I miss old pick order.

Let's all be honest here, while the old pick order wasn't perfect it was actually pretty damn successful. Very rarely will you have someone troll because they didn't get the lane they want. It also promotes generalization where a lot of people know how to play at least two or three roles at their rank level instead of now where a lot us only know how to play one, max two roles at our current rank. The majority of people climbed to where they deserved to be with pick order so it's not like it skewed someone's ranked compared to our current system. Maybe it's just my nostalgia, but I really do think the old pick order wasn't that bad.

no, while the current system is broken for support and fill roles its great for everything else, its MUCH better than the old system.

the while idea of "i i randomly got placed above you in que" so i can pick w/e role i want and force you into a role u cant play.. is bullshit

plus the first person having all 3 bans was also stupid

dynamic que is aweful, but the new champ select with primary and secondary roles is a godsend

the old one was horrible for anything except 5 man premades

This is why you learn to play all roles in ranked or at least 3/5 unlike one trick ponies now.

No, this is wrong. The first sentence is simply wrong. People trolled all the time for their role and champion select was held hostage WAY more than it is now.

I've played thousands of game with pick-order and get a troll once every twenty or twenty five game which is easily solved with a dodge

The one where last pick was just shy of always being support? I had to learn support cuase of that, now all my other lanes are so far behind that i cant do anything but nami.

Support taught me how to consistently ward so it wasn't too bad of a role to learn.

You clearly are omitting the "X or Feed" people.

Players are still feeding other roles.

They aren't forcing you to play off-role for it anymore.
