Ranked Teambuilder - you've GOT to be kidding me

So, according to "Riot plz", Riot's new quarterly development blog, they're aiming to move all of ranked over to teambuilder at the start of the 2016 season. Thankfully, they're at least making one change - you'll be picking two roles (one of which can be 'fill').

That said, I think this is a HUGE mistake.

Yes, I'll be the first to admit, it SUCKS when you get a person on your team who can either only play 1 role, or even can't play 1 specific role and gets stuck there, then proceeds to feed in a bad role and costs you the game. Sure, that sucks. And that's pretty much exactly why teambuilder should NEVER have existed in the first place. You shouldn't be able to get to level 30 without knowing how to play every role. You shouldn't be playing ranked at all if you can't play certain roles.

To make ranked move over to teambuilder punishes EVERYONE who doesn't constrain themselves to 1 or 2 roles.

Take my playstyle for instance. My BEST role is jungle. Go ahead and take a look at my match history, do you notice something? If I'm playing jungle, I'm only playing Hecarim. I've chosen 1 jungle champion (at the time I chose to do that, Hecarim was never banned and picked in fewer than 0.5% of my games ignoring my picks, this was mid season 4). You know what happens when Hecarim gets picked/banned? I go a different role. So now, what's my option when I queue in as jungler and Hecarim gets picked or banned? That's a pretty unfair change in my opinion.

The same pretty much applies to mid lane for me, I almost exclusively play Ahri (and have since mid season 4, I started playing mid season 4 btw). What happens if I queue up for mid and Ahri gets picked/banned? At least I have some experience with LB and TF but still, I'm going to be just as weak as those players getting stuck in their off roles above.

In the current style of the game, draft mode, my strategy works wonderfully. I have 1 jungle champion that I wreck with. I have 1 mid laner that I (aside from when I haven't played in a while as it's difficult to get practice mid upon return) do pretty consistently well with. I have a small selection of ADCs that I do fairly consistently well with. I have a small selection of supports that I can hold my own with. I have a small selection of top laners that I can hold my own with.

I get to fill for what my team needs, I get to play a champion I know and like, I get to practice a variety of roles and experience the whole game, and I do well in the majority of my games regardless of where I'm playing. All while only really having played a significant number of games on only 3 champions, and having at least a handful of games on probably a total of 12 champions.

After this sort of a change? I get to queue for Jungle/ADC or Jungle/Mid or Mid/ADC, and then if I get assigned to Jungle/Mid I have to clench really hard and hope that Hecarim/Ahri isn't picked/banned and dodge whenever it happens (which, after their season 5 reworks buffed both of them, will probably be reasonably often). Oh, and I'll never play top or support and will gradually forget how those roles are played and thus will become a worse player overall because I can't anticipate what the players in those roles will do when I try to gank for them or something.

I don't know, this is getting pretty long and winded, but I just DON'T GET IT.

Why fix what isn't broken?

Why change something that's only going to move where the problem is rather than eliminate it altogether?

Why put us through the huge queue times that will arise as a result of no one wanting to play support in low-medium elo?

People don't snowball so hard or feed so hard because someone is in their off role and just doesn't have a clue. They snowball because it's easy to pressure a lead and most players suck at playing from behind in anything but the best circumstances. They snowball because if they were enough better than you to get a lead over you in the first place, they're going to still be better than you and have the advantage of more gold to increase that lead.

All this change is going to do is make players who have spent time learning a few champions in their off-roles lose the value of that effort, and force them to learn more champions in their main roles in case their favourites are picked/banned.

If you're set on doing this, at least just make it that you can say "I don't want this 1 role" and need to be willing to do the other 4. Although I really wish you'd just reconsider as a whole. This is a waste of effort on your end and will burden a lot of players who have embraced the current system on our end.
