked it goes down as a dodge and you lose points.
My PC crashes and won't start for 5 minutes so I random jungle rumble. I don't care if I lose ELO but it is a joke that my team has to go into the game and everyone loses ELO because the stupid system allows random lock champions.

my 100% win rate hec just lost because 4v5 afk from start graves... just when i had hope again

Someone picks Jarvan support against Twitch/Taric when I'm Cait because he's "bad at support" and then argues that Leona isn't better than Jarvan. Proceeds to get chunked by Twitch if he walks within a screen of Twitch. Also buys like 2 wards for the first 20 minutes of the game, while Twitch is busy roaming top and mid because Jarvan has so little presence he can't even fight Taric 2v1 without losing half his health.
Really bad run of teams today- so many ragers and trolls. Got demoted to gold 3.

They need a system so you pick what role you want before queuing. Save a lot of trouble calling/arguing for roles in champ select, and make it really obvious if someone is trolling or something.

I dislike the notion that something should be nerfed only because it's strong in soloque

I really have no idea why such a system is not in the game already. I guess it has something to do with riot not wanting to force a specific kind of meta onto the game or something like that, but they don't appear to have a problem with that at other times. Or maybe they fear that people will just queue for support because it gets them a lower queuing time and then tell their team "Either i get top or i go AP Yi support."
I'd still say that the pros outweigh the cons, but that might just be because i am a supp/jungle player and would thus get instant queues anyways.

Yes. And the ability to turn off the goddamn champion select screen music.

Well there would be trolls who abuse the queue system, but the abusers would probably get reported out pretty quickly. I understand the meta thing, but I find it hard to believe that there is that much more you can do. You can run an all mid comp, a double jungle comp, move your duo to a different lane, but there's not much more than that. In this particular aspect, I think LoL has hit the ceiling. You could even have an option to be matched with people who picked roles, except with a small elo penalty over a normal queue.
I play support/ jungle mostly as well. Jungle is pretty popular, support is taken a decent amount of times though usually by people who don't know what the fuck they're doing. If support has good queue times, hopefully more people will then try to play support and learn how to do it well-- queue times for different roles would probably even out or reach some sort of equilibrium eventually.

In before people queue as support because it has the shortest queue time, and then try to do something else.
It happened in WoW.

I'd love that but it would be unrealistic to expect it to work. Do you set out a certain pool of champs you can play if you select a role? Of course not (Think of something like top where just about anything gets a run).
I want three things from Riot this year:
- A proper replay function
- No random lock in ranked
- Chat logs kept in pre/post game lobbies, and able to report people in pregame lobby
Creating a new client is unrealistic as that would take forever.
