So is Team Builder EVER be implemented in Ranked?...somehow?

I don't know what happened during the past few months. But I already played 3 ranked games since the start of the season and I'm starting to see games that are literally lost right during champion select as though I'm bronze again.

The last weeks of S4 have been great for ranked games. Everyone agreed. We laughed. And compromises were a rare thing unless someone made a minor mistake, but those were forgettable.

Start of S5, the games have gone a full 180 and suddenly people threatening to troll or stubbornly locking into roles that an earlier player already picked into as though it's bronze again. There are the "first time Kalista wish me luck!", and those who didn't know jungle got an overhaul and can no longer buy Spirit of the Elder Lizard anymore...

I guess my point is...

WTF HAPPENED IN THE PAST WEEKS?!

I agree. I've always wanted a partial team builder for ranked. As in, you pick your role and queue and then go through normal pick and banning phases and so forth but everyone has the role that they wanted and there's no fighting or trolling over roles. If it were implemented I feel ranked would see a HUGE improvement on toxicity within teams that start prior to the match and at the beginning of the match as well as a bigger improvement in mmr consistency instead of certain players getting a role they don't know how to play well and losing the game over a simple choice of position for them and their teammates.

That...and impose a strict 10-game requirement in Normals before being allowed to play any champions in Ranked.

This would be god to me, I am sick and tired of actually fighting for my main role which is support. Back in season 4 I never had to, no one would call for support back then and I got the Silver V that I wanted. Now in S5? I'm in bronze V cause of lane fighters, duo que's bot lane that just end up feeding with me saying in my head "I know I should have supported" or just flat out afks for pizza. This is getting rediculous and know I can't even come close to climbing out of bronze V, AGAIN because of feeders.

My boyfriend who duo's with me was very upset we got bronze V. He even sent tickets to rito to do something about their toxic community, I know its free internet and everything but this is stupid. Last season people were nice and everyone who was a well balanced/skilled player got the placement they wanted. All of my friends and people I just met in ranked ended up in bronze, and they play extremely well enough NOT to be there.

If rito would just make team builder a thing in ranked, you could invite people you trust to help carry you out of the terrible rank you do not belong in. All I'm saying. I'm tired of being forced to make a team like were trying to get into the LCS, cause were not rito. You have enough and make enough money to actually put your foot down and actually say you give a shit about your community, cause yea the trolls will still pay you and the LCS but when all your good players are gone? How much will your reputation be without us? Face it, and face it now. The GOOD people who actually play this game for fun is what draws more money to you...not the LCS. My opinion but I stick to it. If people see they're not gonna have fun and just get trolled and lose games every 20 - 30 minutes of trying to turn it around. They're just going to move to something else. There are other games out there to play, I know trolls are everywhere it's free to play, but I don't believe they're as bad as the troll League players.

If you don't mind 30 min ques then root for Team Builder in ranked. I main support (and normally back up is jungle) and it's a quick for me to find a team in TB. But when I try to practice my mid lane, adc or top it takes forever. And even if they got rid of every other style of games, the low number of people who want to support/jungle doesn't change. Besides, if you can't play more than 1 or 2 roles then people should not be able to climb.
