Why Remove TeamBuilder?

Just curious why when Dynamic Queue was released, you all decided to get rid of team builder. It was a very good game mode to try out new champions against actual people, and not against bots. It's really annoying when you buy a new champ and wana try the, out, and they get banned, or picked by someone else. Why not bring teambuilder back for normals? It wouldn't hurt anyone. Just a nice way to train a certain champ in a certain role. it would allow people to become more professional with their champions and mechanically more sound. I just dont wana fight bots to learn a champion or risk not playing them :c.

When the new champion select was released, it basically did everything that Team Builder could possibly want. It had shorter queue times, bans that let you not play against the most OP champions in a given patch, guaranteed a role for the champion you wanted to play, and let you pick a different champion if your team had a comp that would fit another champion better or if your opponent picked a counter to the champion you wanted to play.

I remember playing Team Builder so much while it was out, and found that the new champ select did everything I wanted with Team Builder, but better.

Oh, and dynamic queue and the new champion select are completely different things. One is the queue system that everyone hates and the other is the improved way to set up the game.

I believe the removal of team builder is connected to the lack of players overall in the game mode and in particular the lack of support players in team builder.

So people would have to choose between the new system or blindpick for norms?

It was due to lack of players in that mode also there were barely any support mains in that role.

Waves Hello Im a support main btw.

Thing is I played support in the other modes since nobody wanted that role anyway but if i wanted to play a meta champion in any role that isn't support I would normally wait 10 minutes to even 30 minutes one time just to get a support and find another team that has a full team.

Sometimes i do miss this mode but... i have to suck up the pain of not getting other roles in blind pick since some people are aholes who just instalock their champion to a lane/role when you already called it first -_-.
