idea for new team builder (that isn't just making it pick one role)

so I keep seeing everyone making the argument that they want to pick one role. but Riot and many others are explaining. If we allow picking one role only, queue times will be HEAVILY affected

so what can we do? everyone has games where they want a specific role :/ but we also don't want to kill queue times

well why not do something similar to the reroll system in aram

every 5 or 6 games you play you earn a "token" that guarantees you your primary role for one game. those that don't want to use it can choose not to.. but it would mean for those that REALLY want to play their main role for a game can do so.

by giving tokens through playing games, it also promotes playing MORE games, which might further improve queue times.

I think this is just one possible solution for this problem, and I'd love to hear thoughts on what people think or other ideas on how to solve this problem

but just allowing one role queue is not acceptable and that's obvious, I think this idea might be a step in the right direction... thoughts?

tl;dr use a system like aram reroll that let's you get your main roll if you play enough games

Honestly that's not to bad of an idea. Might have some kinks to work out but could be very possible.

What you're asking for is a way to earn dodges. Dodging still increases queue time, so it's not a good solution.

The system right now could match five players who picked Mid as their primary role. It's not like ARAM where you can just grab a new champ to play, you'd be kicking the person in Mid out of Mid to do it with the same lobby. And what if two of these five Mid players did it? No, the only way to get a new team together, thus a dodge.

Then why were the queue times fine before when it was one champion in one role?

Also, an infinite queue time, which is what we have now, is far longer than anything that would happen.

I admit this proposal is reasonable and would be a nice gimmick.

BUT it creates a loose-loose situation and thats why they ont implement that:

You loose because those who are complaining will still complain. You loose because it will affect Q times. (slightly but it does)

An other Idea would be to change the normal mode without touching the ranked one. Means you can Q for ONE ROLE in normals but still have to pick two for ranked. Ranked players wont complain because they are used to this. And this bring back Teambuilder QQ would maybe end... But this feel really akward. So I guess it wont happen as well. ^^ And actually, I dont care. It's a game with diffrent roles and champions. I fyou cant play more than one you maybe should return to... no idea even CS has roles! For all this QQ makes me sad... it's like saying in Chess, HEY dude I'm bad with those figures I will just play with my Queen.. say WHAT! (exaggerating.. obviously ^^)
