Please just give us Normal draft back permanently, It feels like whenever I feel physically dirty whenever I step into that cesspool of Yasuo and Yi mains.

Play recruitment or ranked then.

Just don't play it?

Jesus christ how hard can it be?

EUNE doesn't have access to Draft Pick for half the day. If someone' isn't into ranked, then they are forced to play Blind Pick, which is indeed cancerous.

How come they don't?

Also, this is the NA boards so complaining about something that's strictly on EUNE should be done on the EUNE boards (unsure if they have one. Alternatively it should be discussed on the EUW boards).

Riot decided that some servers just didn't have the population to maintain 24-7 Normal Draft, Ranked Solo/Duo Draft, and Flex Draft all at once without it impacting queue times too much. Right now only 2 or 3 servers have Normal Draft available at all times, NA, EUW, and I think BR (but I can't recall for certain). Riot wasn't sure if they were going to cut back Normal Draft on those servers at a later date.

But, like, why even give them Draft Pick 1/2 of the day then? Why not just don't give them one at all?

Also, who still plays Flex? They could literally solve this issue by just removing Flex.

At first they did completely remove Normal Draft. If the forum posts are to be believed, that lead to a lot of people using Ranked like Normals, just so they could play the game with bans.

Riot considers the game to be at it's best when it's played with a team of 5 who practices with each other then competes in a competitive environment. That's the end game goal Riot has for players. Solo Queue doesn't provide that. Normals don't provide that. Only Flex and Clash provide that. Clash is still too new to consider as a replacement for Flex, and only serves full 5 man teams. Flex will likely be around at least until Season 9, maybe Season 10.

II play Flex. At this point, it's like playing a normal game where people don't tryhard but don't troll either, so I can play something to practice and I know I won't see a lot of mains on the opposition, while being in a situation where people play seriously enough to get a good grasp on what I'm doing right or wrong.

Riot has the mechanic where 12 hours is just Blind Pick, and the other 12 hours are both, because they want to gather numbers on how much do people play draft etc. It's been so freaking long with this though, and I'm sure like almost no one enjoys Blind over Draft.

By the way, people come on NA boards because it has most traffic, so it's not a region thing.
