RIP Teambuilder Chat

I'm not gonna miss teambuilder. I always found it really limiting and I look forward to the new champ select. (I'm in EU so still waiting...) But there's one thing I'm really gonna miss: the chat. Being stuck in a queue with a couple of strangers for 4-14 minutes waiting for a support surprisingly often led to some fun discussions and goofing around in a totally pressure free environment; lanes are chosen, champs are picked, there's no enemy team yet, no game to play, nothing to do except hang out and talk about tiny italian islands or whatever. Tons of times this atmosphere carried over into the game - we were already "friends" which meant we had a good time, whether we won or got stomped.

So, rip tb-chat. Hope some new function fills your shoes!

I miss the dodges. In the old draft queue, people would take into consideration the team comp before they picked anything. In teambuilder, to compensate that you don't do that, you could dodge as much as you want. Now, people don't take the team into consideration AND we can't dodge anything.

It used to be every other queue I'd see "Oh, we have a Yasuo, I should go Alistar" or something to the like. Now it's always Nidalee Jungle, Vlad top, Yas mid. Absolutely NO team synergy. Rip dodges.
