This game NEEDS a Match Accept button similar to csgo or league or a ready up button similar to apex. There has been far too many times where my friends afk for a small bit or are just not ready yet and miss character select. Or situations where you accidently press play again and instantly get q pop. It is extremely frustrating to get a five minute penalty for a such a small quality of life fix that could have been done months ago. Is there a reason, that after a year of release, Riot has yet to implement such a small feature?

Just throwing my personal opinion out there on this, I don't work on these things at all - I love that there is no "match accept" button. Isn't queueing up itself the "ready" button? I hate when you're queueing in LoL and you have to click accept like, 5 times because people keep missing the ready check. I feel like I get way less queue dodges in VAL char select when compared with LoL ready-check misses.

I find instances of q dodge more frustrating in valorant because of the 90 second agent select. Personally feels like time wasted to sit the entirety of 90 seconds to be thrown back in q again. Clicking on the ready check multiple times before agent select is definitely more annoying but I feel like it'll save more time for those instances and be a net positive result when someone is dodging valorant agent select

Yeah I guess that makes sense, I only play in parties where we're all either in discord or voice, so miscommunication like that is rare.

I wonder what the data looks like between LoL/VAL around dodge rates and things like that. Is VAL meaningfully worse because we don't have a ready check? Hmmmmm

I agree with OP and one other use of a ready check is when you accidentally queue for the wrong gamemode. It doesn't happen often but when you do + instaqueue into a mode (comp) you don't wanna be in, it really sucks.

Ah man good point, I've done that before and it does really suck
