Idea for integrating "Team Builder" into ranked.

We all hate the feeling of going into a ranked game and not getting what role we would like to play. I have come up with a solution to this. Similar to the LFG queue the World of Warcraft uses, why not implement something like that that allows you to queue up for specific roles (support, top, adc etc.). Once the queue would pop you would then be in the banning phase and pick champions from there. This is the best way for people to get the role they feel most comfortable with and frankly, it would allow me to enjoy the game more. Of course there is some down side to it, such as queues being longer for mid/top compared to support. In my opinion, this issue is almost neglected by a guaranteed role pick of your choice.

How do you synchronize banning? What if the opposing team has 1/3 similar bans as you have? What happens to counterpicking? What happens when duplicate (mirror) champions are chosen?

Teambuilder as it is can replace blind pick, but draft pick is another miracle.

Thats the thing, it isn't an exact copy of team builder. It is just using a element of being able to pick which role you want. Once queue pops you go into the draft lobby like you are playing draft. The ban phase would be the same and so would champ select. the only difference is that you would have already selected which role you would like. Which would take away some drama in itself.

Aha, I get it. Yeah that could work.
