New Draft

A couple of things I'm really unhappy about with the new normal draft:

First, it takes a lot longer for me. I play support, and with the old team builder I would normally be placed on a team in a few seconds and then a match would be found within another few seconds. Games would be on in almost no time at all. I tried the new draft this morning and from the time I clicked "Play" to the time I was in game it was about 10 minutes. I don't have a lot of time, and I value the time I have. Adding 9+ minutes to the time it takes me to play a game isn't cool. How is this progress??

Second, when I want to play a role, I want to play that role, not some secondary role. This morning I listed support as primary and jungle as secondary. It came up jungle. I decided fine, I would be a good citizen and not dodge. I did not enjoy that game at all. Because of that game, I'm less likely to play another game today, maybe tomorrow. Next time I will dodge and take whatever time penalty I get (hey, I'm already waiting a long time. and if it becomes too much of a pain, there are other games I can play). Sorry, but when I dodge in the future, I'm not going to feel bad about it; I'm going to blame Riot.

The new draft seems fine for a draft, but from my perspective it pretty much sucks, and I would prefer the old team builder.
