Did League of Legends remove picking?
No, League of Legends has not removed champion picking. The process of selecting champions, commonly referred to as “picking,” is a core part of the game and remains unchanged. Picking occurs during the Champion Select phase, where players choose their champions and roles before entering the match.
Key Details About Champion Picking

Confusion About Picking Being Removed
Some players may confuse this with other game changes, such as game mode rotations or the removal of specific queues (e.g., certain experimental game modes). However, champion picking remains integral to the League of Legends experience.
