Team Builder for Ranked

I would like to have some sort of role choosing in Solo/Duo Ranked matches. I don't exactly know how the draft pick is established but I seem to be always bottom and just stuck with whatever I don't want to play, normally Support. Any chance of implementing a Team Building search but instead of just choosing your character before searching you just choose your role preference and the game auto locks you in with others that fills the team and no accept or denied options? This way we could enjoy the ranked side of gaming without worrying of being stuck with something we don't enjoy or others dodging games and causing it even more difficult to move up.

In one of the team builder discussions they mentioned they may implement one for a ranked q. But that's still a ways off since it has just now been released their probly working on other projects.

As far as ranked/draft pick goes the highest person gets first pick, second gets second and so on. this does not mean however that if the first and second person pick at the same time (purple side) that they are of equal pick ranking, it is still by order. this has been established for some time now and is the most convenient way of determining a soft set of "rules" to prevent pregame fighting. It has nothing to do with computer speed/connection. position on the ladder is completely random according to riot even in duo q. So yes, being last pick gets the last open position which happens to generally be support. The main advice i can give is be good at support, main 1 other and be atleast competent in everything.

part of the issue may be though that you remember the bad experiences more than the good. playing your favorite role isnt nearly as impactful memory-wise as getting forced to play support and having a bad experience. this isnt to say that one happens more often than the other just remembered differently.

It's determined by computer / internet speed. First come first serve into the draft room.

Yes I can understand the worse games stick better than most in memory but plenty of people just don't communicate their choices prior to making them or even dodge the Q just because someone locked into their roll leaving you 4v5. I understand its a large implementation to ask for but just like the team builder I think it allows those that only get to play a short amount of time each night to enjoy what they have invested in to the best of their desires, otherwise its more of a job when trying to play.

this would ruin the idea of solo que on being decent in every role. To being high ranked in this game
