Seriously every single game I'm in these days people autolock in 3 seconds, don't communicate, or all want to go mid or top, nobody picks the other roles for team. Its impossible to get even a TEAM on normals outside ranked. Being able to chose your intended role pre-matchup is important I think. Nobody wants to Jungle, nobody wants to support lmao.

What are you doing, playing BLIND?
ChaosReyn2 voteswell duh...everyone blames the jungler for everything, and everyone wants to make the support their excuse for doing bad. As a support main, I'm used to my adc's typical "that wasn't warded, so you're bad cause I got caught!" crap...I just spam ping their warding trinket (2 charges, always)...but the life of a support is not for everyone.
Neither is the life of a jungler...though with the jungle it's a lot harder. You have to shotcall every gank and objective, you have to literally play god and be in 3 lanes at once without leeching exp, and you have to have exquisite farm without touching any lane minions, or your ENTIRE TEAM is gonna flame you.
Why would ANYONE want to be in those two constantly abused roles when they can just play a braindead damage role and join the bandwagon of people who flame those roles when they prove to be more braindead than their point-and-click murder machine of choice?
AndurilWielder1 votesYeah, tell me about it. I have a lot of support champs, but only a few jungler ones.
I can fill though and usually do, when I do its almost always either supp or jg, haha.
Last game as Jinx I had a Thresh support who did good on hooks, and what not but was over aggressive alot, setting up in the river, wound up getting dived on consistently during laning phase and I constantly got singled out after. and during.
That being said, supports carry the adc, make it possible for them to do well. If the support does well, the adc doesn't have much excuses if they do poorly. (I did have a volibear on the other jungler and would always gank every time and get his throw perfectly. I actually like being the support. Its pretty fun. Jungler I'm not comfortable with though.
MiracleMorg941 votesYes please. I miss this so much, not only because you can pick your team but also you do off meta picks and have a team accept you if they are fine with it and not have to be ridiculed or attacked for it.
I miss those days. Picking old Sejuani support and wrecking the crap in the bottom lane, or going something else like Zyra jungle. So fun!
Please Riot, bring TB back!
BlueNinja891 votesI don't mind Support but I hate to Jungle because it is the position with the highest pressure.
Most people play what they know. However, imagine that your Top Laner is first pick and they pick Poppy which to which the enemy top responds by picking Darius Top. If the Jungler doesn't gank this lane constantly the Poppy will get pushed out of lane and then the (probably fed) Darius will roam on the other lanes.
Basically the Jungler's job has gone from "clear Jungle camps to keep team's overall gold high" to "gank lanes that have unfavorable match-ups". And that doesn't even usually work because you are either by yourself against a fed enemy or you are 1 v 2 against fed enemies.
Honestly, I just wish we could have the option of either Jungling or being a support for the Top Laner. I mean... Duo Top is usually the fallback if the Jungler forgets Smite anyway. So why not just pick a support champion (like Soraka) and go support the usually lonesome Top Laner.
Besides... If you do well as Top Support you and the Top Laner could go for Rift Hearld.
Hmmm... I think the next time I get filled Jungle I'll just go Top Support instead. :)
Sukishoo1 votesI never have a problem choosing my intended role, unless you are playing Blind pick as that mode has always been an unbalanced mess of "OMG INSTALOCK!"
Souji1 votesI would LOVE to have Team Builder back. Sadly, I don't think that will happen.
