Title says it all.

Team builder was a great way for people to try out new champs against real people. Bot games are over faster than you can blink and do nothing for learning a champ. After purchasing Gnar i wanted to try him out. So the last 8 games i queued for Top as my primary and a mix of bot and fill for my secondary. I went Top ZERO! times. I understand that they are trying to get you into a game faster and reduce queue times but seriously 8 straight games as my secondary choice? Bringing back team builder allows us to actually play WHERE we want to. With dominion about to be removed I see no reason why not to add it back.

But then again when was the last time Riot actually listened to their player base that was not in Diamond tier? Now i understand that the new champ select was meant to replace team builder but if you are going to replace team builder with the new champ select at least give us a better odds to get our primary. To be honest if increasing the chances of us getting our primary causes queue times to increase by 2 to 3 mins i would be perfectly fine with that. However, this is only my opinion and with out the support of the community it will be nothing more than a wall of text that is ignored and push under the rug.

To anyone out there that is thinking that i played ranked with him before i played normal draft put your fingers down and hold the hate comments back. I made sure to at least give him a decent vetting before i even thought about taking him into ranked. Honestly I still do not feel comfortable enough to take him into ranked with only 2 games with him top.

In the end bringing back team builder would ultimately result in more people playing simply because letting people play what they want will often increase their chance of coming back to play again.

I haven't played since it was removed. I check by once every few days to see if it's being brought back though.

Most likely they'll make a blind version of the new queue system, and still make you choose between two positions.
