can we get a button for random gods

I agree, it would be annoying for league matches. I would hope, if they did implement it that is would be disabled in league but for normal unranked conquest, joust or arena I don't see a problem with it.

You'd be able to see it when they locked it in, so you could build around it and the only issue would be with last minute insta-lockers but those people are an issue regardless of the random select. Them not being able to fulfill a role isn't the problem it is with people expecting/demanding a role, such as calling ADC, Jungle, or Solo before the game even starts and fighting over a position.

I get wanting to play your favorite role or the role you wish to train. This is the reason you play unranked after all but for those people who don't know what role they want to play, the best way to learn is to try someone new. It also helps someone who is relatively new to the game by giving them experience with more than just one god. This way when they get to Ranked they have more than 16 god's mastered and they can contribute more gods to their respective role's pool. (diversifying their role's played at the same time)

The issue you have with this only really stems from the fact that you use the set formula Duo-Jungle-Mid-Solo and not from the fact that a random-god-select option would be viable/helpful to players. As you said, if they really wanted to, they could use an outside program which wouldn't stop them. So why not add an in-game function that would deter them from using this method in a ranked game (where it would hold reasonable meaning to someone) by requiring them to use an outside source in ranked. (which would be an added hassle compared to an option in the lock-in screen)

TL;DR: In my opinion, It only hurts conquest and if they only implement it into unranked/normal conquest, joust, and arena it would give players more versatility and diversity in gods/roles played; helping out league matches overall.
