Team Builder needs a rework

I remember when team builder was first released and it was great. You could pick your champ and lane and not have to worry about the blind pick trolls. ( i.e ADC or feed) And it only took like 2 mins at max to find a group of people to create a team and play. BUT NOW it will literally take you 20 - 30 mins to just find one freaking support or even a jungle. WTF happened to team builder. This is insane having to wait so long just to play one game. I'm seriously about to quit using team builder and risk the troll waters of Blind pick, but I really don't wont too. Is Riot even aware of this issue and are they gonna do anything about it. I hate to see something that was great in the beginning fall apart because of neglect. I know i can't be the only person frustrated about this. Please raise your voice let it be heard so that Riot can do something about this before it becomes a black mark in an otherwise perfect game.

Start playing support. Problem fixed.

If queue times are long, it is because there aren't that many people using Team Builder. Honestly, I think TB was a failed idea from it's inception. Ok, maybe not failed, but definitely "only solving one problem among many".

The better solution, from the very beginning, would have be to allow people to rank the roles they are willing to play and display that next to their name in blind pick. The matchmaking system could have taken this info into account and attempted to match people with compatible preferences, but still allow people to chance at the last minute if needed.

On top of that, this alternate model could have been applied to ranked games (which Team Builder most definitely cannot).
