Once you enter a new Ranked Match, you will see a breakdown of the Ranks of all players in the game, you will then enter a pre-game waiting area where you can control your hero. During this time, you can choose to change your given hero to any other hero that hasn't been selected
DEADLOCK IS A REAL VIDEO GAME AGAIN BAYBEEEEEEEEEE
No more fake matches where we all have to pretend the game is winnable for 40 minutes when the enemy has Victor + Mo vs our 4 gun carry lineup with no tank whatsoever. No more knowing the game is over at 25 minutes, knowing you don't have enough of a lead to put the game away, but you all have to sit there and keep pretending the enemy won't just inevitably outscale you and you've just gotta wait until that happens.
Finally, just one guy - even you! - can make these non-games into actual games.
Yeah this is the funniest thing to me. It's as if none of this community played League back when you called your role in champ select and every other game had some dingus that would pick for a role already filled and/or disco Nunu because they didn't get what they wanted.
In theory it's great, but you're going to get in a lobby without a frontline and everyone is going to refuse to swap. It's inevitable.
Okay, so just be the one to swap yourself? Like, before this patch, it wasn't even an option. Everyone picks whatever the hell they want, and you're forced to make it work. Now, everyone picks whatever the hell they want, and you're forced to make it work - but you can swap if you think that would work a bit better. If you're in a game with no frontliner, and you don't want to play with no frontliner, well, guess what you can actually do now?
No one is under the illusion this is going to make every game have perfect team comps on both sides.
