add a timer to the team preview box/other ideas

[Purplemauth]

1. Add a timer to the Team Preview box. Having no indication of time then getting hit with a loss and a 10 minute time out punishes you for thinking too much.

2. Keep the new "if both players dont pick, match is cancelled", but make it so that if one person picks and the other doesn't, then the player who didn't pick just uses the order they're already in. I don't understand why one player would get kicked for this?

 

Queues can be long. I have two monitors. I looked over at my other screen for, I guess, 30 seconds before realizing I had a game. Then I got a match cancel because I had no idea how much time I had left. I think this can be improved.

This is already the case, if you look close at the button in the middle. It changes its color overtime. Preview: Click here

If user A picks and user B doesn't it will count as a disconnect for user B, you should be attentive when queuing up for a ranked PVP match.

The Timer was already increased to flat 60 seconds with the new team-preview.

 

What do you think can be improved at the current system as a lot of the things you mentioned are already present in the game.

Thanks for the reply. I didn't notice it the bar since the colours are so similar.

 

I think the colours could be more contrasting to make it clearer (blue to red rather than blue to darker blue). Like I said, I couldn't tell it was there initially, which if I had known would solve my other problems. That would be my suggestion.
